The project will build 40 youth champions for enhanced policy making in Kenyan on policies that will boost youth empowerment, livelihoods and participation.
Addressing youth concerns through legislative intervention will provide a sustainable solution and is expected to lead to a youth constituency that is generally more content and one that feels catered for by society. This is bound to lead to a more peaceful and prosperous society in general and in this regard our proposed intervention has the general public as the secondary beneficiaries with the youth being the primary beneficiaries.
-Creation of 5 Youth Parliamentary Working Groups -24 regional youth consultative forums spread out in all of Kenya’s 8 administrative provinces -Interviews with key informants -training in policymaking
