Description: Abstract: Botswana youth constitutes 60% of the country’s population. Despite the effort of the Botswana government to invest in the educational and vocational attainment and accomplishments of its youth, high levels of unemployment among the Botswana youth remain a reality. The creation of an institutional support platform or framework has not created a spirit of self-reliance, ingenuity and entrepreneurial culture among the youth of the country. This study thus seeks to investigate the nexus of the relationship between entrepreneurial youth in Botswana’s self-efficacy, attitude, perceived access to finance and entrepreneurial intentions. The empirical study is descriptive and quantitative in nature with 500 usable survey instruments analysed. Data was analysed using correlation and regression analysis in order to explicate the association and the relationship of the subconstructs in this study. The findings established that entrepreneurial self-efficacy and attitude have a direct association with entrepreneurial intentions, while perceived access to finance for the youth of Botswana has no association with entrepreneurial intentions in the country. The study therefore provides not only a strategic anecdote to policymakers on areas of institutional support for the youth of Botswana, but also explicates a conative, cognitive and affective need for structural engagement for this segment of the Botswana population.
