● SG Payments will continue despite the COVID 19 situation in Uganda, TIST participants have been mostly safe from COVID-19: TIST data has been collected and analyzed, groves updated and this has resulted in more SG being included for payments. Voucher will be delivered to farmers in their cluster for signing and payments made via mobile money and bank accounts.
● 2019 profit sharing is continuing and Many Groups that did not get payments in 2019 will receive payments in 2020. TIST has been able to capture the necessary data required that qualified many groups for payments both pre payments and profit share. • 2020 profit share is starting and many groups are getting their 2020 profit share and this is very exciting because the 2020 profit share has doubled the last 2019 profit share. Many groups have been updated and carbon tones increased, this has led to a bigger and ready market for TIST tones to be sold highly.
• We have been able to resolve tech issues that will allow us to send vouchers out faster and this very exciting that even many groups are qualifying and are getting their profit share vouchers faster. Most of the tech challenges that affected voucher generator have been fixed and this has led to massive payments of the small groups
• Eligibility for profit sharing: We continue to remind you about profit share eligibility especially group updating and GhG signing has been an ongoing activity and this has led to inclusion of many groups for profit share.
● Virtual Verification. With great reputation and awards TIST has won, has proved that TIST is very honest and transparent in all its activities. This has made TIST to qualify for a virtual verification. This verification was conducted in March 2021.
● Weekly seminars via Zoom with different taskforces, this has enabled us achieve a lot and has enabled the leadership team to promote more staff to take up more responsibilities.
● TIST learning center: The introduction of TIST learning center has enabled CS servants to freely undertake courses introduced in the learning center. These courses have helped CS achieve knowledge and this has improved on their productivity metrics. Farmers have been able to acquire information about TIST through TIST learning center.
