Huguka Dukore Annual Report 2017

The USAID Huguka Dukore activity is a 5-year (December 9, 2016-December 8, 2021) youth employment program that will provide 40,000 out-of-school youth, including 34,000 new youth and 6,000 Akazi Kanoze alumni, with market-relevant employability skills and pathways to new or better employment. Huguka Dukore will build upon and scale up successfully proven Akazi Kanoze interventions, across at least 19 districts (of 30 total) countrywide using innovations that will invite more youth to participate in Rwanda's continued economic growth. With an overview of the project's three operational Fiscal Year 2017 (FY17) quarters: January - March, April - June, and July-September, this first Annual Report highlights achievements as well as key learnings and challenges encountered during implementation of the Year 1 Huguka Dukore Annual Work Plan approved by USAID on March 15, 2017
