ABSTRACT
This study investigates how youth livelihood programs in Uganda's Buwenge Sub-County, Jinja District, are empowering young people on the socioeconomic front. The purpose of the study is to evaluate how well these initiatives work to address important problems including youth unemployment, poverty, and social exclusion. The study employs a mixed-methods approach to assess the programs' effects on participating teenagers' social integration, economic stability, and personal growth. It does this by combining quantitative survey data with qualitative interview insights. The report also identifies important obstacles that prevent these projects from reaching their full potential, such as socio-cultural norms, restricted access to financial resources, and inadequate infrastructure. The results are meant to provide guidance to development professionals and policymakers on how to improve the creation and execution of youth empowerment initiatives, ultimately helping to sustain development in buwenge sub county.
