CHALLENGES FACED BY THE NYDA TO DATE • Poor capitalisation of the NYDA • Limited budget allocations/investments in youth development • Poor co-ordination and co-operation with Government Departments • Securing Private Sector Partnerships and support for Youth Development in Rural Areas • Government Investments in Rural Development (National Youth Policy) • Poor Understanding of the NYDA Mandate • Delay in the appointment of the NYDA BOARD
When Umsobomvu was created in 2001, it was capitalised at approximately R1 billion and its mandate was limited to economic development • VERSUS… • The NYDA has been allocated funds a year-on-year grant in the following manner: • 2009/2010 - R278 million • 2010/2011 – R369million • 2011/2012 – R385 million • 2012/2013 – R379 million • YET… • The mandate of the NYDA constitutes both that of the UYF and NYC . It was further extended to include Education & Skills Development, Nation Youth Service, Social Wellbeing, Sports & Recreation and Arts & Culture • The NYC had a national and provincially funded commissions which were amalgamated into the NYDA without the provincial budget being brought over to the NYDA. • THEREFORE… • The NYDA national footprint is limited and cannot be expanded, as per the NYDA Act which stipulates clearly that the NYDA needs to be accessible and within the reach all youth, especially in the rural areas. The NYDA therefore has no means to increase its infrastructure plans to deliver on its mandate of being accessible to all new youth in offering its products and services Poor Capitalisation of the Merger – Limited budget allocations/investment
