Budget 26,170,000/= for each forum1. Geographical area

The project will cover: All selected districted districts nationally.

2. Key Result areaThis project will focus on enhancing inclusion of youth and marginalized groups and communities in socio- economic issues.

3. Problem Analysis

The youth is a critical segment in the society and yet they are not central in social economic agenda. They form 70% of the Uganda populace and majority of who are out of school and unemployed. The Uganda education system orients its graduates towards white collar jobs or wage employment. Rampant unemployment therefore is as a result of youth looking down upon self-employment. There is worrying level of idleness among young people that make them fall prey to political manipulations and as a result they are the major combatants in violent situations.


Unemployed young people among the ages 15 to 24 has been recorded at 83 per cent in Uganda according to the report of Africa Development Indicators (ADI) 2008/09, focusing on the youth and employment in Africa.

According to the report, Uganda’s population also has the highest dependency ratio in Africa — registered at 1:1. (Dependency ratio is the ratio of people younger than 15 or older than 64 to the working age population).

The report says youth unemployment is 68 per cent in Zimbabwe and 56 per cent in Burkina Faso, the other two countries that face challenges similar to Uganda.

According to the UNDP Resident Coordinator Theophane Nikyema Report Uganda managed to reduce poverty from 56 per cent in 1993 to 24.5 per cent in 2010 but Unemployment has still remained a big challenge. According to the World Bank Statistics of 2008/9, unemployed youth make up to 83 percent of the total unemployed people in Uganda.

This project therefore seeks to sensitize the young people & communities on adaptable and entrepreneurship skills with an aim of starting small scale enterprises (MSMEs). 200 youth leaders will be trained on adaptable skills on detergent making, bleach making, candle making, shampoo making, fish farming, Garlic growing, Onions, Tomatoes, Quails, poultry keeping and many other products to enable them to initiate small businesses to generate income. The project will also empower them on entrepreneurship skills. The TOT will provide them will minimal capital to start then disseminate information to the youth groups in their districts.

12. Communication of results

Achieved results will be captured in activity report forms, photo pictures, case studies, survey reports, media documentaries and periodic reports.

13. Risk and Risk management

The project is likely to face resistance from politicians who may not want the youth to be empowered on social economic issues. This is because of the fact that youth are the major combatants in violent situations. Hostility among communities living in the project area is also a challenge to this project.

To manage this there is need for advance preparedness and analyze the information received for purposes of devising proper remedial plans. There will be also need to exercise dialogue, diplomacy and tolerance during project implementation.

14. Sustainability

The youths are a major stake in the community and the entire country. They occupy an important position in the society and cannot be wished away. This visible presence sustains regular discussions around issues being advocated by the project and this also gives them a vantage position to be utilized by other likeminded actors to propagate the same. The youth will be at the disposal of the community who will benefit from their technical know-how for this generation and future generations.

Knowledge and skills acquired will improve and sustain civic competence of the communities. The IEC materials distributed will be useful documents for future reference.
