Landcare in Uganda has evolved in various phases as described below:
2001-2003-AGILE

- Conflict resolution in NRM
- Training Farmers in Sustainable Land management ( SLM)
- Celebrating the birth of landcare in Uganda
- Cross site visits
2003—2008- Partnerships and Promotion of Land care
The aim was to foster collective action to enhance the capacity of institutions in addressing land degradation through Landcare. Key high lights of this phase include:
- Promoting natural resource governance
- Enhancing adoption of sustainable land management
- Improving the capacity of grassroots level institutions
- Creating Innovation Platforms
2009 to date: Scaling of SLM
The aim was to catalyze landscape level adoption of sustainable land management innovations and integrating livelihoods and conservation. Success stories from Uganda are being applied in other countries to enhance the adoption of the approach in other African countries.
