About DYNAMIC Programme:
Working in consortia

Agribusiness and Microenterprise (DYNAMIC) programme will strengthen systems

of young people who are in secure employment or self-employment and to promote
effective and efficient agricultural market systems for youth. Through a

private sector actors to increase access to goods, services, markets,

agribusinesses and non-farm enterprises.

agribusinesses and non-farm enterprises.
DYNAMIC will reach
125,000 out-of-school youth aged 15 – 24 living in peri-urban and rural areas
within eight districts of northern Uganda over five years. Through an
innovative, market facilitation approach, DYNAMIC will promote long-term
efficiency in existing agricultural systems.
Youth already engaged in on-farm activities will move from subsistence
to more productive and profitable farming. DYNAMIC will increase the
employability of Ugandan youth by facilitating access to demand driven
technical skills, knowledge and market information that directly respond to
business opportunities in the agricultural sector. In parallel, DYNAMIC will
link agribusinesses and microenterprises to market opportunities and diverse
stakeholders and ensure they can utilize appropriate (formal and informal)
financial services. DYNAMIC’s design recognizes that youth are a diverse age
group requiring tailored interventions to fit their stage in life and
transition into the workforce. In particular, DYNAMIC will ensure that
participating youth, particularly young women, are engaging in appropriate,
safe, and productive economic opportunities.
