Mr. Timothy Nzioka, USADF Director of Programs for Africa, visited Uganda to assess Yo! Uganda’s project implementation progress. He met Uganda Development Trust and Yo! Uganda staff as well as USADF grantees who are taking part in the nationwide Mastercard Farmer Network platform, dubbed Yo! PayAgric.
USADF funded Yo! Uganda to operationalize the Mastercard Farmer Network Platform to bring onboard value-added services to grassroot farmers through digitization and linkages to markets and farmers. For instance, the App enables farmers to receive payments using mobile money platforms and to buy agricultural inputs from pre-approved vendors.
The participating farmers’ groups that were visited are Namubuka ACE, Taabu ACE, Kabeywa ACE, and Iganga District Farmers Association.
