The youth have also identified a youth led agro farming project that meets their need and others in Lango Sub-region.  A feasibility study was conducted used to target at least 30 youth (between 16-24 years) old from Lira, Akalo, Inomo and Ibuje. The youth development project approach is to plant trees and crops in order to raise income but also to combat the negative effects of cutting trees and climatic problems.  Youth led-agro farming of cocoa and other crops that will improve the livelihood of 16–24-year-olds.
