About US
The United States Embassy in Kampala, Uganda has enjoyed diplomatic relations with Uganda for over 30 years.  Ambassador Natalie E.

Peace Corps
 
The Peace Corps is an independent agency and volunteer program run by the United States Government providing international social and economic development assistance.
 
Job Summary  The Agribusiness & Economic Development Volunteers assist Ugandan households in achieving economic security, improved nutrition and food security. Volunteers work with community members to build the capacity of women, youth and farmers to apply improved financial literacy and money management practices, develop their entrepreneurial potential, support the communities to implement income generating activities and increase households’ adoption of nutritious diets and food choices. Volunteers work in rural communities where people have a higher need for food security and economic development opportunities especially in areas not reached by other organizations. Volunteers also work with schools, health centers and other stakeholders to promote the adoption of nutritious diets and food choices among households.
 
In communities where Volunteers work, household members often lack the skills to pursue available employment opportunities, the capacity to create their own employment and economic opportunities and the critical money management skills needed to manage household income and expenses. Volunteers work to strengthen the skills and capacity individuals need to contribute to the economic security and upward economic mobility of their households.
