dc.description.abstractThe trend and rise of a robust national economy especially the Asian give weight to the notion that the capacity to solve the problems of low income areas lie within the communities. This implies the use by the community of its current human, socio-economic, institutional, allocated and physical resources to build a self-sustaining economic system at the local level. This study is to establish whether or not the activities of the youth have any effect on the community economic development of Chikaji Community, Sabon Gari, Kaduna State. The issue is to what extent do the youth community development associations in Chikaji understand the felt-needs of the community that have bearing on local community economic development? The study is anchored on the participatory development theory and Frischman‟s economic theory of infrastructure and commons management. The study employed both primary and secondary data. The data was analyzed using the highest mean score, Chi-Square and a decision ruled was used to test the hypothesis. The findings indicated that the youth community development associations have contributed to the development infrastructures that have impact local community economic development in spite of lack of counterpart funding. The study, recommends that the youth community development association have to embark on serious mobilization of the community members including those staying outside the community, towards the realization of the essence and relevance of developing infrastructures. The state and local government should be more proactive on the issue of counterpart funding towards infrastructural development in the Chikaji community development
