Abstract: 
This research asks 'how can youth businesses be supported in their growth?' Using evidence from Uganda and the agricultural sector, the report learns how young people build business resilience and diversify their enterprises, even through Covid-19. Digital ag-platforms and mobile technologies (and ICTs) are found to be crucial enablers of youth MSME growth. So are aspirations. The national lockdown in Uganda during Covid-19 has affected businesses in the agricultural sector. Youth in particular face a range of supply-side disruptions, including exacerbating problems related to availability of transport, inputs, accessing physical trainings and topping up mobile phones. This ODI research report aims to bring a more nuanced understanding of the drivers of business growth and economic resilience in young entrepreneurs in Uganda, using the agricultural sector as a case study.
