Youth Empowerment

Relief Partners Uganda promotes opportunities for youth to showcase their innovations and enterprise ability to grow their agricultural businesses through training and nurturing agricultural innovations, value addition, linkages with markets, financers, input and other support services.

This programme promotes innovations to transform subsistence agriculture to agribusiness, income generation and employment creation for young people hence uniquely putting the youth in the driving seat of their own agenda.

This is achieved through Provision of platforms to profile young agripreneurship, facilitation of linkages between stakeholders, showcasing innovations, financing and marketing, business development support services and convening Agribusiness Forums.

Why the youth?

The youth stage of a human being is a foundation for a future ahead. However, a weak foundation has lower chances of guaranteeing a successful future and the opposite side of the statement is a reality. Besides, over 75% of Uganda’s population are youth, implying that investing in the youth is synonymous to securing a national insurance policy.
