Through the Agri -Biz Awards initiative, Pamoja envisions a world in which women, youth and marginalized communities are included in agriculture, and become key to: ensuring equity; increasing participation in agribusiness and reducing youth unemployment;
promoting livelihood improvement; increasing production; and reducing the impacts of climate change.
By engaging in climate smart agriculture, Kenya is likely to open opportunities for employment of women and youth. Pamoja sees the involvement of youth and women as a game changer in tackling the unemployment crisis.
