Name: Kenya National Youth Policy
Description:
The Kenya National Youth Policy is a vehicle for prioritising public actions through comprehensive and multi-sectoral response with the objective of integrating the youth and working with them in national development.
The Policy has laid emphasis in certain strategic areas that shall be addressed and these include: Youth Participation and Empowerment , Employment Creation, Education and Training, Health, Environment, Youth and the Media, Arts and Culture and Sports and Recreation.
The National Youth Policy is aimed at ensuring the youth play their role, alongside adults, in the development of the country. The policy's goal is to promote youth participation in community and civic affairs and to ensure that youth programmes are youth centred. The policy proposes guidelines and strategies that can be used to facilitate participation of the youth in national development.
The policy also spells out the strategic areas that must be addressed in order for Kenya's young people to effectively play their role in nation building. These are: Employment creation, health, education and training, sports and recreation, the environment, art and culture, the media and participation and empowerment.
The youth are classified into priority target groups to make it easier to tackle challenges unique to each group. The priority groups are: Youth with disability, street youth, youth infected with Aids, female youth, unemployed youth and out of school youth.
The implementation plan is to ensure that the policy becomes a reality. It suggests the formation of a National Youth Council to facilitate, co-ordinate, monitor, advocate and promote youth issues and youth-led initiatives, under the ministry in charge. The Institutional Framework will minimize duplicity and enhance efficiency and effectiveness of service delivery to the youth. It is in this light that the policy proposes that the youth division be upgraded into a department to effectively spearhead the process.
The policy will be revised every five years and as and when other government policy documents are revised.
