"Fighting poverty at the grassroots by empowering the youth with basic skills to fight unemployment"

The Emerging Challenges

 
*But, just as there have been tremendous strides made in all these areas, and in spite of the best efforts of the previous players in the field and others advocating this kind of change in Entrepreneurship among the young, there are still many challenges which face all the key stakeholders in the process. 
Recent studies speak to the fact that half the World's population continues to live in undesirable conditions of economic poverty, Underscoring this point, The President of the republic of Uganda,H.E.Yoweri.K.Museveni has admitted in his recent speeches that despite several initiatives like PFA(Prosperity For All),also popularly known as “Bonna Bagaggawale”, on poverty reduction many people including the youth are still leaving in absolute poverty. This evidence is further corroborated by all the official United Nations poverty related data that proclaim that not much progress has been made in reducing poverty in the last five years.
Against this backdrop, developing countries are faced with the reality of an increasingly hostile international environment characterized by an ultra competitive international economic order fuelled by Globalization and its handmaiden trade liberalization.
In order to help developing countries meet these diverse challenges, several development institutions, including the UNDP, World Bank and IMF have had to re-think their philosophies, and modes of operation.
In that case, Through the period of the strategic decentralization process, and further efforts to reform agendas towards addressing the issue of poverty reduction, AIFYE will engage a broad paradigm shift in its operations. 
The recognition of poverty and its related ills as a clear and present danger to global economic and social stability has now reshaped the way in which public policy is made. Indeed the emergence of several new development initiatives, such as the Poverty Reduction Strategy Papers (PRSP) and Enhance Structural Adjustment Facility (ESAF), have squarely put reduction of poverty as central themes of their strategies.AIFYE is therefore intending to work inline with these several programs by enhancing entrepreneurial skills among the youth.
