Abstract

After providing an overview of rice sector development in Uganda, this chapter examines the effects of two technology dissemination programs on the enhancement of rice production in Eastern and Northern Uganda. One program was a JICA conventional training program that provided on-the-job training at demonstration plotdemonstration plot s three to four times a year, while the other was to distribute a rice cultivation guidebookrice cultivation guidebook to households that were randomly selected. The training program was shown to have improved rice productivityrice productivity significantly. In contrast, there were no significant effects of the distribution of the guidebook on technology adoption or rice production. Although the distribution of the guidebook was less costly and easier to implement than the training program, distribution of the guidebook alone cannot be a substitute for conventional training programs.
