In Uganda, limited agricultural extensionists have always hampered the capacity development efforts of farmers, necessitating partnerships with local and international organizations. This study assessed the progress made by the Iowa State University Center for Sustainable Rural Livelihoods (CSRL) toward ending hunger in Uganda. The CSRL partners with Iowa State University Uganda Program and Makerere University in the capacity development of communities through interrelated livelihood education programs including agronomy, agroforestry, orchards, grain storage, and postharvest programs. We surveyed 454 households, of whom 48.2% had participated in extension education programs during the 2014-2018 assessment period. Primarily, these farmers trained mostly in micronutrient vegetable gardening, field agronomical practices, soils, composting, and postharvest/grain storage, least in land-use planning and marketing. The study found that trained households statistically significantly engaged in sack, keyhole, and kitchen gardening and used tarpaulins while drying crops. The study identified a general increase in trained households who cultivated grain amaranths, soybeans, common beans, high-iron beans, and groundnuts, probably due to training and provision of seeds of some crops by the program. Overall, most households engaged in the production of staple foods like sweet potatoes and cassava. Cultivation of cereals, millet, maize, and rice, was reduced between 2014-2017. The major challenges to crop production identified included soil infertility, striga weed infestation, and limited land (average of 3.54 acres). For sustainability, improving the monitoring implementation of agronomical practices is vital. Communities are encouraged to use the CSRL training centers as a hub for learning the principles of agronomy and postharvest management. These centers employ a mode of knowledge transfer and community empowerment, blending indigenous and scientific knowledge and involving the communities in planning education programs.
