| dc.description | Based on the findings of interviews with the youth champions awarded in the pilot phase of the Youth Inspiring Youth in Agriculture (YIYA) Initiative in Uganda, this case study discusses how youth have overcome the major challenges associated with starting up agribusinesses. In 2017, the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) and the Government of Uganda, with the Ministry of Agriculture, Animal Industry and Fisheries (MAAIF) as a lead counterpart agency, implemented the YIYA initiative with the objective of selecting youth lead agripreneurs and fostering them as “mentors” for other youth. The case study presents six kinds of youth agribusiness models, and discusses how each model works, why it is recommended for youth, and model-specific issues to be considered. Those six models are prototypes of “youth-friendly” agribusiness, simplified with a view to being replicated and tailored by youth agripreneurs in their own contexts. | |
