About the Fellow
Hillary works with colleagues at the Ministry to develop training materials for agricultural extension officers. He also provides nutrition expertise at departmental and stakeholder meetings.

"I have had the opportunity to participate in the development of the Agriculture Sector Plan (2015–2020). I now understand how sector plans are developed and that sector plans guide departments in developing their work plans."

As a young man trying to build a career after graduating from Makerere University, Hillary visited communities to conduct dietary assessments. During his interaction with different people he discovered that there is a big knowledge gap in nutrition. To be part of the team bridging this gap, he decided to take on community nutrition as a speciality. He expects to acquire better writing, project planning, and implementation skills through the UNF.
