Certainly, the social and economic returns of investing in the youth are vast. The 2007/08 election demonstrated that young people provide fodder for election violence and widespread property destruction. Yet the explosion of youth violence is fed by many other socio-economic factors that have remained unsolved since the 90s. Kenya must address health challenges that make it difficult for young people (especially women) to attain their full potential. The Government must address the economic challenges currently facing young people ranging from unemployment to skewed allocation of resources and business opportunities.
