| Abstract | CITATION: Kisunza, R. N. & Theuri, F. (2014). Determinants of effective utilization of youth enterprise development fund: A case of Kisauni Constituency, Mombasa County in Kenya. International Journal of Social Sciences and Entrepreneurship, 1 (13), 93-110. ABSTRACT The Youth Enterprise Development Fund is one of the Government initiative established in the year 2006 with a mission to increase economic opportunities and participation by Kenyan youth through enterprise development and strategic partnerships. The objective of the study was to find out the factors that affect effective utilization of Youth Enterprise Development Fund in Kisauni constituency in Mombasa County. These factors included youth literacy levels, entrepreneurial experience, funding requirements and capacity building. The study adopted a cross-sectional research design and employed both stratified random sampling and simple random sampling to select the sample from which data was collected out of the 96 active youth groups funded through Youth Enterprise Development Fund in Kisauni constituency. The data collected using questionnaires was edited, coded and analyzed using descriptive statistics facilitated by use of Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SSPS). The cross-sectional design was adopted due to the nature of the study population which integrates a composite of socio-economic variables ranging from gender through to age, education and socio-cultural variables. They are done within a single time frame (Olsen and George, 2004). Additionally, high reliability is easy to obtain by presenting all subjects with a standardized stimulus which ensures that observer subjectivity is greatly eliminated (Mugenda and Mugenda, 2008). A worded questionnaire was used as the instrument of data collection due to the fact that respondents were able to complete them without help, anonymously, and it was cheaper and quicker than other methods while reaching out to larger sample (Bryman, 2008; Cohen et al., 2007). The questionnaire had both open and closed ended items for collection of primary data. The target population was 960 members of youth groups and a sample size of 96 which was 10% of the target population was utilized in this study, hypothesized by Bryman, (2008). The findings were presented using tables, charts and graphs. |
