The
USAID Rwanda HugukaDukore activity, over the course of five years, prepares the
Rwandan youth workforce to meet the needs of an evolving knowledge-based
economy that requires 21st century capabilities. The HugukaDukore activity will
provide 40,000 vulnerable youth – 36,000 new youth and 4,000 Akazi Kanoze
alumni – with employability skills by scaling up proven successful Akazi Kanoze
interventions across 19 of 30 districts countrywide. HugukaDukore will use a
series of inclusive innovations that will invite more youth to participate in
Rwanda’s historic transformation, particularly women and youth with disabilities
