UPSIDE focuses on value chain development and making the markets work better for the poor. UPSIDE builds on experience with previous interventions and will have a particular focus on Northern Uganda.

New elements include a focus on climate smart agriculture as well as promoting sexual and reproductive health and rights and countering gender-based violence.

UPSIDE has three engagements, with distinct but linked aims:



Northern Uganda Resilience Initiative (NURI): Enhanced resilience and equitable economic development in supported areas of Northern Uganda, including for refugees and refugee-host communities.
