AIDA – Agricultural Investors as Development Actors?

AIDA examines the development outcomes of foreign agricultural investments at sub-national level for people living in and using land in their vicinity, using Danish agricultural investments and their location in Tanzania and Uganda as the case and geographical starting point. In particular, AIDA focuses on the development outcomes with respect to employment, land tenure security and water security.

AIDA is a collaborative research programme (March 2016 – December 2022; delayed by the Covid-19 pandemic), coordinated by Danish Institute for International Studies (DIIS) and funded through a grant provided by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Denmark (MFA).
