A recent X space dialogue titled, “Harvest for Hope: The EAC Agroecology law is almost here” brought together the region’s sharpest minds, agroecology experts, CSOs, legal practitioners, and policymakers to unpack what is at stake and what should be done. The discussions laid bare the cost of inaction. Chemical-intensive agricultural practices are degrading soils at

History is being made! CEFROHT, working with regional CSOs, formally presented the EAC Agroecology bill before the East African Legislative Assembly (EALA) Committee on Agriculture, Tourism and Natural Resources (ATNR), and the region’s agri-food systems will never be the same. This milestone marks a significant shift from years of advocacy to concrete legislative action aimed

What if the tomato you just sliced into your child’s breakfast was grown in soil that has forgotten what life feels like, drenched in chemicals, stripped of nutrients, and harvested without a second thought about the little hands reaching for it? That question sits at the heart of a quiet but urgent shift CEFROHT is

For the communities living along the proposed EACOP route, a recent ruling from the East African Court of Justice (EACJ) felt deeply familiar—another door swung shut on procedural grounds. Yet this time, that door didn’t quite close completely. The Appellate Division confirmed what has always been true: this case is a matter of genuine public

Early this year, CEFROHT received judgment in the School Feeding Case. The School Feeding case challenged the constitutionality of the ministerial guidelines on an ‘ONLY’ parent-led school feeding program in government/ UPE schools, irrespective of the fact that 21% of school-going children are orphaned, or too vulnerable to even afford a meal at home. In

What’s really spread on your morning bread? For years, the answer has been whispered in medical journals and buried in policy drafts. But now, a squad of Uganda’s sharpest storytellers is dragging the truth into the open, and they came ready to learn exactly how to do it. CEFROHT recently threw open its doors, or

Industrially-produced Trans Fatty Acids (iTFAs) are the main cause of cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) and other health-related challenges in Uganda. ITFAs are factory-made bad fats, have no nutritional value, increase harmful cholesterol, clog arteries, and drive up the risk of heart disease, stroke, and other Non-Communicable Diseases (NCDs). Heart diseases are a great public health issue;

Strong advocacy requires more than passion; it requires discipline. The willingness to stop, assess, adjust, and push forward with a refined and sharper strategy. That discipline is exactly what Uganda’s National Coalition on Front-of-the-Pack Warning Labelling (UNCC-FOPWL) has been doing every single month. Throughout the quarter, CEFROHT, together with coalition partners SEATINI, FIAN Uganda, and

The year had barely begun, and CEFROHT was already in full swing. From 4th to 9th January, the Center for Food and Adequate Living Rights (CEFROHT) convened its annual beginning-of-year staff retreat at Das Berliner Hotel to reflect, reset, and charge headlong into the year ahead. Six days, every program area, one unified plan, and

On 24th and 25th March, CEFROHT, together with other partners invited by the Initiative for Social and Economic Rights (ISER) Uganda, conducted a review of the Pre-Primary, Primary, and Post-Primary Education Act, a rare and critical opportunity to examine how Uganda’s foundational law can be strengthened to better protect children’s rights to food, health, and

Something significantly historical happened in Uganda on 9th February, 2026, the Ministry of Health (MoH) in Uganda officially signed the  National Nutrient Profile Model (NPM), marking a significant step forward in the country’s efforts to improve nutrition governance, regulation, and promote healthier food environments. The signing reflects high-level government commitment to advancing evidence-based nutrition policy

Picture a child in a classroom, too hungry to learn. Across Uganda’s public schools, particularly in rural and low-income settings, a large proportion of learners arrive at school without having eaten a single meal. And the consequences follow them long after the school bell rings. Tackling this reality requires more than goodwill; it requires coordination,
