County Government of Kakamega
Abstract/ Overview
The Kakamega County Youth policy is developed in response to issues that affect the youth of the county and in Kenya by extension. Such issues include the mismatch between the skills needed in industry against what is supplied from training institutions; and secondly, inadequate post-primary education opportunities that can support practical work related skills development. The policy targeted action areas are broadly classified as Youth Employment and Entrepreneurship; Youth Coordination and Mainstreaming; Youth Participation in Governance; Youth Education and Training; Youth Health and Well-Being; Sexual and Gender Based Violence; Responsive Affirmative Action and Social Inclusion; Youth-Led Environmental Conservation and Action for Climate Change; and Prevention of Youth Radicalization and Countering Violent Extremism In addressing issues on youth empowerment, this policy obligates the National Government to coordinate the implementation of the National Youth Policy of 2019 and other national statutes on youth activities in the county and at the same time provide general supervision for youth development activities at the County level. The County is obligated to be the lead agent in supporting the implementation of this policy covering all the envisaged initiatives and programmes as well as allocate budget and avail resources to cater for youth empowerment and development activities.
