Alito Joint Farmers’ Cooperative, situated in Northern Uganda's Kole District, struggled with low production and losses caused by climate-related shocks. Their difficulties in accessing essential agro-inputs, inadequate storage facilities, and fluctuating market prices hindered their ability to meet market demand.

To combat these obstacles, the SNV Climate Resilient Agribusiness for Tomorrow (CRAFT) project partnered with Alito Cooperative, aiming to increase the adoption of Climate-Smart Agriculture (CSA) practices and technologies. This collaboration also focused on improving governance, resource management, and enhancing climate-smart practices, with a special emphasis on the Soybean value chain.

Through the CRAFT initiative, Alito Cooperative implemented a bundled services approach, enabling them to provide valuable knowledge and access to CSA practices and technologies for farmers.
