YDF DEADLINE EXTENDED

The deadline for the call for applications for the Youth Development Fund (YDF) 2022-2023, which was to close on Tuesday this week, has been extended by a week to September 13th. The programme was introduced in 2009 to help improve the lives of the youth, as well as to help fight unemployment. The threshold for YDF financing remains at P100 000 for individuals and P450 000 for youth-operated industries or co-operatives. Priority for funding is given to businesses with the potential to create jobs such as manufacturing, Agro-Tourism, Technology and Innovation.
