Out of 11,475 applications received from all 14 regions for the National Youth Development Fund (NYDF), only 42 successful projects are set to benefit from the government-backed financial rollout initiative.

Each region has three projects that will benefit from the fund.

Landless People's Movement (LPM) leader Bernadus Swartbooi has called for easier, deadline-free access to the National Youth Development Fund.

Young people in Okahandja gathered to deliberate on the National Youth Development Fund (NYDF).

The gathering aimed to share information about the newly established fund and how to correctly complete the application.

In an effort to have more young people participate in the National Youth Development Fund, the Otjozondjupa Region trained youth on how to write business plans while answering questions they might have regarding the application process.

The training took place in Otjiwarongo.
