Organized under the Strengthening Food Systems to Promote Increased Value Chain Employment Opportunities for Youth project, the conference aims to foster knowledge exchange and dialogue on expanding innovative, digitally enabled, dignified, and fulfilling livelihood opportunities for young people, particularly young women, across Kenya’s agrifood systems.
The conference will bring together stakeholders from government, research institutions, development organizations, the private sector, civil society, and youth networks to share research findings, explore innovative solutions, address barriers to youth employment, and identify practical opportunities for strengthening young people’s participation in agrifood value chains.
