Completed The aim of the project was to assist Kampala urban farmers, livestock and livestock product marketers to improve their livelihoods and contribute to urban food security through testing application of simple user guidelines on the new City Council Ordinances.

A number of research projects on urban and peri-urban agriculture have been going on in Kampala since 2002. Earlier work by Maxwell and others in the 1980s established that about a third of Kampala households were engaged in farming on about half of the urban land, and that this contributed substantially to the city's food supply. Poultry was a significant urban industry contributing the majority of the city's consumption (Maxwell and Zziwa, 1992).
