Within South Africa and Mozambique SERVE also formed a partnership with a local NGO Young Africa. This group encourages empowerment of underprivileged young people between 15 and 25 years, does its lobbying, not through policy documents but by setting up demonstration empowerment projects that can be replicated. Holistic empowering of young people through 8 developed programmes, geared to equip young people with the skills and facilities to build up a life of dignity for themselves and their communities. Young Africa employs the participatory development methodology through franchising and involving entrepreneurs of the private sector to run the training programmes. Young Africa sets up the infrastructures that would enable the local community to take up the management of the project. This innovative style of running a development project has the potential of attaining self reliance in 5 years time.
