President William Ruto announced on Thursday that the government aims to enlist over 200,000 young people nationwide into the environment sustainability programme.
The announcement was made during the launch of the Nairobi River Regeneration project in Nairobi.
The president outlined that the initial phase would focus on hiring approximately 20,000 youths from Nairobi under the Climate WorX Mtaani Initiative.
Following this, the initiative would be rolled out to other counties. Enrollment for youths in Nairobi is scheduled to begin on October 1, and they are encouraged to seize the opportunity by applying for the available positions.
Expansion to Other Counties
In addition to Nairobi, President Ruto shared that Nakuru, Kisumu, Mombasa, and Uasin Gishu counties would be among the first to benefit from this initiative.
He emphasized that after the first month, the programme would be extended to all other counties, aiming to involve around 200,000 youths in environmental conservation efforts.
President Ruto highlighted that the initiative aligns with the government’s Bottom-up Economic Transformation policy, which aims to provide employment opportunities while addressing environmental concerns.
