About the Youth Employment Initiative of Nairobi

The Youth Employment Initiative of Nairobi is a 3-year project that aims at encouraging and strengthening networks and cooperation between youth organisations and relevant stakeholders at the labour market, in the delivery of youth employment creation services in Nairobi.

It also seeks to increase knowledge and skills of young people on employment possibilities/entrepreneurship and supporting the youth in entering the labour market, through capacity building of youth, youth organisations and development of training and networking models within Nairobi area.

The primary target group is the job seeking youth of Nairobi (focus segment aged 18-35 years) whilst the secondary target group is stakeholders at the labour market- mainly government, trade unions, employers’ organizations, trade organizations, youth organizations and employers.

The project acknowledges that within the youth segment outlined (ages 18-35) differences remain, thus training modules and/or delivery models of the curriculum may need to vary to address these differences.

Youth organizations and labour market stakeholders will actively be involved in and influence the project through participation in networks. Activities like informational meetings and trainings are expected to continue under the stewardship of youth organizations and the OSYIRC even after the end of the project.
