Urban Youth Employment Project (UYEP II)

Dubbed ‘second chance’ for young people aged between 16 and 29, the National Capital District Commission (NCDC) is taking the Project head on, to benefit its youths in the electorates as well as the Motu Koita areas. 

Project champion and NCD Governor, Powes Parkop maintains that 70 percent of the population is under 30 years old, making youths most of the population and coupled with high rates of youth unemployment, more needs to be done at all sectors nationwide. 

The National Capital District Commission (NCDC) is implementing the second phase of the Urban Youth Employment Project (UYEP II), currently in the Motu Koitabu area and the Northwest electorate, with the other areas in town to benefit from the Project.   

Envisioned to enhance and maintain a quality standard of living and to promote a peaceful and harmonious co-existence in the community, NCDC is targeting youths who are out of the formal education system and especially those that reside in urban settlements.
