    Coordination challenges in implementing the National Youth Service programme
    (2017) Peters, Clayton
    The situation of the youth in South Africa is grim, with the future generation plagued by high rates of unemployment, poor literacy, and skills shortages. National Youth Service has been promoted as a solution to these problems across numerous government departments and sectors, with the National Youth Service Programme (NYSP) promising but largely failing as one such programme. This study qualitatively explored the NYSP’s limited success by approaching 15 government officials and members of civil society who have been involved with its implementation. Eight overall themes were deduced from the participants as factors: lack of resources, management issues, understanding and consensus issues, competition, structural and legislative limitations, mistrust, and general misunderstandings. These were listed in different frequencies at different tiers of government and across state-private sectors, suggesting varying causes for concern. Various changes have therefore been recommended to improve the NYSP’s future implementation
