Mercy Corps NGO Graduate Trainees Jobs in Uganda

As part of The MasterCard Foundation’s Youth Forward Initiative, the DYNAMIC (Driving Youth-led New Agribusiness and Microenterprise) program works to strengthen systems and facilitate creation of sustainable economic opportunities for disadvantaged youth. DYNAMIC’s goal is to increase the number of young people in secure employment or self-employment and to promote agricultural market systems for youth. Through a market facilitation approach, youth already engaged in on-farm activities will move from subsistence to more productive and profitable farming. DYNAMIC will increase the employability of youth by facilitating access to demand driven technical skills, knowledge and market information. In parallel, DYNAMIC will link agribusinesses and microenterprises to market opportunities and diverse stakeholders, and ensure they can utilize financial services.


DYNAMIC is one of the programs being implemented by Mercy Corps Uganda in Kitgum, Lamwo, Pader, Omoro and Gulu districts. The program engages an array of public and private sector actors to increase access to goods, services, markets, information, productive & social assets to increase the productivity of Ugandan agribusinesses and non-farm enterprises involving youth.
