Honoured to grace the Annual National Conference of Economists (ANCE) 2026, hosted by the Economics Society of Kenya, as a Guest Speaker to reflect on the Role of Youth in Shaping Kenya Beyond Vision 2030.
As Kenya looks towards 2060, the Government is focused on placing young people at the centre of economic transformation by equipping them with relevant skills, expanding productive opportunities, advancing innovation and technology, and unlocking the potential of the creative economy.
Young people must be empowered not only to seek employment, but also to create enterprises, innovate, participate in value chains and create opportunities for others.
The Kenya we envision for 2060 will be shaped by the investments we make in our young people today. It will require partnerships that bring together the experience of those who have come before us with the energy, creativity and ambition of our younger generation.
