Young people, especially young women, acquire skills and find decent jobs or entrepreneurship opportunities in agriculture and the green and sustainable economy. This represents the main objective of the WeWork project, Green and Decent Jobs for Youth in the region of Rwenzori & Albertine in Uganda.

On the supply-side of the labour market, the project will target increased employability of youth by promotion of TVET (technical and vocational education and training) for green economy and for agriculture as employment pathways. General employment services will ensure that work-ready youth actually access decent jobs.

Straddling the supply and demand side, the project aims to create new businesses that offer decent jobs through Entrepreneurship promotion.

Finally, on the demand side, the project will aim to create more decent jobs and training opportunities by enhancing the sustainability and production of existing businesses. This will be achieved through Enterprise development and value chain development in agriculture and the green economy.
