The government of Uganda introduced stimulus packages and measures in response to the multiple crises to address environmental and structural issues and spur green, resilient, and inclusive growth. Agricultural and natural resource resilience have additionally been embraced as post-pandemic recovery measures. The government incentivises farmers and producers to adopt sustainable land management and climate-smart agriculture practices, which have been mainstreamed into national development plans. For example, community conservation initiatives, such as tree planting, have increased access to tree products for household use and income generation for communities.
Furthermore, a new multi-sectoral development strategy coordinating the actions of both state and non-state actors and using the parish as the focal point has been introduced. The Parish Development Model aims to create a socio-economic transformation by moving the 39 per cent of households currently in the subsistence economy into the money economy. It aims to do so by organising them into farmer or community groups and supporting them to set up viable enterprises and improving yields, quality, bulking, processing and marketing
