"content": " Hon. Speaker, pursuant to the provisions of Standing Order 44(2)(c), I rise to request a Statement from the Chairman of the Departmental Committee on Social Protection regarding the role of Government in promoting labour mobility among the youth through the Youth Enterprise Development Fund. The Youth Enterprise Development Fund operates under the Ministry of Youth Affairs, Creative Economy and Sports. It was established to advance the Government's commitment to job creation, innovation and sustainable development among Kenya's growing youth population. It targets individuals aged 18 to 35 years, who constitute approximately 25 million people. The Fund provides financial assistance, capacity-building programmes, and market linkages to empower young entrepreneurs to establish and expand their businesses. The Fund seeks to enhance employment opportunities and drive economic empowerment by offering The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."

"content": "affordable loans and entrepreneurial support, thereby contributing to national growth and poverty reduction. Despite various government interventions, youth unemployment in Kenya continues to rise, posing a major socio-economic challenge. While the Fund plays a crucial role in mitigating unemployment by supporting young entrepreneurs, the available resources remain insufficient to meet the high demand, limiting its overall effectiveness in addressing this crisis. Addressing these funding gaps and expanding access to financial support is essential for maximising the Fund's impact and fostering sustainable economic opportunities for the youth. It is against this background that I rise to seek a Statement from the Chairman of the Departmental Committee on Social Protection on the following: 1. A detailed report on the total budgetary allocation for the Youth Enterprise Development Fund since its inception. 2. The current status of labour mobility among the youth and the actual number of beneficiaries who have accessed support through the Fund. 3. A report on the sensitisation programmes, if any, undertaken or planned to be undertaken to enlighten the youth and the general population on the significance of the Fund. 4. The key challenges that have hindered the effective implementation of the programme since it was launched and steps taken to address the challenges. I thank you, Hon. Speaker."
