The findings showed that 61.4 percent of the youths were male, 41.4 percent were between 21-26 years. Sixty percent were single and hard secondary education. The test of hypotheses established significant difference between some demographic characteristics (respondent’s village χ² = 0.00 p< 0.05, educational level χ² = 0.009 p< 0.05) and benefits derived from the programme. Also there was significant difference between marital status of respondents and the relevance of the programme. (χ² = 0.13, p< 0.05).
