The Centre was launched on 12th August 2003 by His Worship the Mayor of Nairobi to assist the underprivileged less fortunate and most vulnerable unemployed youth between the ages of 15 – 24 years on the aspect of “Youth employment, employment creation, equal opportunity and entrepreneurship”. The Centre programmes are designed to capacity build young people and youth groups on gainful livelihood in the field of employment – related facilities in the city and it’s environ. Emphasis is put on developing the capacity of the youth to participate, as appropriate, in urban poverty reduction responsibilities. Its rationale lies in the provision of a youth friendly approach to employment opportunities in self-employment, formal and non-formal sectors.

The youthful generation need to acquire the relevant skills to help them take decisions and actions that give them more control of their own lives and thus enable them participate actively in the boarder development process.

Area of focus for the centre includes:

a) Participates in the design, collection, consolidation, processing, implementation and evaluation of information and information programmes in the field of urban youth employment, providing in particular, assistance in the processing of information on job seekers and employment opportunities.

b) Assists in providing employment-counseling services to young people and in particular, in job search and career exploration.

c) Assist in coordination of attachment programmes and in the formulation of job opportunities matrix, which links employers with young job seekers.

d) Assists in identifying existing service providers and coordinating referrals of unemployed youth to relevant service providers.

YES KENYA-Gathecha Kenya country representative

YES KENYA is a national multi-stakeholder network involved in promoting youth employment in Kenya. The network is an element upon a growing Global Alliance to counter the various forms of unemployment amongst the youth through concerted and sustained action.

YES-Kenya’s vision is to facilitate the full and relevant employment of youth so that they can realize their full potential as individuals and collectively as members of the society through economic, political and social action. The network sees a society in which the young people are key contributors to the well-being and sustainable development of the societies and cultures in which they live and of the global community as a whole.

YES-Kenya has established acknowledgment from the government through the Ministry of Labor and Human Resource Development as a key player in the quest to reduce unemployment. Towards this end YES-Kenya participates in a broad roundtable set-up by the Ministry to encourage cross-sectoral collaborative development of unemployed youth. This caucus has already developed a road map to youth employment aimed at tackling the problem.

Supplementary so, YES-Kenya as a member of the National Steering Committee has been a key partner in the process of developing Kenya’s Youth Policy. YES Kenya is committed to playing its role in the implementation of this policy., the network now seeks to institutionalize youth service, which has not been accorded the prominence it deserves within the draft National Youth Policy.

Consequent upon this measurable success, YES-Kenya is involved in searching for ways to steward the Kenyan Youth towards better equity models rooting on a voice with influence, personal development, lifelong skills, democracy, partnership, youth rights, consultation and representation. Being the foremost youth network the country over, YES-Kenya is currently on the path to developing the capacities of it’s members organizations with a view to widening their scope on the need and dynamics of youth.

The Youth Employment Summit Campaign was born to fashion an exceptional new alliance between the world's governments, civil society, youth and the private sector to promote sustainable livelihoods. It all began in 1997 when an EDC team worked with USAID to identify Twenty Best Practices in Workforce Development, and organized global workshops in Namibia, India and Peru. After developing the Toolkit and conducting the workshops this team recognized that the biggest missing piece in the workforce development effort lay in the field of youth employment. EDC then began the task of analyzing the gaps that existed and developing a project to fill the gaps in the field of youth employment. Three main objectives were identified: Raising Global Awareness; Building Commitment to Action; and Developing a Knowledge Base. To fulfil these objectives unique groups of world leaders joined as Organizing Committee members and as Advisors and helped organize the first ever global Youth Employment Summit (YES 2002).

Youth Employment Summit (YES) Campaign has emerged as an extremely hopeful initiative in the world which has witnessed the unrest and turmoil in the communities due to disengaged and disenchanted youth. It is a global movement that acknowledges the fact that the lack of livelihoods and hope for future as the problem being faced by vast majority of youth and hence strives to address the growing crisis of youth employment. It has firmly placed the issue on the development agenda at the social, economic and political levels. A unique and effective structure for the fulfilment of the YES Campaign goals has been generated during the four years that led up to the Summit (1998–2002.) A Global Alliance for Youth Employment was established which now boasts three thousand members. In over 60 countries, youth have organized active YES Networks, which have already made substantial accomplishments. In addition, a vibrant discussion list of over 2,000 members discusses and debates new ideas to promote youth employment in their countries, and a Global Knowledge Resource of 1000 effective practices, publications and tools is made available online.

As part of the YES Strategy global summits are held every two years. These bring together youth, youth organizations, international aid organizations and governments to interact and take stock of achievements and challenges that the campaign has encountered in the previous two years. Also during these forums the YES global alliance updates and lays new strategies to tackle Youth unemployment in line with changing global trends.

GROUP FORMATIONS

Mr. Gathecha facilitated the group discussion based on four areas that were identified as Areas of Focus. He first started by taking the forum through a life skill training where the youth were supposed to see things differently and identify opportunities from every situation all incident happening in their environment. “In life we have square, which are our opportunities. The more square we see, the more opportunities to make money we can see”.

Points for Group Discussion

❖ What opportunity (square)?

❖ Who?

❖ What do you need to succeed? Problems.

❖ What can we do in the next three months?

(Look at issues as opportunities and not as problems. No body is wrong but we, as youths need to think of what we can do to identify and exploit the opportunities that come our way in life).

AREAS OF DISCUSSION

All the groups were found to be dwelling their activities under four thematic areas and therefore they were given areas where they felt they would play a greater impact. The following were the four thematic areas arrived at:

1. Employment.

2. Environment.

3. Health.

4. Sports and Recreation.
