    Uganda is a country of origin and destination for many migrants. In 2020, the number of Ugandans who migrated abroad was estimated at about 782 000. While living abroad, Ugandan diaspora communities can be a potent force for Uganda’s development. They send remittances and invest in businesses. They transfer knowledge, technologies and skills, and they facilitate trade between countries of origin and destination. However, diaspora contributions to the agribusiness sector and to sustainable agriculture are less well known, and their potential remains underutilized. This brief highlights how FAO Is supporting Uganda to strengthen the enabling environment for diaspora contributions to the agribusiness sector, while also empowering diaspora agripreneurs and their networks to take part in policy processes, strengthen their businesses, and contribute to youth employment creation.
