Agency for integrated rural development (AFIRD) is an indigenous NGO which was founded by a group of professionals in 1997 and registered as an NGO by the Ugandan government in 1998. AFIRD is a community based organization with sufficient capacity in terms of structures and policies to implement projects.  We also have professional and skilled staff, transport and equipment to efficiently implement field Programmes. The technical staffs are accustomed to working in rural environments where most farmers in Uganda are found. As a team, the staff have worked together to implement various projects and accumulated experience.  

AFIRD is currently operating in districts in Central, Northern and Eastern Uganda.

Success Story " Through a workshop organised by AFIRD, I was able to learn a better methods of cattle rearing. I learned zero grazing in an improved way.

The cows give me more quantity and quality milk.  Children are able to study" - says Nambawa Gertrude, a beneficiary of Zero grazing Project in Masuliita. More stories...
