Resumen
Descripción
Youth unemployment and underemployment pose a formidable challenge for the Government
of Uganda. As a result, the government has embraced youth entrepreneurship as an
avenue to expand employment opportunities. This report sheds light on the developments
of youth entrepreneurship policies in the country. In a bid to increase research uptake and
the use of evaluation evidence in policy formulation and programming, this report analyses
and provides a perspective on youth entrepreneurship along three interrelated dimensions:
policy, evidence and stakeholders. The objective therefore is to determine to the extent to
which youth entrepreneurship policies in Uganda are evidence based and the nature of the
stakeholders involved in the decision-making process. With regard to methods, the study
reviewed previous research and impact evaluations of different programme packages on
business and labour market outcomes in Uganda and beyond.
