< Back CPS: Youth-Led Change: Empowering Communities through Nonviolent Advocacy Location Kisumu and Bungoma County Location Peace and Governance Youth-Led Change: Empowering Communities through Nonviolent Advocacy Pamoja, in partnership with GIZ-CPS, continues to empower youth across Kenya to become powerful advocates for peace, accountability, and improved service delivery in their communities. Recently, two impactful Youth Sensitization Workshops on Accountability and Service Delivery were held in Kisumu and Bungoma County, bringing together passionate young leaders equipped with nonviolent advocacy skills. Kisumu County: Driving Tangible Improvements The workshop held at Jumuia Hotel, Kisumu County, gathered youth advocates who have undergone intensive nonviolent advocacy training. These young change-makers have since initiated various peaceful actions that have led to real, positive changes in their communities. Key achievements include: Restocking of essential drugs at Nyalenda Health Centre in Kisumu Central Sub-County. Restoration of non-functional security lights in several neighborhoods, enhancing community safety. These youth are now empowered to identify and address local issues independently , without direct support from Pamoja. They have also developed a strategic roadmap to guide future interventions, ensuring sustainable impact across the county. Bungoma County: Building a Culture of Civic Engagement In Bungoma County, the workshop took place at Tourist Hotel, where enthusiastic youth advocates convened to deepen their understanding of nonviolent civic engagement. The participants, trained in advocacy techniques, are now leading efforts to tackle pressing community concerns. Notable outcomes include: The County Government of Bungoma, under the Department of Environment, Tourism, Water, and Climate, has acknowledged and agreed to adopt the youth-led approach to waste management in Cheptais and Malakisi , which involved engaging traders and locals to highlight challenges and escalate solutions to other markets. Repairs of a dilapidated road in Buluma Sub-County are currently underway following a memorandum submitted by youth advocates to the County Government. Like their peers in Kisumu, the Bungoma youth advocates are now well-equipped to identify and address community issues autonomously. They too have developed a county-wide strategic roadmap to continue driving meaningful change. A New Generation of Peace & Accountability Champions Through these initiatives, Pamoja and GIZ-CPS are proving that when equipped with the right tools and mindset, youth can be powerful agents of transformation. Their work is not only improving service delivery but also strengthening trust between citizens and government institutions. We celebrate the resilience, creativity, and commitment of the youth in Kisumu and Bungoma. Together, they are building safer, more accountable, and inclusive communities — one peaceful action at a time. #YouthLeadChange #NonviolentAdvocacy #PeaceAndAccountability For more information about the RPS Program or how you can support similar initiatives, contact: info@pamoja-transformation.org Pamoja for Transformation Team Siaya County P4T Signs MoU with Bondo Technical Training Institute View Project Siaya and Bungoma Counties We4R: Strengthening Gender-Responsive Land Governance: P4T and GIZ–WE4R Conclude Successful BriGLAW County Engagements in Bungoma and Siaya View Project Nairobi County, Kenya Resilience, Peace & Stability (RPS) Program View Project Kisumu, Kakamega, Vihiga, Siaya, and Bungoma.

< Back Skills for Jobs Location Western, Coast, Central Kenya Location Skills and Enterprise Development Facts Region: Western, Coast, Central Kenya Period: 2018 - 2022 Donors: atDta Foundation, Christian Martin Foundation, Mariano Foundation, Tarom Foundation, associations and individuals Context SMEs have been facing unprecedented income losses and uncertainties about their future because of business disruptions due to the outbreak of COVID-19. Most SMEs do not have financial reserves to meet expenses during emergencies. It also emerged that many Kenyans do not make savings with only 39% of Kenyans have set aside funds to manage emergencies that arise from loss of income. Deepening income inequality and entrenched regional disparities hinder inclusive economic growth. Youth unemployment rate in Kenya avrages at 35%. Poor women and youth lack skills and access to capital and markets to grow a business and create jobs. Project aim Violence-affected and low-skilled women and young people are enabled to grow their existing small businesses, raise their income, build a livelihood for themselves and their families, and create employment opportunities for others. Strategy The project provides women and young people with the business skills, networks, capital and self-confidence they need to run sustainable, income-earning businesses. The project overall objective is improving employment and economic opportunities for marginalized and vulnerable youth in Kisumu, Siaya and Bungoma County. It seeks to achieve this objective through collaboration with both the public and private sectors. The project's specific focus is on providing employability skills and support to access internship and job opportunities for 1,900 vulnerable and marginalized youth. To accomplish this, the project will utilize Basic Skills Training, which will be conducted in seven vocational training centers. By offering vocational/technical skills training, the project aims to equip youth with the necessary skills and competencies required for employment. These skills may include technical skills relevant to specific industries, as well as soft skills like communication, teamwork, problem-solving, and time management. Additionally, the project intends to facilitate access to internship and job opportunities for the trained youth. This could involve establishing partnerships with local businesses, organizations, and employers to create pathways for youth to gain practical experience and secure employment. The project may provide support in terms of job placement services, networking opportunities, and career guidance to help the youth navigate the job market successfully. Through this project, marginalized and vulnerable youth in the three Counties will have improved access to training, skill development, and employment opportunities. By enhancing their employability, the project seeks to empower youth to overcome barriers and achieve economic independence, ultimately contributing to their overall well-being and the socio-economic development of the region. Achievements in 2017 262 women and youth attended trainings and coaching sessions at which they learned about business and financial management, marketing, and communication. 38 small enterprises, farms and production sites received loans for business expansion. 95% business loan repayment rate. 32 stable new full-time jobs were created. 85% of women report more effective financial management within business and at home. Women business owners and employees report increased joint financial decision-making at household level.
