About the Project
1.2 SNV’s TIDE project
SNV has implemented the TIDE project in Southwest Uganda since October 2015. The TIDE project is funded by the Embassy of the Kingdom of the Netherlands (EKN) in Kampala and the project is currently in its second phase (2020–2023) of implementation. TIDE supports dairy farmers to transition to semi-intensive production by creating a commercial input market in knowledge (training, extension), products and technical services, and finance (credit, subsidies, and grants). TIDE focuses on four intervention areas: Dairy Farm Productivity, Milk Quality, Value Chain and Nutrition. A market was created for input suppliers and service providers by supporting the development and marketing of products to farmers and cooperatives. The project's second phase focuses on market development by supporting the sustainable intensification of dairy production systems, milk supply chains, and adequate infrastructure for input supply and service provision.
The project aims to help scale-up successful initiatives, business models and products piloted in the project to other commercialising milk production areas in Uganda. The project interacts with all dairy value chain actors, including input suppliers, service providers and government. It engages with government agencies to create an optimum enabling environment for the private sector.
2.0 Background to the Integrated small holder Dairy program (ISDAP)
During the implementation of TIDE, a realisation was made that there are many smallholder farmers who largely dominate milk production and own 90% of the national cattle population. These small holder farmers however depend on their livestock for food and income yet face challenges of low productivity, as a result, ISDAP was born and seeks to support the small holder farmers within Rwenzori, Ankole and Kigezi Sub Regions for the period 2022-2024. While many partner organisations focus on availing financial and material support, not limited to the many trainings. These have helped the farmers take strides towards improving their livelihoods. This is appreciated though we would like to integrate this support with gender mainstreaming. Women make essential contributions to the agricultural and rural economies in all developing countries. Their roles vary considerably between and within regions and are changing rapidly in many parts of the world, where economic and social forces are transforming the agricultural sector.
Therefore, through promotion of Gender equity and social inclusion the project interventions shall impact more farmers to improve the farmer livelihoods.
