He said the trained youths would be provided with the required start-up packs at the end of the policy.
He further said that the fund’s commercialisation efforts in the strategic policy would open new streams of income for the ITF.
Mr Ari said that the review meeting was an avenue to thoroughly discuss the new strategy policy plan for 2022-2025.
