The evidence from the survey, along with program experience among NGOs in northern Uganda, suggests that the development of new economic opportunities and building social capital will be crucial ingredients in reducing poverty and improving the health, education and psychosocial well-being of youth, especially young women.Medicine, Health and Life SciencesSocial SciencesEmploymentPovertyGenderCash transfersMicroenterpriseEmpowermentIntra-household bargainingPost-conflictUgandaField experimentEnglish2015-11-16Research Support, Innovations for Poverty Action2015-11-1320092011Survey dataUgandaKitgum and Gulu districtsCC0 1.0
