    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, private sector internships and training will improve youth employability by providing work experience and skills training. It will target 16,000 youth in the 15 – 29 age bracket. This component will be initiated in Nairobi and Mombasa before being extended to rural areas. The project aims to have at least 50 per cent of the youth who complete internships to be immediately employed by the internship employer, other employers or start a business. The third component will deal with developing the capacity of the Ministry of Youth Affairs and Sports, to articulate youth policy options and its capacity for planning and executing youth projects. This will involve training of youth officers at the grassroots levels, supporting National Youth Council and increasing youth awareness on various projects and opportunities. A project co-ordination unit within the Office of the Prime Minister will take responsibility for the project’s overall co-ordination, oversight and monitoring and evaluation. The Kenya private sector will be responsible for the internship component. The Ministry of Youth Affairs and Sports will be responsible for third component. Each component will operate independently to avoid delays. To address sustainability concerns, the Government will continue to use the budgetary process to mainstream the KKV projects within Ministries. The World Bank estimates that the cost of creating a job per person per year in Kenya under the KKV Programme stands at US$1,500."
