How can rural youth build better livelihoods and lasting opportunities? From 2022 to 2026, TeamUp Uganda brought together agriculture, water, sanitation, and health services to improve the quality of life of young people in rural Uganda. Reaching more than 14,000 youth, the cross-sectoral program supported income generation, access to essential services, and youth-led organizations. Endline results show measurable improvements and offer six lessons on youth empowerment, cross-sector collaboration, and sustainable rural development.
