I work in the one-stop youth center Kampala and Arua. I’m part of the UN Habitat team and I’m coordinated that youth program. One-stop youth center has empowered young people about six thematic areasin terms of economy and employment creation. Providing quite a number of services in reproductive health， ICT （information and communication technology）…But specifically for entrepreneurship. We promote skills development among young people. Uganda has got high unemployment rates， so the country has said， “we need to give them skills”. And that’s what we do， we partner with a number of organizations to train young people in business entrepreneurship and management skills.
When we train them， we try to link them to financial institutions and other development agencies that provide funding， because after finishing the training， getting start-up capital is a challenge for them. They need money to start their own business， because the government cannot provide enough employment for the young people.
In Kampala we’re training 400 young people in ICT and leadership skills. 12 week training per class， and every class with 25 youths.After the training， we hope that they will be able to start something and help their communities. It is mandatory for every youth that takes part in the training to go back to the community， helping with the cleaning， helping the poor， helping the elderly. Also， each class is supposed to identify a project. The class that’s training now， they’ve gone to support a school. It makes them feel that they are part of the community and that they have a social responsibility with their communities.
For Arua （north of Uganda）： We’re implementing the program with the Arua municipality. Last year we trained over 1000 youths in entrepreneurship and business management skills. At least over 50% of those trainees have created their own jobs. We try to provide them with key tools .We also give them life skills. They need to be mentored. Some of them we identify good firms where they can go for mentorship， to ensure that at least they can get a good foundation to start.
I’m happy that the government in Uganda has realized that youth they are key stakeholders in the development of our economy and they have come up with a number of programs to support them. One of the program is called “Skilling Uganda”， because they realize that the unemployment situation in Uganda is attributed to a lack of employable skills. That program gives them access to multisector skills， life skills， and vocational skills. I started with young people in 2006.I think young people have the potential and can be good leaders， they know their problems better than we do， they can always find solutions to their problems， but it would also be good for the government and other development partners to involve them in all their interventions. For young people to feel that a project belongs to them， that they’re part of it， they need to be involved right from the start， from the design of the project.
We know young people are very energetic and can do anything. You talk about riots in the cities， crime， youths selling themselves and actually， that’s because they fail to make good livelihoods and they can’t find alternatives. It is very important that government and other development partners take young people as key stakeholders to create change. Young people also have a problem of attitude， sometimes their attitude towards certain opportunities may not be that good.
They disregard the vocational training， but they don’t realize that many youths that have gone to university don’t have jobs because the government is not able to provide employment. Entrepreneurship is being introduced as a concept in secondary school in Uganda. It has becomes a subject up until university.
At the country level we are promoting physical development planning， making sure that the spaces for young people are being identified （recreational center， youth center）... They are part of the development of the cities. We also try to promote their engagement， let them take part in the construction of the city. We are trying to train young people to build their own centers.
我在“一站式青年中心”的乌干达坎帕拉和阿鲁亚代表处工作。作为联合国人居署的一分子，我主要协调青年项目的开展。“一站式青年中心”主要围绕6个主题为青年人赋权。例如信息交流技术项目。其中，特别针对创业开展了提升青年技能的服务。乌干达有着很高的失业率，所以国家决定必须授予青年人技能。这也是我们在做的事情，通过与很多组织合作，培训青年人在创业及管理上的技能。
当培训他们时，我们会为其联系金融机构和其它能提供资金的机构。因为培训结束后，启动资金是一个挑战。如果政府不能为这些青年提供足够就业机会，那么他们需要这笔钱来创业。
在坎帕拉，我们为400名青年人培训了ICT和领导技能。每个培训持续12周，每个培训班有25名青年人。培训之后，我们希望他们能开始工作，并回馈社区，这似乎是每个青年的义务。每一个培训班会有一个项目，目前正在进行的项目是支持一所学校。这让他们觉得自己是其中的一份子，并具有社会责任感。
在阿鲁亚，我们正与市政府开展合作。去年，我们对1，000多名青年培训了创业及商业管理技能。其中，至少50%都实现了创业。我们希望提供给一个关键的工具，同时也培训生活的技能，他们需要这些辅导。
我很高兴乌干达政府已经意识到青年是国家经济发展的关键因素，也为此实施了很多项目支持他们。其中一个项目叫做“技能乌干达”。在他们看来，乌干达的失业问题主要是由于就业技能的缺乏。这个项目让他们能接触到多方面的职业与生活技能。
从2006年起，我就开始从事青年工作。他们有潜力成为一个好的领导者，他们比我们更知道其自身存在的问题并找到解决之法。但是，拥有政府或其它部门的帮助能更好的解决问题。对于青年人来说，让他们感觉自己是所从事之事的一部分很重要，他们需要从一开始就参与其中。
青年人拥有无穷的活力，可以做任何事情。或许你会说城市里发生的骚乱、犯罪等事件，但那是因为他们没有好的生计，往往别无选择。所以，政府与企业将青年人视为改变现实的关键因素显得非常重要。当然，青年人会有一些态度问题，有时他们对待机遇的态度并不正确。他们忽视职业培训，但他们没有意识到的是不少上过大学的青年人同样因为政府未能提供足够的就业机会而失业。目前，乌干达正在中学阶段中引进创业教育。青年是城市发展的一部分，我们要促进其参与到城市的建设中来，开创一片天地。
