Uganda Christian University (UCU) is this week hosting 31 delegates from regional and international partner institutions for a pilot training on sustainable agricultural value chains under the EU Erasmus programme.

The five-day engagement, running from 9th to 13th February 2026, brings together participants from RUFORUM, the University of Nairobi, Pwani University, Makerere University, and collaborating institutions from the Czech Republic.

The training commenced on Monday at the Principal’s Hall, UCU Main Campus in Mukono, designed to build capacity in sustainable agriculture, with a focus on strengthening value chain systems, improving market linkages, and enhancing resilience among farming communities.

The programme features interactive sessions, case studies, and practical discussions aimed at deepening understanding of sustainable production, processing, and marketing within agricultural systems.
The training is expected to inform future curriculum development, joint research partnerships, and community-based agricultural initiatives across the participating institutions.
