Motivated by
the need to economically empower his people
especially the youth, Hon. Omach invited
Enterprise Uganda to provide the entrepreneurship
and business skills training to the Youth
of Jonam County in May 2009, at Accord Hall
in Pakwach. It had a record attendance of
330 youth even exceeding the attendance
in Kampala with the majority of educated
but jobless youths. This was the first time
Enterprise Uganda extended the Business
clinic training to the Youth upcountry at
the constituency level.
Moreover, each
youth had to contribute Ushs. 5,000/= towards
the training, in contrast with other programmes
where people are paid to attend trainings
even if such trainings are for their own
benefit. below we show a pictorial of testimonies
from the Youths in Jonam who embarked on
the enterprise journey immediately after
attending the business clinic.
