Civic Engagement Alliance
AYT, in collaboration with ICCO Cooperation and Edukans, implemented a 5-year project (2016-2020) in Kenya called Civic Engagement Alliance. The project was funded by the Netherlands Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The main objective of Civic Engagement Alliance was to enhance the capacity of Civil Society in addressing inequality and injustice, creating favorable conditions for just, economic, social, and political development, particularly for vulnerable groups such as Women, Youth, and people with Disabilities. Additionally, the project aimed to empower young people to adopt climate-smart approaches to agriculture and proactive conservation, thereby improving their livelihoods.
