The study was conducted between March and April 2021 in the Kamuli and Hoima districts, Uganda (Figure 1). These districts have high numbers of pig rearing households and high demand for pig meat and pig products Ouma et al. (16). The districts of Kamuli and Hoima were chosen because they have been sites for the International Livestock Research Institute (ILRI)-led research on the pig value chain. This made entry into the study site easy because local stakeholders had already established contact. The pig value chain of the districts had also been previously well-characterised Asiimwe et al. (17), Ouma et al. (2). In each district, community participants were drawn from villages within three sub-counties. However, the central government ministry official participants were drawn from across the districts.
