According to the 2017 World Food Prize laureate, Dr. Akinwumi Adesina, the ”future of African youth lies in agriculture.” This future can be realized by making agriculture both profitable and "cool" for young people. Adesina also argues for the need to move the perception of agriculture from a way of life for millions of rural people to a business. Figures by the Uganda Bureau of Statistics indicate that Uganda is one of the countries in the world with the youngest population. Over 70 percent of the country’s population of 40 million people is below 30 years of age. Youth unemployment stands at about 70 percent, and about 400,000 youths are released annually into the job market to compete for approximately 10,000 available jobs.

In Uganda today, several young people graduate from universities but fail to get employment. The majority end-up in informal jobs or underemployed in areas that they are even not passionate about. There is therefore a need to change this narrative and provide opportunities for graduates in agribusiness.

Through a tailored 3 months training we aim to equip participants with skills in agribusiness entrepreneurship using design thinking to help participants to come up with innovative business ideas that address challenges in the agricultural sector. Successful trainees will also have access to mentorship and to group-based lean start-up capital in form of a revolving loan.
