Donor/ Development Partner: NCBA-CLUSA/MASTERCARD FOUNDATION
The YETA project model was developed taking into account a context of challenges from which Northern Uganda is emerging after 23 years of conflict. Northern Uganda remains 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.
