| dc.description | The
report is based on interviews with Kenya National Youth
Servicemen and Officers, Kenya Voluntary Development Association
Volunteers and officials and representatives of International Student
Movement for the United Nations (ISWTJN) from Sweden, Ghana, Nigeria,
Tunisia, Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda and Libya.
The central issue in this report is the question of the relevancy
of the conventional youth programmes in Kenya and the question as to the
degree of alien imported values, goals and aspirations being imparted
to Kenya Youth by the International Voluntary Services (e.g. VSO,
Peace Corps etc.) and the Kenyan foreign financed Voluntary Organisations.
The study shows that Kenyan youth programmes are not consistently
evaluated against our developmental realities or aspirations and
suggests that a massive re-orientation for most of our vouth organisations
is long over-due. This, it is suggested, could be done through dynamic
leadership training and incentives system to attract local leaders,
the development of a national level youth policy from which each
youth organisation will derive its programmes and a re-orientation
of youth activities to projects which make useful contribution to
our developmental programmes, especially in the rural areas. | |
