In addition to the transferred budget allocation, the NYDA raises its own revenue through interest income and capital repayments on loans and an amount of R39.7 million has been budgeted for in 2013/14. The consolidated budget of the NYDA therefore amounts to R432.4 million in 2013/14, R453.6 million in 2014/15 and R474.5 million in 2015/16. The NYDA indicated that a key strategy for enhancing the effectiveness of the utilization of resources in the 2013 MTEF will be a shift in emphasis in spending away from internal operations and move towards prioritizing expenditure to outward focused youth development service delivery programmes.
