Youth Economic Intervention and De-Radicalization Programme (YEIDEP)” was formed out of the existing need to squarely address Nigeria’s overwhelming problems of high youth unemployment, youth economic underutilization, youth poverty and their consequences of low economic development, household poverty, radicalization and insecurity.

“Youth Economic Intervention and De-Radicalization Programme (YEIDEP)” is a pro-youth economic self-emancipation empowerment initiative whose aim is to facilitate and provide adequate economic engagement of youths for active economic participation, nation-building, economic development, de-radicalization and national security. This aim is designed to be achieved by creating and nurturing the enabling economic platforms and opportunities needed by youths to be active participants in the economy and to contribute to Nigeria's social and economic development, as well as it's political stability and national security.

YEIDEP is a youth-focused strategic socio-economic emancipation empowerment intervention launched and anchored by Youths Off The Street Initiative (YOTSI) through the Federal Ministry of Youth Development.
