Uganda Skilling Exchange (USE)

The Uganda Response Innovation Lab (U-RIL) is an interactive tool to bridge the skills gap in refugee and host communities in Uganda. A multitude of skilling programmes exist, but they’re scattered, information about them is not readily accessible, and there is limited coordination which contributes to a persistent skills gap. USE provides a central hub where organizations can share their information and where those looking to upskill can access opportunities, filtered by location.
