The Kenya Informal Settlements Improvement Project (KISIP), in collaboration with Pamoja Trust, has reaffirmed its commitment to youth empowerment and employment creation through the development and review of Community Development Plans (CDPs) for Mwanzo and Kipkaren informal settlements in Eldoret City, Uasin Gishu County.
Hosted by County Executive Committee Member (CECM) for Lands, Physical Planning, Housing and Community Development Edward Sawe, the session brought together stakeholders to assess the 10-year, community-driven CDPs that are poised to transform informal settlements into hubs of opportunity and inclusive growth.
At the heart of the reviewed plans is a strong focus on youth employment.
KISIP, through its Component 2 led by Zenah Kirui, integrated a robust skills development strategy that will see youth trained in trades such as masonry, plumbing, electrical work and carpentry.
