Youth Empowerment Through Agriculture

Youth in kamuli develop sustainable commercial enterprises

The YETA project model was developed taking into account a context of challenges from which youth in kamuli have encountered in the“poorest region in the country with the lowest rates of education, the worst access to schools, the lowest rates of wage employment, and one of the lowest rates of skills training.” Many youth were raised in Internally Displaced Persons (IDP) camps, lacking access to education, employment opportunities, or the structure of a community which imparts critical life skills. This project targets to integrate Agricultural skills and value chain processing with Foundation skills including Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights and Numeracy.
