The AVCD Strategy is aligned to the NDP III and PDM Framework. It spells out WHAT needs to be done at the various levels of the agricultural value chain, the HOW to do it. It also specifies the roles of the different program actors (WHO). The AVC is tandem with the objectives of the Agro-Industrialization Programme under Uganda’s third NDP III programme such as increasing the agricultural sector growth rate from 3.8 in FY2020/21 percent to 6.0 percent FY 2020/21.
