Training Programmes
Kulika Uganda provides a variety of training programmes in good agricultural practices to help farmers learn how to capably sustain their land, cultivate their crops, increase their yields. To help build farmers skills in organic fearmonger practices, Kulika Uganda offers farmer to farmer extensions, key farmer trainers and 11 month training courses built to provide training to farmers. These help farmers learn best practices, add value to their products, create market and account effectively.
Demonstration Farm
Demonstration (demo) farms are the most effective extension education tools for our farmers. These provide an opportunity to demonstrate and teach appropriate technologies, as well as venues to test new methods side by side with traditional methods. Although they require considerable time and effort, the payback comes when farmers more readily adapt practices they perceive to be effective and appropriate under local conditions.
If farmers are educated on best farming methods, they are more likely to produce higher yields, farm more efficiently and sustainably on the land available to them, and be able to sell their produce for higher prices through value addition.
Education
Kulika has been commited to providing educational opportunities for Ugandan people for many years. The Education Programme exists because we recognise that as a country develops it needs people who have the skills to meet new challenges. There are scholarship opportunities available from partnering bodies and universities like Open University and Manchester

As a focused skills development organization, Kulika Uganda aims to contribute to agile sustainable perspectives in agriculture, education and develop competencies to further strengthen the capacity of farmers and learners to engage in community development. Much as the work of the organization is vast in outreach, there is need to assess the progress of the beneficiaries.
Strengthening The Organic Value Chain
At the heart of the agricultural commodity value chain concept is the idea of actors connected along a chain producing and delivering goods to consumers through a sequence of activities. The approach has been found useful as it considers all factors impacting the ability of farmers to access markets profitably, leading to a broader range of chain interventions. It is used both for upgrading existing chains and to identify market opportunities for small farmers. Value Chains are found at the core of high-impact and sustainable initiatives focused on improving productivity, competitiveness, entrepreneurship, and farmer growth. Value Chain approaches are revolutionizing agriculture and the food industry. Focus has shifted from agricultural production to consumer demand, marketing and the coordination of product flows from producers to consumers. The Value Chain concept acknowledges that production must be linked to demand and the critical role of organizing the flow from farmer to consumer opportunities.
