Description
Description
The
Rwanda Youth Employment Project / Huguka Dukore is a 5-year project (2017-2021)
funded by USAID. The Huguka Dukore activity will provide 40,000 vulnerable
youth – 36,000 new youth and 4,000 Akazi Kanoze alumni – with employability
skills by scaling up successfully proven Akazi Kanoze interventions, across 19
(of 30 total) districts countrywide, using a series of inclusive innovations
that will invite more youth to participate in Rwanda’s historic transformation,
particularly women and youth with disabilities. The Huguka Dukore project will
target vulnerable youth, defined as young women and men aged 16-30 living below
the poverty threshold (i.e., those earning less than $1.75 a day), with
educational attainment of at least six years but less than nine years of basic
education.
