In 2017, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (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, a youth agribusiness competition programme, with the objective of promoting youth agripreneurship. The YIYA is an approach to fostering lead youth agripreneurs as “mentors” for other youth. This case study summarizes the YIYA programme assessment, which was conducted with a view to proposing recommendations for the duplication of the YIYA or the implementation of similar youth agribusiness competition programmes in other countries. The case study was developed by FAO under the Integrated Country Approach for boosting decent jobs for youth in the agri-food system (ICA), a global programme funded by the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency (Sida). The study was led by Ms. Yasuko Ose, Value Chain Consultant in the Sustainable Markets, Agribusinesses and Rural Transformation (SMART) Team of FAO’s Agrifood Economics Division (ESA), in collaboration with the Decent Rural Employment Team of FAO’s Inclusive Rural Transformation and Gender Equality Division (ESP). Technical guidance was provided by Ms. Ileana Grandelis, ICA Global Coordinator (ESP) and Mr. Heiko Bammann, Agribusiness Economist (ESA), while practical inputs were provided by Mr. Edward Taniyma, FAO-Uganda ICA National Coordinator, Dr. Christopher Sebata, researcher at Makerere University, Ms. Mary Thiongo, FAO-Kenya ICA National Coordinator and Ms. Judy Maina, FAO-Kenya Youth Specialist. We would like to express our deepest gratitude to all YIYA-related stakeholders, especially YIYA’s Technical Working Group members and the FAO Representation in Uganda, headed by Antonio Querido. Above all, we would like to thank the Youth Champions for cooperating for the YIYA assessment. Many thanks are also extended to Mr. Marco Fiorentini (ESP) and Ms. Claudia Scuriatti (ESA) for the layout and design of the publication, and Mr. Daniel Cullen and Mr. Christopher Gould for the editing.
