Progress Report of the Gauteng Youth Cooperatives Initiative

An initiative of Johannesburg

MKL and Rural Development

The National Youth Development Agency (NYDA) is a South African based agency established primarily to tackle challenges that the nation’s youth are faced with. The NYDA was established by an Act of parliament, act no 54 of 2008. The gravity of challenges South Africa is faced with, require multi - pronged efforts, that simultaneously promote the development of sustainable livelihoods, reduce poverty, inequality and prioritise the development of policies which create an enabling environment for youth development. The NYDA plays a lead role in ensuring that all major stakeholder’s, i.e government, private sector and civil society , prioritise youth development and contribute towards identifying and implementing lasting solutions which address youth development challenges. The Market Linkage Programme of the NYDA’s JHB Branch has initiated a project to promote Youth Co-operatives with a Pilot Project in Gauteng and is partnering with OVHD, eTV and other stakeholders to implement the project.

We initially started the pilot project with a total of 22 Co-ops

from 4 Municipalities, but we can only proceed with 8 Co-ops,

because they have managed, with the support of their

Municipality, to find secure premises were they will operate

their businesses.

The other Municipalities have not been supportive to their Youth

Cooperatives.
