Commitment title:

TIME TO ACTION.

Commitment description:

Policy formulation is a process the consumes a lot of finances, time and very tiresome. So many policies have been developed both at the national and County government that are responding to adolescent and young people needs. Sadly these documents ends up in the shelves of the government offices nothing is being done after development of these document/policies. Its high time we start implementing these policies for us to achieve our goals. And it is through advocating for this when every stakeholder will align their work in response to specific policies.

Modes of engagement:
  • Policy and guidance
    Advocating for policy reviews and reforms that are responsive to adolescents and young people needs through engaging both national, county governments and all stakeholders.
  • Programmatic action
    Advocating for the implementation of policy documents responding to adolescent and young people needs by the county governments and all stakeholders.
