Abstract:
The research investigated factors affecting success of projects funded by youth enterprises development projects in Kenya using a case study of Kigumo District. The study indicated that most of those who succeed in entrepreneurship are either trained on the kind of businesses they venture into or continue business training as they progress. Therefore, for the YEDF to succeed, both short and long term measures must be embraced. From the findings, the study concludes that skills in entrepreneurship, business planning and financial management must elaborately be imparted before any funds are disbursed by the board.
