The project Innovating Horticulture in Eastern Africa will be implemented in Ethiopia, Uganda and Kenya between the German Federal Ministry of Economic Cooperation and Development (through GIZ) and the Gates Foundation. The aim is to support the development of the horticulture sub-sector in the Common Market for Eastern and Southern Africa (COMESA) and East African Community (EAC) trading blocks. Bund-Länder-Programm (BLP) Project Saxony-Uganda aims at Improving the use of traditional medicinal plants in Uganda. For the majority of the Ugandan population, traditional natural medicine (TNM) is the usual and affordable means of accessing primary medical care. Medicines derived from plants play a prominent role in this context. The identity and purity of the species used, as well as recommendations for use and efficacy, are based on oral tradition. High demand is contrasted by a lack of data on the efficacy of herbal substances. The project aims to develop an exemplary value chain for the commercial use of traditional medicinal plants, including product development/design and, where applicable, the approval process, from the producers of the plant material to (intermediate) traders and end customers. In the long term, the income opportunities of poorer population groups, especially women from rural areas shall be improved through the standardised and scientifically monitored cultivation of selected traditional medicinal plants and their sustainable commercial use.
