Who it may serve
Relevance & eligibility context
Youth who meet the current YLP age, vulnerability, group and implementation requirements. The official programme page describes poor and unemployed youth as its core target.
How to approach the route
A programme should show you the next steps, not leave you with only a name.
Engage the responsible Local Government / YLP route.
Confirm current youth, group and enterprise requirements.
Prepare the Youth Interest Group proposal and complete the official review process.
Track revolving-fund financing and repayment separately from programme participation.
Before you act
What still needs checking
YLP has evolved over time. Confirm current rollout and operating instructions rather than relying on historic phase-one figures.
Coverage / implementation: Government livelihood programme implemented through existing Local Government structures.
Responsible route
Where to start
Use the official MGLSD and Local Government YLP route; VORA can support navigation and readiness without determining approval or financing.
Government system / workflow: MGLSD / authorised Local Government programme workflow
VORA's role
Explain the route. Connect the person. Record the follow-up.
VORA can route and follow support; Government remains the programme authority and system of record.
