Formed under NAADS Act of June 2001 with a mandate to develop a demand driven, farmer-led agricultural service delivery system targeting the poor subsistence farmers, with emphasis on women, youth and people with disabilities, the project was seen as a ray of hope to the rural peasant that are mainly involved in subsistence farming.

ACCU suing NSSF over Temangalo

For almost two years, no legal measures have been taken against those responsible for the Temangalo scandal. ACCU and the Platform for Labour Action  (PLA) are now taking a bold step and taking NSSF to court.


It is now close to two years ago since the Temangalo scandal unfolded and no body yet knows who swindled billions of money that belong to the contributors’ of the fund. No legal action has yet been taken against those responsible. ACCU could not turn her cheeks and therefore a case was filed in court as a  bold step by civil society and on behalf of the ordinary people who have been contributing to NSSF, explains coordinator
of ACCU, Jasper Tumuhimbise.
