EADD has earmarked ten milk collection hubs with chilling plants where farmers bring raw milk for bulking and chilling before pick-up by commercial dairies. There are also  additional 5 traditional hubs (TMs) whose activities seek to achieve multiple goals including providing a range of business services to farmers and traditional traders, leveraging farmers’ position with traditional traders through collective bargaining and improving the demand for quality milk.

EADD in Uganda is targeting to improve the livelihoods of 45,000 households in the project’s lifetime.
