Continuing growth

Agricultural R&D spending continued its growth path during 2011–2014. Total agricultural spending, adjusted for inflation, was three times higher in 2014 than in 2000. This growth was the result of increased government and donor support to NARO combined with the establishment of new universities. Consequently, the country’s 2014 research intensity ratio nearly reached the recommended 1 percent target set by the African Union and the United Nations.

Total spending on agricultural R&D in Uganda grew by 15 percent during 2008–2011, mainly stemming from increased spending by the country’s main agricultural R&D agency, NARO.

The Ugandan government doubled its funding to NARO during 2008–2011 (in inflation-adjusted terms); development bank loans and donor contributions continued to be important funding sources as well, but have been highly volatile over time.
