 In Uganda, FAO, together with the Ministry of Agriculture, Animal Industry and Fisheries and the Ministry of Gender, Labour and Social Development, have launched the second round of the Youth Inspiring Youth in Agriculture initiative, YEA, to identify and recognise successful youth agripreneurs from across the country. I joined the initiative in 2017. I was selected at the district level, that is covered by the Department of Agriculture. That is production because they knew I was involved in agriculture. So they informed me about the initiative. I applied and through the selection, which was very competitive, I was selected among the 250 youth in the whole country representing Western region. The program has helped us get serious partners because after being crowned as youth champions, FAO kept on monitoring the progress of the project. They kept on supporting us in various trainings that have trained us in entrepreneurship, project management and the value chain management plus mobilising partners to come on board to see that the youth champions manage their projects very well so that they have a successful enterprise which can support other youths on the ground. I've been able to employ myself. I don't work under pressure because I control myself. I manage my own time. I'm not under anyone's control and then on top of that what I get, I can't compare to someone who's in office by that time or at my level because at least when you get contract opportunity comes and within two months you can be able to raise 50 million out of that contract. Obviously if I was in the office, I couldn't be able to get such money.
