Details of the Challenge

African Youth Challenge Uganda is the most challenging agriculture competition in Uganda. We identify agricultural and cutting-edge technological solutions that could help smallholder farmers in Uganda overcome obstacles like enhancing output, income, resilience, and access to financing.

The most talented young agri-tech innovators in Uganda will receive cash grants as part of the biennial AYuTe Africa Challenge.

Our assistance doesn’t stop there. In order to help the AYuTe National Champions in Uganda succeed in agricultural value chains and improve the lives of smallholder farmers there, we will also send a team of qualified consultants who are proven business veterans.

Heifer International Uganda, in collaboration with RSM East Africa, the Ministry of Agriculture, Animal Industry and Fisheries, EzyAgric, Famunera, and NAGRC&DB, is hosting the second iteration of the AYuTe Africa Challenge Uganda.
