SIDA II GROW - Transforming the food system to eradicate hunger and fight inequality. Uganda. Uganda is considered one of the world's most vulnerable and least climate-resilient countries (National Adaptation Plan 2015). Changing climate patterns, such as increased droughts, floods and variable precipitation cycles, have a serious impact upon water and other natural resources, agricultural production and rural livelihoods. Climate change has also hard a diverse effects on land use and land resources which has had a directnegative impact on small holder farmers and more especially women who depend on land as the means of production hence accelerating high poverty levels as incomes from agricultural production is increasingly receding. Uganda has several laws, policies, plans, programs, and strategies that favor sustainable agriculture including the National Environmental Management Policy National Land Use Policy (NLUP 2007), the National Policy for the Conservation and Management of Wetlands Resources, National Land Policy, the draft Uganda Organic Agriculture Policy 2009, the Climate Change and Disaster Risk Reduction policies etc. Uganda is also party to several international frameworks including the Paris agreement, Comprehensive African Agricultural Development Program (CAADP), Sustainable Development Goals, the Voluntary Guidelines on the Responsible Governance of Tenure of Land, Fisheries and Forests in the Context of National Food Security (VGGT) among others. However, the implementation of these laws, policies and international undertakings has been problematic with several commitments unfulfilled. Oxfam in Uganda is proposing influencing the government of Uganda, regional bodies and global governments for adequate financing for climate adaptation models for small holder food producers especially women and youths. We would like to see effective implementation of climate change, agriculture and land policies in the best interest of female small-scale producers and youths. This will include transparency in handling climate adaptation and land resources and resourcing from international sources inclusive budgeting at local and national levels. We would like to see responsible adaptation planning and intentional increased budget allocation to theagriculture sector as well as robust land tenure system that supports small scale food producers capacities. We propose capacity enhancement for govt agencies, community groups, CSOs to be able to effectively advocate for increased Investment in climate adaptation models/approaches that enhance food production among small scale female producers and youths. We will engage the wider public through digital, radio, media and off-line sensitizations and campaigns to demand for increasing financing of adaptation in the agriculture as well as a secured land tenure system that protects small scale female food producers. Other initiatives will include a people#s parliament live televised debate on issues around climate change, impact and the action that people want from the government, and human stories of famers and climate resilience.

The FAIR company-community partnership works with companies on inclusive and sustainable palm oil production. The partnership offers an alternative business model that will benefit small scale farmers (and their organizations) as well as their communities, the plantation companies with their investors and buyers alike. companies like PepsiCo bring in co-funding. The activities deliver on the four principles of the FAIR partnership approach described by the acronym FAIR: 1. Freedom of choice; 2.Accountability; 3. Improvement and sharing of benefits; 4. Respect for rights, including women's rights and respect for the environment. Central to theFAIR partnership are sustainable land use planning, smallholder inclusion and gender equality. Following consultations with local stakeholders, Oxfam and partners identified the district of Tanjung Jabung Barat (TanJaBar) in Jambi, Indonesia as a priority location for the implementation of the partnership. Selected villages in two sub-districts have been identified because of the following reasons: # transmigration location; houses with land were provided to migrants from Java, initially meant for food production but developed into plots with oil palms; # two anticipated crises related to food security (all food has to be imported from other regions) and challenges of replanting or rehabilitating aging palms. Efforts in the first 18 months of the implementation phase target 1200 households comprising 6,000 beneficiaries, based on average of five people per household, of which approximately 4,800 are indirect beneficiaries. Special attention will be given to women smallholders and to women in affected communities ensuring their active involvement and their increased benefit of the partnership. A diverse group of non-organized farmers in the wider TanJaBar landscape could also be included in YR 2 to 5, more than 6,000 in the two sub districts alone, covering over 18,000 hectares. The initiative will also benefit local and national government authorities, community leaders and members, civil society organizations (CSOs), and local palm oil companies, including PepsiCo suppliers. Planned activities include: 1. Participatory Land Use planning; 2. Review smallholder # mill partnerships; 3. Alignment of various landscape stakeholders with the value chain stakeholders; 4. Setting up transparent trade of Fresh Fruit Bunches (FFB); 5. Training farmers (both women and men) on Good Agricultural Practices (GAP); 6. Women's Economic Empowerment; 7.Preparations for replanting; 8. Sharing lessons from demonstration projects. 9. Identification of and supportto diversified land use and livelihood options in support of food and income security; 10. Resource mobilization from private sector and institutional donors.

Oxfam#s GROW campaign works for the billions of us who eat food # and for the more than one billion poor men and women who grow it.Through our global campaign, we address inequality in the global food system. Our overall objective is that people living in poverty claim power in the way the world manages land, water, and climate change, so that they can grow or buy enough food to eat # now and in the future. We support local communities to claim back their power, earn a living income, and to grow or buy food by ensuring investments in rural people. By ensuring investments in rural people, we support them in overcoming the dramatic impacts of climate change on agriculture, allowing them to thrive. GROW focusses on change at national levels and on opportunities to achieve international impact. More specifically, by 2019 we aim for more governments, multilateral institutions and companies implementing policies that promote sustainable food production and consumption, while supporting those most vulnerable to adapt to climate change, and helping communities# realise their rights to land with a particular focus on women who produce much of the world#s food. To ensure that the Sustainable Development Goals, including zero hunger, become a reality, we need innovative ideas that hold a promise of a better future for many # not just a privileged few. We believe there are key factors that drive hunger and inequality: unfair distributionwithin value chains, insecure land rights, climate change, gender inequalityand ever more young people desperate for opportunities leaving rural areas. Oxfam#s GROW campaign tackles the key sources in the broken global food system by working to mobilise impacted communities and active consumers alike. Since the launch of the GROW campaign in 2011 more than 10 million people have been reached through on- and offline campaign activities and a multitude of people has been reached through media coverage. We are proud of the achievements of GROW. We gave small-scale female farmers avoice; through the Behind the Brands campaign significant new commitments have been made by big food and beverage companies to improve social and environmental standards in their vast supply chains; we are proud of our contribution to keep climate finance, especially for adaptation and resilience, on the agenda of the global climate negotiations at COP21 in Paris; and we recently celebrated a land mark victory as the Constitutional Court in Colombia recognized the Land Rights of the indigenous communityCañamomo Lomaprieta and granted protection for ancestral mining activities. An overview of ourresults can be found on the interactive map. Oxfam is at the beginning of a new phase of the GROW campaign (2017 # 2020). Throughout the years, we have been actively updating our context analysis, testing drivers of change, reflecting on models of campaigning, addressing new key actors, and, exploring new alliances. Nonetheless, now more than ever we feel the need to increase our impact and change systemic drivers of inequality in the food system. In this document, we present three innovative work streams running until atleast 2020. 1. A new worldwide campaign addressing inequality in food value chains (expected launch October 2017) 2. The LandRightsNow campaign 3. Effective adaptation finance to support women farmers. These three projects have received seed funding from inter alia SIDA and we are currently looking for opportunities to up-scale them between 2017-2020 to reach our ultimate objectives. Wewant to note that this document does not present the future direction of the entire GROW campaign but presents three selected trajectories (2017 # 2020) where innovation is key.
