One of the main constraints to tree planting by small scale farmers is often claimed to be lack suitable planting material. The present study is one of a series of ISSAAC diagnostic studies in Kenya, Uganda, Malawi, and Burkina Faso to »establish a comprehensive understanding of opportunities and con - straints for improving seed systems for agroforestry« . This baseline study of the existing tree seed supply systems in Uganda is a part in this process. An inventory of all organisations involved in tree plant - ing was done in two selected study areas (Lake Victoria Crescent and South Western region of Uganda). In the inventory a total of 771 relevant organisations were identified within the two study areas. The bulk of these were small CBOs (77 %) and the number of organisations reduced drastically with size (only 8 were catego - rised as »big organisations«). Based on that inventory, organisations along 5 different strata (according to their size and reach) were selected for further interviews in the South West - ern region of Uganda
