The implementation of the SKY project commenced in December 2015 in 30 districts in 4 regions of Uganda (Lake Victoria Crescent/Central, Western/South Western Uganda, Eastern Uganda/Elgon Area and Lango sub region). using a public-private partnership approach with the engagement of over 20 public and private educational institutions, 58 private agribusinesses and the Ministry of Education and sports under the Skilling Uganda framework.
