So we came up with the idea of a youth-sounding board for UNDP in Kenya to ensure that not only do we create a seat at the table for youth but we create an entire table for youth to sit on Hima wadi ngaida kuolowezi wa na ici uliwezi.

The inauguration was at the Kenya School of Government Lua Kabete campus. We had an event today on the inauguration of the UNDP youth sounding board where we had the Chief Assistant Secretary Ministry of ICT, Madam Nadia Abdala. We also had UNDP senior management, Director General Kenya School of Government and also the preselected youth board representative from different sectors in the country, that is the private sector, the NGOs, and also the government of Kenya. CES Nadia Ahmed, who is a coach here in the board, explains more about the project. So we actually leverage and have the opportunity to go through all the programs that UNDP has allocated specifically for young people, then we now advise them on whether or not these are the programs that will work for them, whether or not this is the particular allocation that is efficient enough and enough for the program development projects in the country to be able to help the youth agenda, but also they have aligned themselves with the national youth development policy in order to grow from their programs and to be able to equip young people in Kenya with job opportunities, matters to do with climate change, inclusion of the different gender balances together with just employment in the country. In the inclusivity spirit, Ashura represents persons with disability and being part of this great initiative has renewed a lot of hope. The UNDP is sounding good and the only person representing persons with disabilities. From the experience and background that I come from, many times we get worried that persons with disabilities are left behind. How are we going to achieve the SDGs? So this board will give the solutions to the young people in the sector. We will interact with the young people to give them ideas so that they can create an impact, especially to persons with disabilities. It means as young people we are ready to take over the leadership and change this country to achieve our goals, especially the SDGs. The Kenya Vision 2030, the constitution of Kenya, we are ready to support the government of Kenya to achieve its agenda on the youth. Roya from the National Youth Council envisioned an end where the youth sounding board will be a critical pillar in every agenda. This is a platform where as young people who have been always asking around when is the young people at the decision table. But this is an opportunity for me as a youth of this country, amongst other young people, amongst being of course the youth sounding board being chaired by our cast, Nadia, just to have a session where young people co-create interventions, programs and projects for the young people. So we are going to have a lot of fun, we are going to bring a lot of innovations, we are going to bring a lot of creativity and above all we are going to make sure that the youth sounding board becomes a critical pillar in the UNDP programming agenda. Nadia calls for the youth to be on the lookout for this great opportunity as in line with the great development set out for the country. Then we are supposed to add between six to seven members so we are actually cognizant of the fact that we have to show representation, there should be gender balance of course. So we are really coming up with a structure on how we are going to choose the rest of the board members and what exactly are the code of ethics each and every one of the members who is going to apply will be able to leverage on it. So far the different opportunities we are yet to decide how we are going to disseminate the information so that the young people can apply. This is the first step. So from today we are going to create the different channels that are there and we are going to progress further but the young people should really keep an eye on the different social media pages to find out more about the youth sounding board and how they can apply and whether or not they are qualified to sit on that board. One of the real core things that we want to come off out of this youth sounding board is to just bring together the young people and really highlight the patriotism among the young people in Kenya so that they can see that every program that is done is for them and also so that they can really be patriotic about who they are, where they are and how they can build on it. So matters to do with climate change it's an important factor the president himself is really really inclined to making sure that everyone plants a tree every day if they can so that we can green our country and be able to plant 2.2 billion trees by 2022.
