  • Skills for Jobs | Pamoja English

    < 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.

  • The Launch of Renewable Energy Mentorship Club at TUM to Empower Women in the Green Economy | Pamoja English

    < Back The Launch of Renewable Energy Mentorship Club at TUM to Empower Women in the Green Economy Location Mombasa County Location Skills & Enterprise Development Mombasa, Kenya – In a groundbreaking initiative aimed at bridging the gender gap in the renewable energy sector, Technical University of Mombasa (TUM) in partnership with GIZ, WTS Foundation and P4T has launched the TUM-Renewable Energy Mentorship Club, anchored under the Directorate of TUM TVET. The program is supported by GIZ -Employment promotion for women for the green transformation in Africa (WE4D), an initiative focused on advancing women’s participation in renewable energy and sustainable development. The mentorship club seeks to inspire, guide, and empower students and graduates pursuing careers in renewable energy fields such as solar energy, e-mobility, green hydrogen energy, and bio energy technologies. With the renewable energy sector traditionally dominated by men, this initiative aims to create pathways for women to not only enter but thrive in the industry. Empowering Women in a Male-Dominated Field Despite the growing demand for skilled professionals in renewable energy, women remain underrepresented in the field. According to studies, women account for less than 30% of the global renewable energy workforce, with even fewer occupying leadership roles. The TUM-Renewable Energy Mentorship Club addresses this imbalance by providing tailored support to female students and graduates. Key objectives of the mentorship program include: 🔹 Career Guidance and Industry Exposure: The club will connect students with experienced mentors from the renewable energy sector. These mentors will provide guidance on navigating career challenges, securing internships, attachments, and employment opportunities, and overcoming gender biases in the workplace. 🔹 Building Resilience Against Gender Biases: Participants will receive training on how to cope with biases and stereotypes prevalent in male-dominated industries. Workshops on confidence-building, negotiation skills, and networking will equip women with tools to succeed professionally. 🔹 Hands-On Practical Experience: Through partnerships with industry leaders and organizations like GIZ WE4D, the club will offer practical, hands-on experience in cutting-edge renewable energy technologies. This includes exposure to solar panel installations, hydrogen fuel cell innovations, and biogas production systems. 🔹 Proposal Writing and Grant Submission Support: To foster innovation and research, the club will assist members in developing proposals for funding and grants. This will enable students and graduates to pursue further research in areas such as hydrogen energy, bioenergy, and other emerging renewable technologies. A Platform for Women-Led Innovation Speaking at the launch event, the Executive Director at P4T highlighted the transformative potential of the mentorship club. "This initiative is designed to bring practical, hands-on experience to youth and women and encourage them to join the renewable energy sector," he said. "By supporting women in this field, we are not only promoting gender equality but also driving innovation and sustainability." The club's activities will focus on creating an inclusive environment where women can confidently explore careers in renewable energy. By encouraging more women to enroll in courses related to solar energy, e-mobility, hydrogen energy, and biogas technologies, the program aims to reshape the narrative around women's roles in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) fields.

Location Kisumu County Location Climate Resilience and Skills and Enterprise Development Kisumu County, Kenya – In a step toward fostering resilience, promoting peace, and creating sustainable livelihoods, Pamoja for Transformation , under the Resilience Peace and Stability (RPS) Program , recently hosted a transformative three-day training on Entrepreneurship and Climate Security . The event, funded by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Denmark in Kenya through Act Change Transform, brought together women and youth-led enterprises in Kisumu County to address climate change risks, unlock green opportunities, and promote peaceful coexistence. Training Highlights: Building Skills for a Sustainable Future The training aimed to equip participants with practical skills and knowledge to manage and adapt to the growing challenges posed by climate change. Key focus areas included: 🔹 Entrepreneurship Development: Participants learned how to establish and sustain environmentally friendly businesses that align with global green economy trends. From renewable energy ventures to waste management solutions, the training highlighted innovative ways to turn climate challenges into economic opportunities. 🔹 Climate Risk Management: Through interactive sessions, attendees gained insights into identifying and mitigating climate-induced vulnerabilities. This knowledge is crucial for building resilient communities that can withstand environmental shocks and stresses. 🔹 Green Opportunities for Youth: A dedicated Youth Sensitization Forum explored emerging green opportunities in sectors such as solar energy, e-mobility, biogas, and sustainable agriculture. The forum inspired young people to pursue careers and entrepreneurship in these fields while contributing to climate action. Addressing Climate-Induced Conflicts Kisumu County, like many regions in Kenya, faces challenges related to climate-induced conflicts over resources such as water, arable land, and pasture. These tensions often exacerbate social instability and contribute to violent behavior among youth. By addressing the root causes of these conflicts, the training sought to reduce the pull and push factors that drive young people toward violence. Through dialogue and capacity-building, participants were encouraged to adopt non-violent approaches to resolving disputes and advocate for equitable resource distribution within their communities. Creating Employment Opportunities for Youth One of the program’s primary goals is to create meaningful employment opportunities for youth in Kisumu County. By integrating entrepreneurship with climate action, the initiative empowers young people to become job creators rather than job seekers. Participants left the training equipped with actionable ideas to launch or scale their businesses, contributing to both economic growth and environmental sustainability. Why This Matters Climate change is not just an environmental issue, it is a social, economic, and security challenge. By targeting women and youth, who are disproportionately affected by climate risks, this initiative ensures that no one is left behind in the transition to a greener future. Moreover, empowering women and youth is key to achieving lasting peace and stability in Kisumu County.

  • Enhancing Youth and Women Access to Land for Sustainable Economic Development in Western Kenya | Pamoja English

    < Back Enhancing Youth and Women Access to Land for Sustainable Economic Development in Western Kenya Location Kakamega County Location Peace and Governance and Climate Resilience Empowering Youth and Women: P4T and GFA Conduct Land Access Training Workshop for Community Change Agents and Farmers Service Centers Bukura, Kenya - In a significant step toward boosting agricultural development and empowering marginalized groups, P4T, in collaboration with GFA under the Agri-Jobs for Youth initiative, successfully conducted an awareness and sensitization training workshop at Bukura Agricultural Training Center (ATC). The one-day awareness and sensitization session brought together Community Change Agents (CCAs) and Farmers Service Centers (FSCs) from the five project counties: Kisumu, Kakamega, Siaya, Vihiga, and Bungoma. The workshop focused on strengthening the capacity of CCAs and FSCs with the necessary skills and knowledge to effectively facilitate community sensitization and awareness forums on land access. The primary focus of these forums will be to address the challenges faced by youth and women in accessing land for agricultural activities, ultimately aiming to increase their participation and productivity in the sector. This training is a vital precursor to the intergenerational dialogues already initiated by the project team. By empowering local community agents with information and sensitization techniques, P4T and GFA are fostering a grassroots movement to address land access issues. The expectation is that well-informed CCAs and FSCs will be instrumental in creating awareness and paving the way for constructive dialogues that can lead to tangible improvements in land access for young people and women in the region. This initiative emphasizes the commitment of P4T and GFA to not only create job opportunities in agriculture for the youth but also to address the fundamental issue of land access, which is often a significant barrier to entry and success in the agricultural sector, particularly for women and youths. The impact of this training is expected to foster greater equity and increased agricultural output across the five counties.
