The broad review of the mandate and operations of the NYDA by the new board with vital inputs and guidance from the Committee led to the realization that the mandate of the NYDA in its current form is too broad thus making it difficult to have focused interventions. The NYDA has also experienced challenges in the effective implementation and monitoring of youth development programmes at provincial and local levels. As a result thereof, it has been proposed that the NYDA Act must be reviewed in order to streamline the NYDA's mandate and give the NYDA powers to coordinate and implement youth development at provincial level. The NYDA indicated that the draft legislation has been completed with inputs from various stakeholders including Office of the Premiers and government departments and is currently undergoing legal scrutiny.
