The study intended to assess the impact of a youth economic empowerment programme on marginalised youth's employability in Ilala Municipal in Dar es Salaam. The study was guided by three objectives which are: To examine the role of training on employability of marginalised youth in Ilala district; to find out the contribution of savings and credit facilities on the employability of marginalised youth in Ilala district, and last to determine the role of start-up tools provision on the employability of marginalised youth in Ilala Municipal. The study employed a mixed study design which enabled the application of quantitative and qualitative techniques. In data collection, the study collected primary and secondary data. The primary data were collected through a semi-structured questionnaire and focus group discussion, which involved 121 participants as a sample size approached through a stratified sampling technique. In data analysis, the study employed descriptive analysis and content analysis. Furthermore, the study employed multiple regression analysis. The findings show a significant positive relationship between the role of training, the contribution of savings and credit facilities, and the role of start-up tools provision on marginalized youth's employability in Ilala municipality.
