Mercy Corps National Bunge Association Conference Rapporteurs Jobs in Kenya 2012
5 Rapporteurs National Bunge Association Conference, Yes Youth Can National
The core of this program is a Youth Innovate for Change Fund (YICF), which will be a youth-owned, youth-led and youth-managed financial facility to support local solutions for community economic development as it grows in value.
This program aims to appropriately empower Kenyan youth (15-35yrs) to strengthen their socio-economic and political stakes through youth-led and managed initiatives and institutions.
The YICF will in the first three years provide sustainable financial and skills development assistance to approximately 200,000 youth through a variety of youth-identified social and economic community development projects.
Program / Department Summary:
Yes Youth Can, funded by USAID, endeavors to empower Kenya’s youth in new and meaningful ways.
Yes Youth Can is an unprecedented program that puts youth truly in the lead of their own and Kenya’s development.
The core of the program is that it is:
- Youth-led: Youth ideas, local knowledge and innovations drive the process.
- Youth-managed: Youth implement program elements (grants, investments, Youth Bunges, research) while leveraging mentoring and coaching.
- Youth-owned: Youth are in control of all decisions within the institutional structures as a result of fair democratic elections, using a bottom up, localized demand approach.
Through this process, youth will recognize that they are in charge of transforming their society and will become catalysts for development in their communities. Such an approach to youth development programming has the ability to change the paradigm for youth programming both in Kenya and around the world.
The Yes Youth Can initiative comprises five implementing partners in six regions of Kenya as well as the national partner (Yes Youth Can National), Mercy Corps. Yes Youth Can National comprises four entities: a youth trust, a youth sustainable development think tank, a youth non-governmental organization to disburse community grants, and finally Tahidi Youth Fund to manage innovative micro and SME venture capital to youth enterprises.
