Youth agripreneur pathway

Source documents on participant mobilisation, mentorship, incubation and enterprise development in the white-meat value chain.

Evidence summary

A parish-based route from selection to enterprise roles.

The programme mobilised and mentored young people across Moroto before residential incubation in poultry, piggery, aquaculture, cuniculture and related enterprise activities. Participants were organised around six complementary roles: producer, feeder, health promoter, vendor, marketeer and transporter.

108young people selected and mentored across 18 parishes
70%women among the selected participants, as reported in the operational brief
78young people from 13 parishes who proceeded to incubation

What the records show

The April 2022 operational presentation records a selection process involving parish chiefs, six participants per parish, baseline and market surveys, induction and training progression. It also identifies practical constraints: insecurity, hard-to-reach areas, weak telephone coverage, limited access to national identification, gender barriers, disability inclusion and start-up finance.

A later AFLI programme summary describes a Farmers’ Service Centre as a continuing hub for inputs, skilling and marketing. The 2022 operational brief lists the centre among the next-quarter plans. The two descriptions are retained with their chronology rather than treated as the same point-in-time result.
