ABSTRACT
The study investigates the effectiveness of the youth revolving fund in alleviating poverty in
Zimbabwe. This will be brought about through using a case study of the Youth Agenda
Trust’s involvement in Zengeza Suburbs from the period 2007-2014. The researcher made
use of the questionnaires and interviews to collect data. A purposeful sample was used in
choosing the beneficiaries of the youth revolving fund. Interviews were also conducted with
the beneficiaries of the youth revolving fund from Zengeza. The organisation also contributed
on these interviews. The study reveals that there is lack of transparency in issuing these
funds, moreover the youths who would have benefited from the revolving fund are not being
honest enough to return the funds as expected. However, some of these youths have benefited
a lot from these youth revolving funds which has helped eradicate poverty in Zimbabwe. The
study also reveals the indicators of effectiveness which are: percentage of people below the
Total Consumption Poverty Line, Human Poverty Index and employment to population
increase. The study also looks at the numbers of the youths who have been assisted by the
youth revolving fund and the income generating projects that they have engaged in so as to
eradicate poverty amongst the youths.
