Restless

Development is an international non-profit organization which is embarking on

becoming the global banner carrier for youth-led development; demonstrating at

the grassroots and policy levels that young people can and must play a lead

role in development. Over the past five years, Restless Development has more

than tripled the size of its budgets and programmes, and has been repeatedly

cited as a model of best practice in youth-led development by the World Bank,

DFID, UNICEF and others.

Working in

consortia with GOAL, Mercy Corps, VSO, the MasterCard Foundation Driving

Youth-led New Agribusiness and Microenterprise (DYNAMIC) programme will strengthen

systems and facilitate the creation of sustainable economic opportunities for

disadvantaged Ugandan youth. DYNAMIC’s overall goal is to increase the number

of young people who are in secure employment or self employment and to promote

effective and efficient agricultural market systems for youth. Through a

market-driven and holistic approach, DYNAMIC will engage an array of public and

private sector actors to increase access to goods, services, markets,

information and productive and social assets to increase productivity of

Ugandan agribusinesses and non-farm enterprises. DYNAMIC will reach 125,000

out-of-school youth aged 15 – 24 living in peri-urban and rural areas within

eight districts of northern Uganda over five years. Through an innovative,

market facilitation approach, DYNAMIC will promote long-term efficiency in

existing agricultural systems. Youth already engaged in on-farm activities will

move from subsistence to more productive and profitable farming. DYNAMIC will increase

the employability of Ugandan youth by facilitating access to demand driven

technical skills, knowledge and market information that directly respond to

business opportunities in the agricultural sector. In parallel, DYNAMIC will

link agribusinesses and microenterprises to market opportunities and diverse

stakeholders, and ensure they can utilize appropriate (formal and informal)

financial services. DYNAMIC’s design recognizes that youth are a diverse age

group requiring tailored interventions to fit their stage in life and

transition into the workforce. In particular, DYNAMIC will ensure that

participating youth, particularly young women, are engaging in appropriate,

safe, and productive economic opportunities.
