Yesterday, Likoni Ability Network (LAN) participated in a youth engagement forum supported by NAYA Kenya under the Y-ARM Project, bringing together young people from all six sub-counties of Mombasa County.
The forum strengthened young people’s understanding of county governance, planning, budgeting and meaningful public participation. Through practical learning, advocacy and dialogue with county officials, participants gained skills to navigate the county budget cycle, develop evidence-based memoranda, identify key SRHR priorities and advocate for their inclusion in county plans and budgets.
The goal is simple: to move young people from merely attending public participation forums to becoming informed contributors, effective advocates and accountability champions.
LAN remains committed to promoting meaningful participation and inclusion of young people, including youth with disabilities, in county decision-making processes.
