The National Youth Development Agency (NYDA) is a South African government agency established by the National Youth Development Agency Act (Act 54 of 2008) to address the socio-economic challenges faced by youth aged 14–35 in South Africa.[1]
It was formed in 2009 by merging the National Youth Commission and the Umsobomvu Youth Fund, inheriting their staff and programmes.[1]
The NYDA Board is appointed by the President of South Africa under the NYDA Act. In July 2025, President Ramaphosa appointed a new board effective from 1 August 2025.[2]
