Strategic Criteria for Rural Investments in Productivity (SCRIP) is a USAID-funded program in Uganda implemented by the International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI) in collaboration with Makerere University Faculty of Agriculture and Institute for Environment and Natural Resources. The key objective is to provide spatially-explicit strategic assessments of sustainable rural livelihood and land use options for Uganda, taking account of geographical and household factors such as asset endowments, human capacity, institutions, infrastructure, technology, markets & trade, and natural resources (ecosystem goods and services). It is the hope that this information will help improve the quality of policies and investment programs for the sustainable development of rural areas in Uganda. SCRIP builds in part on the IFPRI project Policies for Improved Land Management in Uganda (1999-2002). SCRIP started in March 2001 and is scheduled to run until 2006. The origin of SCRIP lies in a challenge that the USAID Uganda Mission set itself in designing a new strategic objective (SO) targeted at increasing rural incomes. The Expanded Sustainable Economic Opportunities for Rural Sector Growth strategic objective will be implemented over the period 2002-2007. This new SO is a combination of previously separate strategies and country programs on enhancing agricultural productivity, market and trade development, and improved environmental management.
