The Continuing Agricultural Education Center (CAEC) is one of the eight departments of the former Faculty of Agriculture. The center was conceived in 1993 as a project with joint funding from The World Bank and Government of Uganda under the Agricultural Research and Training Project (ARTP) through the National Agricultural Research Organization (NARO).
In February 2002, Makerere University Council institutionalized it as a University unit. Now as a university institution, CAEC conducts training and outreach for the Faculty of Agriculture, Makerere University.
