The Youth Cafe (TYC), in partnership with the Kenya Leadership Integrity Forum (KLIF), today led the national commemoration of the 9th Edition of the African Anti-Corruption Day at the Kenyatta International Convention Centre (KICC). The event brought together stakeholders from across the public, private, and civil society sectors to raise awareness on the fight against corruption under the theme: “Promoting Human Dignity in the Fight Against Corruption.”
The Youth Café Empowers Youth Through Participatory Budgeting To Enhance Accountability And Transparency
The Youth Café (TYC) is a trailblazer in youth empowerment in Kenya, utilizing Participatory Budgeting (PB) to drive accountability, transparency, and good governance. Through its innovative PB approach, TYC has successfully mobilized over 76,000 young people across 12 counties, empowering them to take part in crucial budgetary decisions. With a staggering $3 million USD allocated through this process, TYC has set a new standard for how public resources can be managed effectively and ethically when young people are at the helm. This initiative not only empowers youth to influence public resource allocation but also transforms them into vigilant custodians of government accountability, ensuring public funds are directed toward community-driven solutions.
