Youth Development Fund Faces Major Overhaul
Botswana’s government is planning a significant overhaul of the Youth Development Fund (YDF). The initiative aims to enhance the fund’s effectiveness and long-term viability, addressing concerns about its historical impact.
Shifting Towards Sustainability and Impact
The YDF’s original purpose was to empower young entrepreneurs. However, observations suggest it has not consistently achieved its goal of fostering sustainable youth-led businesses. This upcoming review seeks to realign the fund with those foundational objectives.
Addressing Past Challenges
Government officials have indicated a need to refine the YDF’s operational framework. The current review will likely focus on strategies to maximize the fund’s positive influence on youth employment and economic diversification. The proposed changes are expected to foster a more robust entrepreneurial ecosystem for young people across the nation.
