On September 11, 2002 under the Co-Chair of Mrs. Mubarak and President Clinton, the Youth Employment Summit launched a Campaign to create a systems approach to youth employment generation (YES) was launched by over 1,600 delegates from 120 countries, including 45 ministers. Four years of global consultation (1998 – 2002) culminated in five dynamic Summit days that led to the development of a concerted response to the problems faced by unemployed youth. In four years by the end of 2006 the Campaign had organized 3 Global Summits – Egypt, Mexico, Kenya and 2 Regional Forums – India and Paraguay; launched over 80 YES Country Networks, initiated more than 400 projects all over the world, and published more than 100 original publications.
In the pursuit to facilitating the creation of sustainable livelihoods for the youth in Kenya, we hope that this website will be helpful in adding value to the work of building the capacity of youth in Kenya and Africa. The site has been updated with relevant information that is of benefit to the youth. We will always be glad to respond to any queries that you may have.
