  opportunities for youth in agriculture to realize their potential and effectively
  contribute to Uganda’s social and economic development. The program will

  for youth ages 15-30 in select districts in Uganda, including Northern
  Uganda, through a market-driven approach for increased food security and
  employment for young men and women.
