According to Uganda’s National Household Survey (2005/06), unemployment and underemployment rates account for 14% of the labour force. The labour market requires creation of about 390,000 jobs annually to satisfy the young labour force coming from population growth only.
Private Education Development Network (PEDN) is absorbing these challenges by offering youth free lessons on how to earn, save, spend and invest money wisely through relevant and practical activities. By giving youth such opportunities they access business leaders and innovators; acquire applicable information on personal finance and practical lessons on how to start and sustain a business enterprise.
