A First Step Toward Youth Public Participation 

The team conducted a survey involving 120 young people from across the sub-county, which gauged the level and accessibility of information related to public participation, and the challenges related to youth engagement.

The research found that 51% of youth respondents did not feel their opinions mattered to in county-level policymaking and 70% could not accurately identify the political functions of the Mombasa County government post-Devolution.

In the resulting report the team recommended improving civic education programmes available to young people.

As such, the team led three workshops involving a total of 60 young people from across the sub-county which resulted in a 100% increase in knowledge among participants of public participation processes.
