Israel internship: students to change Uganda’s agriculture
Uganda has sent more than 100 students to Israel. During the internship, the students will be attached to farms to train and practice their agricultural skills, over the length of the internship.
The programme is run by Agrostudies, an Israeli body focused on agriculture capacity building and food security in the third world. Issa Agaba Mugabo is Agrostudies coordinator for sub- Saharan Africa.“The students are exposed to state-of-the-art technology in agriculture, veterinary and horticulture. For a Ugandan used to subsistence farming, this is a mind opener, but most importantly will have an impact on our own agriculture in the future,” Mugabo said.Over 1,400 students from 19 countries are currently participating in this year’s programme. Out these, 500 students are from eleven African countries, with Uganda having the highest number. Apart from Uganda, Rwanda, Kenya, Zambia, Cameroon, Burkina Faso, Ivory Coast, Togo, Malawi, Senegal and Democratic Republic of Congo are the other participating countries.

The Galana-Kulalu food program in Tana River and Kilifi counties is a flagship for Kenya to ensure there is enough food in the country. It will integrate various food and cash crops. It will also cater for livestock, fresh produce and fisheries. The five-year project will double the production of maize and Kenya will then be able to have enough and even export maize.

The date of the first harvest changed quite a few times since the project started, and project managers said the entire 10,000 acre model farm would be developed in the next 15 months.
