Primary baseKibera, Nairobi
ApproachCommunity learning, evidence and accountable action
Young people are frequently discussed as a risk group or beneficiary while decisions are made without them. Participation requires information, a safe place to disagree and practical ways to influence what happens next.
What the existing record shows
The public record includes school citizenship debates, a youth crime-prevention forum, community discussions and radio conversations. K-HAKI’s wider planning also identifies organisational and financial-accountability learning as important for youth-led groups.

Learning and accountability
How we will avoid shallow reporting.
Success should include who shaped the agenda, what young people understood, what they did afterwards and whether institutions responded—not attendance alone.
