Abstract
The aim of this study was to evaluate the Plan for Modernization of Agriculture’s effectiveness and
offered suggestions. Accessible literature has chosen to deliberately modernize agriculture and
acknowledged the necessity to emphasize poverty reduction as a key component. The method for this
paper was a review of secondary data on accessible empirical as well as conceptual resources on the
agricultural policy frameworks in Uganda encompassing the gathering of information from obtainable
resources. The findings suggest that agricultural policy frameworks are essential for fostering
transformation in the industry. Prior efforts to combat poverty have concentrated on the policy content
and disregarded other factors, such as community livelihoods. The study assumes collaborative
arrangement between local stakeholders, including those who might otherwise be targeted, in
determining the success (or failure) of prior interventions and training them to deal with the problems
that have hampered their effectiveness. It can be noted that for Uganda’s agricultural transformation
to be successful, a thorough study should be made of all the policies that have been put in place since
2000.
