Under the Dr. Paul Hargrave Memorial Centre Human Development Project (July 2025 – December 2026), we conducted two 11-days residential training courses.

Training a total of 22 youth (12 men and 11 women) into Research Change Agents. The original target was to train 30, and so we attained a 73.3% success rate.

Except one who was 44 years, the beneficiaries were aged 20-35 years.

Beneficiaries applied and were selected from Acholi (3), Lango (16), Teso (2) and Karamoja (1).
