Skills Training and Tool-kit Support

Unemployment among the marginalized groups is the issue at hand.

The Marginalized population are usually the unskilled group of people with very low source of income that comes from petty jobs. Their jobs greatly get affected due to prevailing situations like weather changes,  Covid – 19 lock down measures among others, with this they are left unemployed thus surviving on one or no meal a day . The  end results are involvement in exploitative work like trafficking, sexual exploitation,  among others as a means of survival and other effects like mental depression.

Proposed solution is  online Skills training and tool kit support for Job creation.

With the online skills training the target group will have appropriate job skills for descent employment  and with start up tool kits provided , jobs will be created and they will be able to survive and fend for themselves and their families

Unemployment among the marginalized groups.  Unemployment Rate in Uganda increased to 1.80 percent in 2019 from 1.70 percent in 2018(UBOS)

Unemployment in female (% of female labor force) in Uganda was reported at 2.296 % in 2019, according to the World Bank collection of development indicators, compiled from officially recognized sources.

Children in Uganda work from an early age, both at domestic chores and in paid and unpaid labour. 80% of households have insufficient resources to meet their children’s basic needs. In Kampala the multidimensional poverty rate is around five times higher than the monetary poverty rate, meaning that thousands of children in the capital are denied a fair start in life.- Situational analysis of children in Uganda 2019 by UNICEF
