dc.description.abstractYouth represent about 45 percent (48 million) of the total population of the East African Community (EAC) Region. Many of the disadvantaged youth live in rural communities. Limited economic opportunities in rural areas make it difficult to secure decent and productive employment, hence the need to create viable economic opportunities for rural youth in the agricultural sector. Involving youth in agriculture, either through (self) employment or through entrepreneurship is increasingly seen as a potential solution to unemployment, food insecurity, rural poverty and migration. Moreover, the current estimated youth bulge offers an unprecedented opportunity for governments and partners to harness the energy for increased productivity and food security, inclusive economic development and social change. For rural youth, new business creation in the agriculture sector can present an important and viable opportunity to find decent and productive work in the agricultural sector. Against this background, FAO Sub regional Office for Eastern Africa (SFE), in close collaboration with the EAC Secretariat, implemented this project.
