In ensuring youths participate fully in national economic development, MVIWATA has initiated more than twenty youth groups with thirty members each in Morogoro rural District. One of the goal of forming these groups is to capacitate youths in forming and managing their Village Community Banks (VICOBA) so that they can obtain capital to finance their projects particularly in agriculture sector.
