The document proposes solutions to address youth unemployment in Tanzania. It identifies several causes of unemployment, including poor government policies, lack of access to financial resources, and inappropriate education curricula. The author suggests implementing entrepreneurship training programs, prioritizing the agricultural sector, revising education curricula, and providing microcredit loans to empower youth. The proposed solutions aim to engage over 1,000,000 young people through these programs over six months to help reduce the unemployment rate.

2. Step 1: Experience and Discover
• Youth unemployment is the situation where by large proportion of young people in the World who are able, qualified and
willing to work are remain unemployed.
• In Tanzania, youth unemployment has now regarded as the bomb that waits to explode due to lack of urgent solution to
solve the problem.
• This problem is much larger Dar es salaam city in which most of industries are located, where by large number of young
people from all over the country infiltrate everyday.
• These young people includes men and women of different ages and education backgrounds, but according to the law of
Tanzania people under the age of 18 years are not regarded as unemployed because they prohibited by the law to engage
themselves in any sort of employment.
• My peers are also affected by youth employment and most of them are leaving the country to Botswana and South Africa
looking for the job.

• Youth unemployment is caused by the points which are UNEMPLOYMENT
shown below the major problem and their outcomes are
shown by the points above the major problem of
problem tree analysis.
• Government policies can cause youth unemployment if
then do not create environment that is conducive for
employment; example poor education policy and
curricula that can not lead to self employment.
• Also some policies discourage young people to acquire
loans from financial institutions due to lack of collateral.
• Large population of developing nations engage
themselves in agricultural activities and most of them
depends on rainfall rather than irrigation farming, when
rain is scarce most of them remain unemployed.
• Outcome of youth employment includes poverty,
prostitution business, increase in illegal business the use
of drugs and others.
• Young people will engage themselves in all these
activities just because they are unemployed otherwise
they could not.
• Prostitution business and the use of drugs leads to
increase in transmission of HIV/AIDS which is another
disaster.

• The followings are the solutions which I
suggest to solve the problem. This problem
can not be solved by single institution or

methods. These methods will give the results

young can be reached. The next slide shows
