Nile Breweries and the US Agency for International Development (USAID) are to carry out a $140,000 (sh240m) health programme for farmers who grow sorghum for the brewery, New Vision (Kampala) reported April 29.

The programme will be implemented by Nile Breweries and the Health Initiatives for the Private Sector (HIPS), a USAID-funded project.

Nile Breweries' managing director, Nick Jenkinson, and the HIPS chief of party in Uganda, Barbara Addy, signed a memorandum for the project at Kabira Country Club.

"USAID strongly believes in working with the private sector to deliver health care," Addy said.
