The Agency for Accelerated Regional Development (AFARD)
Nonprofit Organization
Kampala, Uganda
The Agency for Accelerated Regional Development (AFARD), in partnership with six implementing organizations — African Agribusiness Incubation Network (AAIN), Omia Agribusiness, Agromax, Tropical Institute of Development Innovations (TRIDI), Uganda Rural Development and Training Institute (URDT), and Gudie Leisure Farm (GLF) — and in collaboration with the Mastercard Foundation, will implement a transformative five-year program titled “Sustainable Inclusive Youth Employment Pathways (SIYEP)”.
The SIYEP program is part of the Young Africa Works Strategy and aims to tackle youth unemployment among young women in West Nile, Karamoja, Acholi, Central, and Western Uganda. The initiative targets to directly reach 258,000 young women, including 7% refugees and 5% young women with disabilities (YWWDs). The goal is to transition 90% of participants into employment, and ensure 70% secure dignified and fulfilling work.
Key interventions will include institutional capacity building, market-relevant training, skilling, incubation, and improved access to capital and markets. Implementation will engage Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) institutions, local artisans, and incubation centers, working closely with both local and central government entities such as:
Ministry of Education and Sports (MoES)
Ministry of Gender, Labour and Social Development (MoGLSD)
National Council for Higher Education (NCHE)
Uganda Business and Technical Examinations Board (UBTEB)
Directorate of Industrial Training (DIT)
Uganda National Bureau of Standards (UNBS)
Uganda Registration Services Bureau (URSB)
Uganda Revenue Authority (URA)
NGOs, CBOs, and existing Young Africa Works partners
