PALM Corps, in partnership with Welthungerhilfe (WHH) as the lead partner and with funding from the European Union through Enabel, is implementing the GetSet4Biz Project. This 24-month action seeks to enhance and sustain livelihoods for vulnerable refugee and host community youth in Uganda’s West Nile region. The project targets the districts of Arua, Terego, Madi Okollo, and Yumbe, focusing on creating self-employment opportunities, especially in the agricultural sector.

The overall objective of the project is to empower refugee and host community youth, including young women and persons with disabilities (PWDs), through improved access to self-employment opportunities.

To support project implementation, PALM Corps is seeking qualified and committed individuals to serve as Community-Based Enterprise Facilitators (CBEFs).
