About BRAC Enterprise Uganda Limited

BRAC Social Enterprises (BSBE) Uganda Limited was established in 2010 as a not for-profit venture to produce and distribute quality seeds, planting and stock material to vulnerable communities. In 2014, it transitioned to a fully-fledged commercial enterprise and expanded its services to field crop seeds research and certified seed processing, packaging, sales, marketing and distribution. In support of its social objective to improve employment opportunities, promote good agronomic behaviors and increase income among vulnerable communities, BSBE works with smallholder farmers as contract growers (about 45% are women and youth) to produce and multiply quality seeds. Seeds purchased from contract growers are then processed and packaged at BSBE’s seed processing plant, before distribution through a hybrid network of agro-dealers and other partners. BSBE operates under BRAC International Enterprises B.V., a fully owned subsidiary of Stitching BRAC International. BIEBV is a socially responsible for profit organization dedicated to scaling impactful and sustainable social enterprises that contribute to BRAC International’s social mission while generating profits that further support scale and impact. While BSBE is a separately registered for-profit company in Uganda, it originally grew out of BRAC International’s NGO in Uganda and BSBE continues to work closely with the NGO.

BSBE will maintain two Plant Operator Officers who operate as a coordinated team, providing operational redundancy and mutual backstopping during peak seasons While both officers are fully capable of performing all core processing functions, functional emphasis may be assigned as follows:

• Processing Lead – primary focus on machine calibration, throughput, and yield monitoring.

Safeguarding responsibilities:

· Ensure the safety of team members from any harm, abuse, neglect, harassment and exploitation to achieve the enterprise’s goals on safeguarding implementation.

· Establish a safeguarding culture across all levels of the enterprise by implementing BRAC International’s Safeguarding Policy, in collaboration with BRAC International’s Gender and Safeguarding team.

· Practice, promote and endorse the issues of safeguarding policy among team members and ensure the implementation of safeguarding standards in every course of action.
