Grant Description

The Young Farmers Champions Network (YOFCHAN) is an umbrella organization for youth in agriculture in Uganda.

Its mandate is to lobby and advocate for an enabling environment that promotes youth engagement in agriculture as a business.

YOFCHAN focuses on lobby and advocacy for youth inclusion in the agricultural sector policies and agribusiness development of young farmers enterprises.

To achieve this, YOFCHAN organizes platforms that bring the young farmers and policy makers together to discuss issues affecting youth in agriculture and builds their capacity to engage in agriculture as a business. YOFCHANs ultimate goal is to improve youth livelihoods through agriculture.
