The main objective of the study is to empirically determine the impact of MDGs-microfinance scheme on the entrepreneurial development of youths in FCT communities. The study employs both primary and secondary data obtained from the beneficiaries and FCT-MDGs/microfinance banks using copies of questionnaires administered on 86 youths across the six Area Councils and policy files/documents respectively. The studyintroduces one dependentvariable ofentrepreneurialdevelopmentproxiedby the income status/level of the beneficiaries after the scheme and two independent variables, microfinance loans and loan repayment. The method of research adopted is survey; the study used both inferential and descriptive statistics by employing the techniques ofmultiple regression analysis tested at 5% significant level which comprises of ANOVA, correlation test and the co-efficient of regression. The findings revealed that the MDGs-microfinance scheme has significant positive impact on the entrepreneurial development of youths in the six area councils of FCT covered.
