CIYOTA, with a 19-year history of supporting Refugees, Displaced Persons (RDPs), and Persons with Disabilities (PWDs) through education, vocational skills, employment and entrepreneurial leadership, seeks to implement a Multi-Year program targeting 3,425 youth in DRC and Uganda in 2026.

The overall goal of the program is to improve access to quality and relevant secondary education and skills development for 3,425 youth from refugee and host communities in Uganda and the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) by November 2030.

The program is structured into three key outcome areas, each with targeted activities to ensure sustainable impact:

Outcome 1: Enhanced access to quality and relevant secondary and tertiary education for 2,880 young people.

Outcome 2: Improved capacity of 515 out-of-school RDP and host community youth with vocational skills.

Outcome 3: 30 Associates with strengthened personal development, transformative leadership, and employability skills to become professionally competitive.

The program adopts a holistic, multi-stakeholder approach to ensure long-term sustainability and impact. It integrates education, economic empowerment, and professional skilling, providing young people, particularly those from RDPs, the host community, and PWDs, with a transition into dignified employment or further education. This multi-pronged approach ensures sustained economic resilience and community-driven development.
