    "content": "long-term intervention to succeed the KKV I programme. According to them and I quote:- “KKVI made progress in employment creation with actual employment achieving 112 per cent of the planned target. Initial plans targeted a total of 232,911 youths. But by mid September, 2009, a total of 296,080 youths had been employed under the KKV Programme” This was achieved under tight budgetary constraints which occasioned delays in the disbursement of funds. The outcome is the Kenya Youth Empowerment Project Two or KKV11. KKV II unlike KKV I had been designed over a longer period. KKV II is anchored on both Government of Kenya procedures and those of the World Bank. It has a much stronger governance structure. Its scope is wider and incorporates long-term objectives. The project has three components namely: Labour intensive works, and social services to be funded at a cost of US$43 million, being implemented directly by line Ministries, private sector internships and training to be funded to the tune of US$15.5 million being implemented by the Kenya Private Sector Alliance (KEPSA) and capacity building and policy development being funded to the tune of US$1.5 million being implemented by the Ministry of Youth Affairs and Sports. The Office of the Prime Minister provides co-ordination, oversight, monitoring and evaluation services to the project. A total of 1,200 labour intensive projects will be implemented under KKV II at the district level. The project will employ 190,000 youths within the age bracket of 18 to 35, 40,000 of whom will be full time. The activities will include water and soil conservation, afforestation, road maintenance, irrigation projects and urban areas cleaning. The districts with highest rates of unemployment, and those facing drought and hunger challenges will receive priority."
