Bugala Island, Uganda

The Vegetable Oil Development Project Phase 2 (VODP2) is an International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD) supported investment programme of the Government of Uganda that is implemented under the Ministry of Agriculture, Animal Industry and Fisheries (MAAIF). VODP is aimed at increasing national production of edible vegetable oils through increased production and processing capacity with the objectives to minimize reliance on imports of vegetable oils, raise incomes of rural smallholder producers, and increase the supply of affordable vegetable and increase the supply of affordable vegetable oil products for Ugandan and regional consumers. The VODP2 is partnering with the Global Land Tools Network (GLTN) and the IFAD under the Land and Natural Resources Tenure Learning Initiative for East and Southern Africa (TSLI-ESA), through the MAAIF launched the “Farmer Driven Enumeration (FDE)” project. The FDE uses a GLTN’s tool, the Social Tenure
Domain Model (STDM) – a package composed of participatory enumeration, and appropriate, affordable and pro-poor geospatial technologies, to map land and natural resources tenure rights for the smallholder oil palm out-growers in Kalangala District. Key Partners
