    Rural youth employment and agri-food systems in Kenya
    A rapid context analysis
    2019

    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.

    Las ferias de la agricultura familiar son espacios alternativos de comecialización que contribuyen a superar las brechas en el acceso de la agricultura familiar a los mercados, así como a diversificar las oportunidades de inclusión económica y revalorización de la producción campesina. Además, estas ferias facilitan el acceso a alimentos de calidad a todos los habitantes, promoviendo la comercialización directa desde el agricultor familiar hasta el consumidor final. Este documento ha sido creado como un instrumento para apoyar la organización de ferias de la agricultura familiar, con base en la experiencia piloto implementada en Panamá en el marco del programa Mesoamérica sin Hambre AMEXCID-FAO y en estrecha coordinación con el Comité Nacional de Diálogo de la Agricultura Familiar de Panamá.
