In Summary
- Kenya has asked the World Bank to help run the programme
Training
The bank notes that training the youth will “systematically improve implementation of programmes, optimise labour, and enhance performance of the project in the community”.
But the deal may even get sweeter with a tripartite partnership of the youths, training providers and the private sector on the way.
“This will increase youth’s employability by providing training and opportunities for internships within the private sector for a certain period of time.”
A number of organisations such as the Youth Enterprise Development Fund, and the Kenya National Federation of Jua Kali Associations shall be involved.
