The Market Linkages Programme (herein
after referred to as (MKL) is a programme aimed at assisting young
entrepreneurs to access business and related opportunities from opportunity
providers (within provinces) in the public and private sector.
Through this intervention, it is envisaged that the participation of young
people in the country's mainstream economy will be increased and the
government's objective of broadening economic empowerment among the
historically disadvantaged individuals will be advanced.
MKL is a component in the economic development support services and complements
other programmes such as the Grant, Voucher programme and Mentorship programme.
The programme supports start-ups and
existing businesses by actively engaging with potential opportunity providers
and lobbying them to avail business opportunities to youth owned businesses.
