The Agricultural Business Initiative Trust (aBi Trust) is multi-stakeholder corporate body founded jointly by the governments of Uganda (GOU) and Denmark in 2010, as one of the three components of the U-Growth programme aimed at creating a Competitive and Investment Climate Strategy (CICS). Using the Value Chain Approach, aBi Trust has since 2010 been undertaking initiatives aimed at supporting partnerships with Farmer Organizations (FOs), NGOs, and SMEs (also known as Implementing Partners—IPs) engaged in selected enterprises that include maize, pulses, coffee, oilseeds and horticulture.

aBi Trust supports IPs with grants for providing technical support to farmers engaged in the supported value chains; and this support is channeled through three interrelated components, namely; (1) Value Chain Development (VCD), (2) Financial Service Development (FSD), and (3) Gender for Growth (G4G).

Through these intervention components, aBi Trust aims to increase market competitiveness and land and labor productivity; and by so doing contribute to poverty reduction through economic
growth, wealth and employment creation
