Goal 1

Civic Participation

Despite constituting a huge proportion of the population, young people are rarely included in decision-making processes in Uganda. We're working to ensure that young Ugandans are able to take up substantial, meaningful roles in development.

Goal 2

Livelihoods and Employment

Uganda's high levels of unemployment are hitting young people the hardest. Over 80% of 15-24 year old are unemployed. We're working with young people to help them build sustainable livelihoods which are critical to ensuring macroeconomic growth and avoiding the problematic effects of mass unemployment.

Goal 3

Sexual and Reproductive Health

Uganda has the world's second highest fertility rate, with population size projected to triple from 2010 to 2050. But it's this population's age structure which is of most significance. We're empowering young people to make improved decisions regarding their sexual health and reproductive planning for a healthier and more sustainable population.
