The International Potato Centre (IPC) has launched
a multi-million project to leverage the untapped
potential of sweet potato to significantly
improve the nutrition, incomes and
food production of farming
families in Sub-Sahara Africa.
The project is mainly funded by
the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation
which has injected $21m (about Shs40b)
to support the five-year Sweet Potato Action
for Security and Health in Africa
in eight countries with Uganda
taking nine per cent (about Shs3.4b)
The project will be launched on Monday.
