The Embassy of the Kingdom of the Netherlands in Kampala (EKN) is pleased to announce a call for full proposals for a new project within its Food Security portfolio. This initiative aims to foster the inclusive development of Uganda's seed sector, with a two-pronged approach, aiming at small holder farmers and the commercial sector. EKN invites qualified organizations to submit comprehensive project proposals for its implementation.

Detailed context and the main features of the envisaged program are provided below. Key selection criteria are also outlined in this document. The maximum budget allocated for this five-year program is EUR 8 million. Please note that only one proposal will ultimately be selected for this project.

Please note that, for unforeseen reasons beyond EKN’s control, there is a possibility the program may not ultimately be awarded. Furthermore, annual funding approval is subject to the condition that sufficient funds are made available by the budget legislator.

Inquiries regarding this planned intervention or document can be submitted via email to KAM-OS@minbuza.nl until July 5, 2025. Responses to all questions will be published on our website by July 11, 2025.

The deadline for the submission of full proposals is August 22, 2025, at 12:00 EAT. All proposals must be submitted via e-mail.
