National Steering Committee

Considering the nature of work, it was felt that an independent steering committee be instated. The committee was established during the “Policy Makers Workshop" under the leadership of the Director of Agricultural Research Services. The major role of the Steering committee is to provide guidance to the implementation of the project now and the future activities related to the National Machanism in Uganda.
