his report not only assesses government investment in young people but also gives us a sneak view into i) the progress we are making in achieving the demands of the young people as per the 2021/26 National Youth Manifesto and ii) progress being made in realizing the 2021/26 Youth Legislative Agenda which is one of the guiding frameworks for the youth Members of Parliament.

Beyond being an annual report and event of the Uganda Parliamentary Forum on Youth Affairs (UPFYA), the development State of the Youth Report also serves to redirect our work as the representatives of the young people of Uganda.

The development of this report could not have been possible without the strong support of the various partners of the Uganda Parliamentary Forum on Youth Affairs (UPFYA). In particular, I wish to convey our gratitude to the GIZ Governance & Civil Society Programme co-funded by the German Cooperation and the European Union for the financial support rendered.

Additionally, great appreciation goes out to other partners like Restless Development and the SRHR Alliance Uganda for both the technical and financial support given towards the development of this report.
