This July, the SPRS-NU’s team led a two-day
workshop with local partners in Arua.
They provided feedback to successful applicants to the Skills Development Fund grants on their proposals for skills
development and vocational training for refugee and host community youth in Northern
Uganda.
The Skills Development Fund, under the Skilling Uganda strategy, aims to
increase access to quality skills development – i.e. training, entrepreneurial
skills, and start-up kits – to under- and unemployed Ugandan and refugee youth
in the districts of Arua, Adjumani, Yumbe and Kiryandongo, to better equip them
in entering a growing market.
Fifteen organisations and their partners were
provided with technical support and individual guidance from the SDF team on how
to improve their proposals in areas such as feasibility, sustainability and
coherence. The team stressed that any proposal for vocational training and
skills development which targets refugee youth, must take into account their
particular needs, be aware of their limitations, and build on their strengths.
This is to insure a measurable and sustainable impact and to successfully impart youth with
empowering life-long skills.
