Synopsis (short abstract) The SW4SW is a Joint Initiative of the Collaborative Partnership on Forests launched at the UNFF in New York in May this year. This Initiative emerged as an outcome of the Global Meeting with the same title, held at FAO Headquarters in 2017. The initiative is jointly led by FAO (with support from the Advisory Committee on Sustainable Forest-based Industries (ACSFI)), the Center for International Forestry Research (CIFOR), the International Tropical Timber Organization (ITTO), the World Bank (WB) and the World Wildlife Fund (WWF). A high-level meeting will be held on Friday, 20 July, 2018 (10 am to 11.30 am) in FAO, Rome on this Initiative, as part of 6th World Forest Week. This leaflet will convey the programme of this high-level event.

    Rural youth employment and agri-food systems in Kenya

    This context analysis provides an overview of Kenya, describing youth employment challenges, policies and programmes in place as well as FAO’s priorities on decent rural youth employment. Finally, it also analyses the country’s migration trends and dynamics. Almost 88 percent of the world’s 1.2 billion youth live in developing countries. Globally, young people account for approximately 24 percent of the working poor. Although the world’s youth population is expected to grow, employment and entrepreneurial opportunities for young women and men remain limited – particularly for those living in economically stagnant rural areas of developing countries. Hence, creating more productive and beneficial jobs for the rural youth is particularly urgent. The FAO Integrated Country Approach (ICA) for boosting decent jobs for youth in the agri-food system project, currently implemented in Senegal, Uganda, Rwanda, Kenya and Guatemala, aims to address this challenge by creating more and better employment opportunities for youth in rural areas and agri-food systems. To do so, ICA combines different interventions, such as capacity development, institutional support, knowledge generation and partnership creation.
