Kenya Youth Employment Opportunities (KYEOP)
The Government of Kenya, in partnership with the World Bank, is implementing the Kenya Youth Employment and Opportunities Project (KYEOP) 2016 – 2021. The project development objective of KYEOP is to increase employment and earning opportunities among targeted young people across Kenya. The project aims to reach over 280,000 youth during the project period.
The main beneficiaries of the proposed project will be youth between 18-29 years of age (with some component extending up to 35years) who are jobless and have experienced extended spells of unemployment or who are currently working in vulnerable jobs. The level of education of targeted beneficiaries will be up to Form 4.
The project will reach youth within selected counties in urban and rural areas.
The project has four distinct components, which are inter-linked and aim to reach youth directly and indirectly.
Component 1: Improving youth employability;
Component 2: Support for job creation;
Component 3: Labour Market Information System (LMIS)
Component 4: Strengthening youth policy development and project management
