The Advocacy Coalition for Sustainable Agriculture (ACSA) hereby invites qualified individual consultants, research institutions, and multidisciplinary teams to submit proposals to undertake a comprehensive, nationally representative study on the economic viability of agroecological organic agriculture systems in Uganda. The proposed study aims to generate robust, empirical, and policy-relevant evidence on the performance of agroecological systems across different farm sizes and agroecological zones. It will go beyond conventional productivity analysis to critically examine the economic, ecological, and social dimensions of agroecology, including profitability, resilience, resource-use efficiency, and contributions to household food security.

The findings of this study will be instrumental in guiding government agencies, development partners, private sector actors, and civil society organizations in making informed decisions on the promotion, scaling, and financing of agroecological approaches in Uganda. Ultimately, this study is expected to contribute to the broader national and global discourse on sustainable agriculture by addressing a critical question: Can agroecological organic agriculture systems provide economically viable and scalable solutions for achieving food security and resilient livelihoods?

Interested applicants are encouraged to review the detailed Call for Proposals and submit comprehensive technical and financial proposals demonstrating their expertise in agricultural systems analysis, economic evaluation, and mixed-methods research. This assignment presents an opportunity to contribute to shaping policy, programming, and investment decisions that support Uganda’s transition toward sustainable and resilient food systems.
