Opportunities and Constraints in Regulated Finance
This paper draws from Opportunity International’s experience in agriculture and refugee financing in two settlements in Uganda from 2019. It discusses the Ugandan refugee context, the response from the Ugandan government and NGOs, and the shift away from food in-kind towards a market development approach within the humanitarian sector. It reviews current seed and agriculture work, and the role of financial service providers.
