Empowering Mombasa’s Youth to Shape County Governance

Young people should not wait for decisions to be made about their future they should be equipped to **understand, influence, and shape the decisions that affect their lives and communities.

Recently, we participated in a youth engagement session supported by **NAYA Kenya, bringing together young people from across Mombasa County to strengthen their capacity to meaningfully participate in county governance and decision making processes.

The session provided practical learning, advocacy, and dialogue around public planning, budgeting, policy advocacy, accountability, and meaningful public participation.

Through the engagement, young people strengthened their ability to:

🔹 Understand and engage with the **county budget cycle**
🔹 Develop **evidence-based memoranda and advocacy messages**
🔹 Identify and articulate priority **Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights (SRHR)** issues
🔹 Advocate for youth priorities to be reflected in **county plans, policies, and budgets**
🔹 Promote **transparency, accountability, and meaningful citizen participation**

At EPIC, we believe youth participation must go beyond simply occupying seats in public forums. Young people must be informed citizens, confident advocates, policy influencers, and accountability champions.

When young people understand how decisions are made, how public resources are planned and allocated, and where their voices can influence policy, they move from being observers of governance to becoming active architects of their communities’ future.

**Youth participation is not merely about having a seat at the table. It is about having the knowledge to understand the issues, the courage to raise your voice, and the power to influence decisions.**

Because when young people are informed, **communities become stronger, governance becomes more responsive, and democracy becomes more meaningful.**

**The future of Mombasa cannot be shaped without Mombasa’s youth.**

Different Contexts. One Dream. A Generation Ready to Lead.

Yesterday, Epic Youth Organization–Kenya** joined young people, partners, and stakeholders at Tononoka, Mombasa County, to commemorate International Youth Day 2026 a powerful celebration of the potential, creativity, resilience, and leadership of young people.

Through our youth-driven mandate, we remain committed to creating spaces where young people can gain the knowledge, skills, confidence, and opportunities they need to become agents of positive change in their communities.

A highlight of the celebrations was seeing young people supported through the Jitambue Initiative proudly showcase their talents and skills, including weaving and baking. Their creativity captured the attention of guests and participants and demonstrated what is possible when young people are given the right platforms, support, and opportunities.

These practical skills go beyond talent they can open doors to livelihoods, entrepreneurship, independence, and a brighter future, while providing positive alternatives to drug and substance abuse and other risks that can undermine young people's health, wellbeing, and aspirations.

Through peer-to-peer awareness, mentorship, skills development, and continuous engagement, Jitambue empowers young people to make informed decisions, look out for one another, and champion healthier, safer, and more resilient communities.

We also continue to address the risks linked to irresponsible and unprotected sexual practices, which can expose young people to significant health and social challenges. We believe that accurate information, supportive mentorship, and youth-friendly spaces can help young people make choices that protect their health and future.

This year's theme, “Different contexts, common aspirations,” reminds us that while young people may come from different backgrounds, communities, and experiences, their dreams are remarkably similar: to live healthy, safe, dignified, and productive lives and to have the opportunity to shape their own futures.

To every young person who showed up, spoke out, shared a skill, inspired a peer, or dared to dream bigger your voice matters, your talent matters, and your future matters.

We extend our sincere appreciation to all young people, partners, guests, and stakeholders who joined us in making this year's International Youth Day a meaningful celebration of youth-led action, empowerment, skills development, and positive change.

The future is not something we simply wait for. We build it together, one empowered young person at a time.

Epic Youth Organization–Kenya yesterday participated in the Public Participation Forum on the Draft Campaign Financing Regulations, 2026, and the Proposed Campaign Contributions and Spending Limits, held at Tononoka Hall, Mombasa.

The forum brought together key stakeholders to review the proposed regulations and contribute recommendations aimed at strengthening transparency, accountability, equity, and integrity in Kenya's electoral process. During the engagement, our team critically analysed the draft regulations and submitted recommendations to help ensure a more inclusive, transparent, and accountable campaign financing framework.

We commend the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) for providing an open and participatory platform that enables citizens and civil society organisations to meaningfully contribute to electoral policy reforms. Such engagements are essential in fostering public trust and reinforcing democratic governance.

At Epic Youth Organization–Kenya, we remain committed to advancing civic participation, good governance, and electoral accountability because strong democracies are built through informed and active citizen engagement.

**Your voice. Your participation. Our democracy.**

Epic Youth Organization was honoured to participate in the **Movement Building Forum** convened by **The Institute for Social Accountability (TISA Kenya)** in partnership with **Ni Sisi**. The forum brought together civic actors and youth leaders to strengthen citizen-led movements ahead of Kenya's **2027 General Election**, while enhancing public understanding of the national budget, fiscal governance, and public debt.

The engagement underscored that informed and active citizens are the foundation of a vibrant democracy. Participants explored how public budgets shape national development priorities, the implications of public debt on service delivery and economic opportunities, and the critical role citizens play in promoting transparency, accountability, and inclusive governance.

As young leaders, we remain committed to empowering communities with the knowledge, skills, and platforms needed to meaningfully participate in decision-making processes and champion accountable leadership for a more just, equitable, and prosperous Kenya.

Young People at the Heart of Sustainable Development

For two inspiring days,Epic Youth Organization - Kenya proudly joined youth leaders, development practitioners, and partners at the Youth Workshop on SDG Localization and Youth Well-being, convened by the United NationsDepartment of Economic and Social Affairs (UN DESA)in collaboration with its partners.

The workshop was more than a learning experience it was a call to action. It challenged participants to reimagine how the Sustainable Development Goals can be translated into meaningful, community-driven solutions that improve the lives and well-being of young people.

Together, we explored:
1.Localizing the Sustainable Development Goals through youth leadership and community action.
2. Placing youth well-being at the center of sustainable development.
3.Commonwealth Secretariat initiatives that strengthen youth empowerment.
4.Mindful Photography, where personal stories and meaningful objects became powerful tools for reflection, identity, healing, and resilience.
5.Inspiring youth-led innovations creating positive change in local communities.
6.Practical pathways to access funding through the AU–EU Youth Lab and other opportunities for youth-led initiatives.
Building strategic partnerships that can sustain impactful youth action.

As the workshop came to a close, one message stood out: real change begins when young people are trusted, equipped, and empowered to lead.

At Epic Youth Organization - Kenya we reaffirm our commitment to creating opportunities that enable young people to innovate, influence policy, strengthen their communities, and accelerate the achievement of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.

We sincerely thank DESA,the facilitators, partners, and every participant for fostering an environment of learning, collaboration, and inspiration. The conversations may have ended, but the commitment to action continues.

Together, we are turning global goals into local impact because when young people lead, communities thrive.

We recently convened a meaningful forum bringing together young people from across Mombasa County to engage in critical discussions on Harm Reduction and the wellbeing of young men and women. The dialogue underscored the importance of addressing substance use through compassionate, evidence-based approaches that support People Who Use Drugs (PWUDs) while promoting prevention, dignity, and access to essential services.

The forum provided a platform for youth to share experiences, perspectives, and innovative ideas on how communities can better respond to the challenges associated with substance use. Through open dialogue and collaboration, participants explored practical strategies that prioritize health, inclusion, and community resilience.

As young leaders, we remain committed to advancing interventions that reduce harm, empower communities, and create opportunities for healthier and safer futures. By working together, we can build a Mombasa where every young person has the support and resources they need to thrive.

Epic Youth Organisation (EYO) recently took part in two strategic capacity-building trainings organized by the Public Benefit Organizations Regulatory Authority (PBORA), aimed at strengthening awareness and response to terrorist financing risks within Non-Profit Organizations (NPOs).

These sessions offered in-depth guidance on evolving regulatory frameworks, compliance obligations, and practical approaches to identifying, assessing, and mitigating financial risks. Beyond theory, the trainings emphasized real-world scenarios and accountability mechanisms that enable organizations to safeguard their operations against misuse.

Through this engagement, EYO has strengthened its commitment to upholding the highest standards of transparency, integrity, and good governance, while aligning its systems with national and global compliance expectations. The knowledge gained will directly inform our internal controls, financial oversight, and program implementation strategies.

We recently participated in a monitoring and review roundtable for the Y-ARM project, convened by NAYA KenyaNAYA alongside its partners. The session brought together implementing organizations, youth leaders, and development partners to assess progress, explore the project’s impact, and reflect on key lessons emerging from implementation.

The discussions went beyond routine reporting, providing deeper insights into what is working, what needs improvement, and how strategies can better respond to the evolving needs of young people. It also fostered meaningful peer learning, with participants openly sharing experiences, challenges, and innovative practices. These reflections will directly inform how Epic Youth Organization continues to strengthen its advocacy and program delivery.

A key takeaway was the importance of intentional and meaningful youth engagement. Factors such as timing, location, and training design play a critical role in determining inclusivity and participation. Moving beyond passive involvement, the roundtable emphasized creating spaces where young people actively shape decisions, contribute to program design, and participate in evaluating impact ensuring interventions are truly youth-driven, relevant, and sustainable.

We joined fellow youth-led organizations, youth-friendly service providers, and representatives from the Mombasa County Department of Health for a comprehensive dialogue on the status of Youth-Friendly Services (YFS) across Mombasa County.

The engagement brought together diverse stakeholders to critically assess how YFS is currently being delivered. Participants shared firsthand experiences on accessibility, quality of care, inclusivity, and responsiveness of services to the real needs of young people. Key discussions highlighted existing gaps such as limited awareness among youth, inconsistencies in service standards, capacity challenges among providers, and barriers that hinder young people from fully utilizing these services.

Importantly, the session also explored opportunities for improvement, including strengthening coordination between stakeholders, enhancing youth participation in service design, and promoting accountability in service delivery. As a result, a joint and actionable plan was developed, outlining clear steps, roles, and collaborative efforts needed to address the identified challenges and improve the overall effectiveness of YFS in the county.

We extend our sincere appreciation to NAYA Kenya for their continued support in facilitating this important engagement and advancing youth-centered health initiatives.

🗳️ 𝐃𝐄𝐌𝐎𝐂𝐑𝐀𝐂𝐘 𝐈𝐒 𝐌𝐎𝐕𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐀𝐍𝐃 𝐌𝐎𝐌𝐁𝐀𝐒𝐀 𝐈𝐒 𝐑𝐄𝐒𝐏𝐎𝐍𝐃𝐈𝐍𝐆

On April 1st, 2026, Epic Youth Organization stood at the forefront of a defining moment as the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) officially launched the Enhanced Continuous Voter Registration (ECVR) in Mombasa County. The event brought together county leadership, national government representatives, civil society, and citizens united by one purpose: strengthening democracy.

But beyond the ceremony lies the real story:
In just two days since the national rollout, over 4,000 new voters have already been registered compared to 13,000 recorded over a much longer period since last year.

This is the clearest signal yet: when access is brought closer to the people, participation rises.

What made the Mombasa launch especially powerful for Epic:

✅ A visibly inclusive “People with Special Interest” space bringing women, youth, and persons with disabilities to the center, not the margins

✅ Persons with disabilities actively registering mobility aids at the venue reflecting real participation, not symbolism

✅ Strong turnout of women across diverse communities affirming years of advocacy for inclusive electoral processes

✅ Youth stepping forward voluntarily the momentum is alive and growing

✅ Integrated service delivery through the Huduma Mashinani initiative government services reaching people where they are

✅ IEBC’s mobile registration units deployed ward-by-ward taking democracy directly into communities

For years, Epic has championed the message that inclusive voter registration is not a privilege it is a constitutional right. In Mombasa, that principle is being put into action.

To every young person in Mombasa and across Kenya who is yet to register: this is your time.

📅 Registration Period: March 30 – April 28, 2026
🪪 Requirement: Valid National ID
📍 Access Points: County Assembly Wards | Huduma Centres | IEBC Constituency Offices
Register today. Your vote is not just about the futureit shapes your present.
