The Youth Enterprise Development Fund (YEDF) is compiling a directory of youth owned enterprises.

The Fund now invites all Enterprises owned by Kenyans aged 18 to 35 years to register with the National Youth Enterprises Directory.

The registered Youth Enterprises will benefit in the following ways among others;

Directory will publicize the Youth Enterprises to the general public.This will enable the public to buy from young entrepreneurs, increase sales and offer more employment opportunitiesDirectory will constitute a useful database on sector specific new ventures and businesses that the youth run.Directory will formalize the existence of Youth Enterprises which may eventually lead to the formation of common bond associations.Directory with sector specific listing, will present a fertile ground on which market linkages (supply of raw materials as input for large manufacturing firms) and forward market linkages (serving as supply chain agents/distribution channels) will germinate.Directory will present opportunities for Youth Enterprises arising from Advocacy and lobbying for preferential Outsourcing by government agencies and large organizations.Directory will boost the image of the Youth Enterprises as capable and trusted partners in mutual strategic alliances.Directory will allow Youth Enterprises to benefit from Capacity building in form of training needs, market survey and research.Directory will reveal the funding structure of most Youth Enterprises which will inform the government on the most appropriate interventionist and facilitative strategies.Where to get and return a registration form
All applications should reach us on or before 31st January, 2012.
