The external evaluation of the Livestock and Fish value chain approach in Uganda found that: 1) The program has engaged stakeholders and developed an internal team approach, but small and medium private sector actors are weak and unable to drive the value chains. 2) The value chain research for development work is the defining feature of the new model, but the program has faced challenges implementing its ambitious value chain approach. 3) Specific suggestions for Uganda include strengthening partnerships through MOUs, conducting joint activities with the university, and developing strategies to involve medium scale farmers and butchers more.
