About SAYE Project:

Heifer International, in partnership with Mastercard Foundation (MCF), is implementing the SAYE project in 11 districts (Jinja, Mayuge, Iganga, Kamuli, Kaliro, Namutumba, Bugweri, Luuka, Buyende, Namayingo, and Bugiri) in the Busoga sub-region. The project is implemented by Heifer in a consortium with four partners: Enhancing University Responsiveness to Agribusiness Development Ltd (CURAD), Federation of Small and Medium Enterprises (FSME), Financial Sector Deepening Uganda (FSDU), and ASIGMA Group. The project focuses on addressing market system barriers for youth transition to work while building and strengthening systems and structures as enablers for youth to secure dignified and fulfilling work. The intervention aims to reach 250,000 young people aged 16-35 years (70% female and 30% male), including 3% of youth with disabilities. Out of the total reached, 175,000 youth will transition into dignified and fulfilling work within agribusiness enterprises in priority value chains of poultry, horticulture, oilseeds, dairy, and beef. The project goal is to improve the socio-economic well-being and resilience of young people in the Busoga sub-region by 2029.
