Abstract:

Zimbabwe’s youth empowerment programme was a public-private partnership between the Government of Zimbabwe and some Zimbabwean financial institutions. The aim of the programme was to alleviate poverty amongst youths through the provision of micro credit.

Therefore, the purpose of this paper is to evaluate the extent to which Zimbabwe’s youth empowerment programme was able to ac
