The European Youth Card Association (EYCA) has 40 member organizations in 38 countries. All are committed to promoting youth mobility and active citizenship for young people. EYCA member organizations believe that the young people they work with are not citizens of the future, they are citizens of Europe today and, as such, should be fully involved in decisions and developments that affect them. Member organizations develop and promote participation opportunities for young people – opportunities that give young people the chance to influence their communities, organizations at local and national levels, and what happens in society at large.

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. To encourage more civic engagement by younger citizens, the government is taking measures through the World Bank's Kenya Accountable Devolution Program (KADP) to incorporate public participatory budgeting into their budget decision-making process. The 2007 general elections highlighted Kenya's failure to engage its youth constituency effectively in political, governance, and electoral processes. Building trust between young people and democratic institutions is critical as young people make up a substantive part of the overall Kenyan population.
