Kashaari
County, Mbarara District is one of the counties
in Uganda that is endowed with lot of untapped resources
and potential. Locally it is sometime referred to
as “the land of milk and honey” highlighting
the abundance of such high value products. However,
a lot of these resources are not optimally exploited
for the economic benefit of the local people. Milk,
fruit and raw materials wastages have been reported
to as high as between 25-40% for some fruits like
the cooking bananas locally referred to as matooke. |

had an attendance of 584 youth and their leaders.
Moreover, each youth and leader 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.
