The recent financing agreement between the World Bank group, and the National Treasury with the inclusion of the Kenya Private Sector Alliance, under the auspices of the Kenya youth employment and opportunities project is a step in the right direction.
The agreement, if implemented well, will go a long way to transform the lives of many disenfranchised youth in the country .Statistics on youth unemployment in Kenya paint a grim picture of a country which has skilled manpower yet the economy cannot absorb these groups of people into gainful employment.
