PURPOSE OF THE PRESENTATION 3
- 4. In line with the National Youth Policy (NYP-2014-2020) and the NYP 2020-2030, the EDTEA Mandate on Youth Economic Empowerment is based on two (2) Policy Imperatives, namely Job Creation and the Increase in Entrepreneurship Activity amongst the Youth. EDTEA Developed the KZN Youth Economic Empowerment Strategy (YEES-2030); which has identified Five (5) Strategic Pillars; namely: Enterprise Development, Employment/Job Creation; Training and Skills Development; Information Dissemination as well as Institutional development. The KZN YEES forms the basis for the Departmental contribution to the KZN Integrated Youth Development Strategy and Plan of Action that has been approved by Cabinet. Programmes from the Department and Entities relate to Youth set aside, training and skills development as well as enterprise development and support. All entities and the department have made provision for youth programmes in the 2022/23 financial year. BACKGROUND 4
- 5. YOUTH DIRECTORATE STRUCTURE KZN-EDTEA has a fully fledged Youth Directorate called the Youth Economic Empowerment Directorate. The EDTEA Youth Directorate was established in 2005 as a sub-directorate and it became a fully- fledged Directorate in 2016 becoming one of the few Provincial Departments to implement the then Executive Council Decision on Youth Directorates. The unit has a Director and one Deputy Director and the recruitment of other positions is underway. The Unit Directorate continues to co-ordinate and facilitate the implementation of Youth Empowerment Strategy in the Province. This is done to augment the human and financial resources shortages within the Unit. 5

- 12. Youth Economic participation and transformation remains one of the key strategic focus areas for the KZN government inline with the Policy Imperatives of the National Youth Policy, therefore: 1. There is a need to focus on labour intensive industries that will absorb more youth in terms of the job creation programmes. 2. There is a need to focus on entrepreneurship skills development to increase Youth business participation. 3. The Youth Parliament must endorse the Township and Rural Economy Revitalization strategy, as a policy to be driven by youth, women and persons with disabilities. 4. ICT connectivity is the new normal and creates many new business opportunities for the youth. There is need to leverage on the new technology advancement including the 4th Industrial revolution. 5. EDTEA Youth Empowerment agenda will continue to focus on youth entrepreneurship participation and reduction of youth unemployment through all its interventions. 6. EDTEA is working with the entire provincial government led by the OTP as well as the private sector to ensure that the issue of youth empowerment finds expression in the implementation of the economic recovery plan and beyond. 7. Prioritisation of resource allocation for Youth Economic Empowerment and Youth Development in general is very critical for the Provincial government to achieve its Youth empowerment targets.
