dc.description.abstract	This paper explores the contribution of the national youth policy model to job creation in Kampala, Uganda. Government adopted a National Youth Policy (NYP) in 2001 based on the model of "targeted sub-groups of youth". The cardinal objective of policy was to enable subgroups of youth access public funds and create their own jobs. The current study used a specially designed questionnaire to gather responses from 226 youth to test for realization of the above objective. The analysis of the results revealed that in the youth's perception, only 54% agreed with the view that "targeted sub-groups of youth model" had led to creation of own jobs. Given the fact that the number of youth who had jobs were few, the study proposed adoption of a Sector Based Business Model (SBBM). A regression model predicted that this (SBBM) would lead to more jobs being created	en_US
