Justifying Meaningful Engagement And Inclusion Of Young People In Political Processes.

More transparency, better accountability, and greater responsiveness to the youth demographic are elements young Kenyans yearn for. The Kenyan government is beginning to respond to these demands.

Building trust between young people and democratic institutions is critical as young people make up a substantive part of the overall Kenyan population.
