In collaboration with International Republican Institute, The Youth Café is working to have the drafted Kenya Youth Manifesto 2022 validated by a selected youth jury. The legitimacy of the youth jury process and the validity of its recommendations is critically contingent upon the extent to which youth jurors are representative of the broader community, as the purpose of the youth jury is to discuss issues of cultural diversity from the perspective of young people. The salient demographic features are the applicants' lineage, educational background, gender, and socio-economic status.

We at The Youth Café wish to invite you for a virtual workshop on Tuesday, April 12th, 2022, between 10:00 am - 11:30 am EAT, where the discussions will dwell on the research results and begin discussions on further investigations. The webinar will cover; the key takeaways from the experimental findings, recommendations on how to identify mis- and disinformation and curb its spread, and a feedback session highlighting areas for further analysis.

On February 19, 2022, The Youth Café is planning an event to address the informal housing challenge. The key partners in the event include; The Aga Khan University, University of the Fraser Valley, Innovative Governance of Large Urban Systems, UN-Habitat -Youth Café-Urban Economic Forum, and other private sector and community partners who focus on the informal youth housing challenge and its impact on young people.

The Youth Cafe is planning a design activity that aims to gather input from key local stakeholders to inform the program design of Youth Excel – a U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) funded project, implemented by IREX, The Youth Cafe, and consortium partners. The project aims to empower young people and youth organizations to drive local development by using implementation research—a type of research that focuses on collecting data during a program to improve the program in real-time—to strengthen local, national, and global development solutions.
