The National Youth Development Agency Board Chairperson Andile Lungisa will embark on countrywide provincial road-shows.

The road-shows which will start from 22 October to 12 November 2009 will build towards the establishment of NYDA provincial chapters.


The road-shows are scheduled to start from the Eastern Cape on 22 October and end in the Western Cape.

In a media statement the agency, which was formed following the merger of the Youth Commission and Umsobomvu Youth Fund will aim to popularise itself during the road-shows.

"The road-shows are part of the processes of popularizing the NYDA and outlining its 8 key performance areas,” the statement said.

The performance areas include Economic Participation, Education and Skills Development, Effective and Efficient Resources Management, Information Services and Communication, National Youth Service, Policy, Lobby and Advocacy, Research, Monitoring and Evaluation and Social Cohesion.

During the road-shows Lungisa will meet with strategic stakeholders in the youth development sector including Premiers, government and municipality officials, traditional leaders and civil society organizations.

He will take this time to outline to the different stakeholders the process towards the establishment of the NYDA provincial chapters.
