Sustaining Gains & Continuing Services for Smallholder Farmers (SGCF) is a 12-month project led by GOAL Uganda in partnership with Agriterra and Caritas Kabale. It builds on the Common Ground and BRIGHT projects implemented over the last four years (2023-2026) in Kigezi region.

The project protects what those programmes have achieved. It keeps support flowing to smallholder farmers, Farmer Organisations, cooperatives and other local actors, and strengthens the handover to local systems so that services continue long after the project ends.

SGCF works through three pathways:

  1. Supporting households and communities to put their Participatory Intergrated Plans, Community Visions and Action Plans into practice.
  2. Sustainable land use, farming systems and engagement with local government.
  3. Markets, access to finance and stronger Farmer Organisations

Along the way, the project will generate practical learning to shape future programmes.

Over 12 months, SGCF aims to support 96 communities in the districts of Kabale, Rubanda, Rukiga and Kisoro in Kigezi region.
