The document outlines a framework for climate risk management (CRM) within agricultural value chains, specifically drawing on research regarding the rice sector in Uganda. It emphasizes the necessity of identifying core CRM functions and the role of service providers—such as domestic seed companies providing climate-resilient varieties and financial institutions like Centenary Bank—in protecting investments and enhancing the resilience of actors throughout the value chain against climate hazards.

• The document proposes a framework of core functions for climate risk management (CRM) along agricultural value chains to help development agencies target investments and design interventions that are resilient to climate hazards.
• Service providers play a critical role in CRM; specifically, domestic seed companies contribute by investing in quality, climate-resilient seed varieties that benefit other actors in the value chain.
• Financial services are a component of CRM along agricultural value chains, as evidenced by the services provided by Centenary Bank to rice value chain actors in Eastern Uganda.
