Meru County on Wednesday launched the County Implementation Committee for climate resilience service program (CRSP), popularly known as 'Kazi Mtaani', which is set to benefit 1,660 youth and 56 supervisors.

Speaking during the launching exercise at the County Commissioner's boardroom, Meru County Commissioner Jacob Ouma said the programme will target vulnerable youth with the aim of uplifting their livelihoods.

It will run in all the 15 sub-counties, he added.

The CRSP programme is an employment transition programme for youth aimed at fostering climate resilience and economic recovery by addressing critical needs across the roads and infrastructure, environment, housing and urban development sectors.
