Kiyinji the state minister for youths and children affairs.

Kiyinji in an interview with journalists on Monday August 08, 2016 outlined the new reforms in the pipe line to include, having youth taught on how to invest this money and also staining the enterprises set, setting up offices where they can meet to deliberate on developmental issues at district level, finding markets, how to add value on the produce among other reforms that seek to make this programme more developmental to the target audience.

She further says that cooperatives are also to be reinstated to help on marketing the products at various levels both in and out of the country, adding that more money has also been injected in the programmee to take on more youth.

The new reforms also come at a time when the country prepares to mark the international youth day slated for 12th this month with the national celebrations to be held in Koboko district and are to be graced by President Yoweri Museveni.

The increase in local coffee consumption has also been sighted as a major turning point that could boost the quality of coffee produced in Uganda.

Statistics from the ministry of agriculture, show that Uganda produces approximately 3.5 million bags annually, but only 3% is consumed locally.

It is against this background that Inspire Africa, a civil society Organisation working with coffee development authority has started a campaign to inspire Ugandans on the importance of supporting coffee production.

The campaign was launched on Monday August 08,2016 at the Old Taxi Park in Kampala by Matthias Kasamba the director in charge of Coffee under the Operation Wealth Creation program.

Amoding said that government has only been criticising the youth for involving themselves into riots among others saying that this is because they have nothing to do and therefore called for the government’s special attention towards the youth.

She also appealed to government to reposition skills development and make it a critical area of focus within the national development plan as well as make the youth capital venture fund more workable and accessible to all the youth in the country.

The international youth day is celebrated every 12^th of August annually and this year’s celebrations will take place in Arua under the theme “accelerating youth empowerment through skills development”.
