UNDP and UNV partner to empower youth in Uganda
It is often said that old age is wisdom, and youth is creativity and energy. How powerful would it be to have a fusion of these strengths in action for sustainable development! --Mercy Kayodi, national UN Youth Volunteer Youth and Innovation Programme Officer, UNDP Uganda
Uganda has one of the youngest and most rapidly growing populations in the world. At a 3.7 per cent population growth rate, 78 per cent of Uganda’s population is under the age of 30.
Considering the immense potential of youth to the country's development, The United Nations Development Office in Uganda undertakes several initiatives aimed at empowering the youth of Uganda. These include skilling, innovation and entrepreneurship as catalysts to broaden UNDP’s development agenda in Uganda.
