Vihiga County Youth Policy 2018

Abstract

The youth policy of the county government of Vihiga has been developed within the context of the changing needs and aspirations of the youth. it defines the mission of the ministry of youth, sports, culture and social services of the county government of Vihiga as a timely response to challenges and emerging needs of the youth. the policy lays emphasis on opportunities to empower young people to develop their resilience and is therefore an essential planning tool guiding the county in its approach to youth development focusing interventions and services that would ensure the rise of a vibrant youth by 2030. it provides a framework on which all programmes and sectoral policies will base their efforts to mainstream issues affecting the youth at all levels of governance in the county, including a mechanism for accountability. the policy encourages the use of an all-inclusive and participatory approach and joint action by relevant players in its implementation.
