Dato urban1/17/2024 Blessed with good weather and soil, Uganda can be a food basket for Africa while closing the employment gap,” said Tony Thompson, World Bank Country Manager for Uganda. “ Agribusiness and agro-processing can create many productive jobs in the food system, from transport, storage, and warehousing, to retail and restaurants. Demand for food is rising, and as urbanization continues, and incomes rise, the demand for higher value produce like meats, dairy produce, fresh vegetables, fresh fruits and juices will expand fast.

With a median age of just 15.9, Uganda is the world’s second youngest country, whereas around 700,000 young people reach working age every year. Labor force growth is quickening, urbanization is sluggish, as is the transition from non-wage to wage employment, notes the report. The report, “ Uganda: Jobs Strategy for Inclusive Growth,” identifies ten challenges to achieving this, including slowing trends in economic growth.
