The Ministry of Agriculture, Animal Industry and Fisheries (MAAIF), with support from UNDP, EU, and COMESA (Common Market for Eastern and Southern Africa), is implementing a project in Eastern Uganda to enhance climate-resilient agriculture, promote Climate Smart Agriculture (CSA) adoption, and attract private sector investment in climate-smart inputs, technologies, and services.

As part of the project, MAAIF has launched CSA Clubs in selected Eastern Uganda primary schools to promote CSA practices and technologies. These clubs educate pupils and teachers on CSA concepts, fostering champions who apply and promote CSA in school and home gardens, as well as within their communities. This guide provides procedures and processes to assist teachers and pupils from those schools in setting up CSA Clubs as a forum for understanding and applying CSA practices and technologies in school and home gardens.

Teachers facilitate CSA Clubs by guiding student-led activities, resolving disputes, and monitoring progress, while pupils create and implement plans promoting CSA. Clubs support school feeding programs, generate income, and raise CSA awareness in schools and communities. Active participation is required, with schools providing space, support, and recognition.
