Policy and Advocacy

Policy is a framework based on guiding principles within which an individual, government or organization operates to realize specified goals/objectives. We can also look at policy as guidelines for governance of the state, allocation of resources and a framework for pursuing national or state aspirations and sometimes solving citizens’ problems. PELUM Uganda’s main advocacy agenda for the strategic period 2022 – 2026 will focus on influencing policy and practice change on agricultural and natural resource management issues. We shall continue to engage at Micro, Meso and Macro levels in influencing policy and practice change. The advocacy will be broad-based and the strategy will depend on what is most appropriate for the context guided by an analysis of the issue. The specific components of our advocacy (the issues) will include: 1) Climate Change; 2) Land and extractives; 3) Agroecology, and 4) Agricultural Financing and Markets.
