Kenya’s youth, hailed as the nation’s greatest asset, are full of energy, ambition, and boundless potential.
Musalia Mudavadi, Cabinet Secretary for Foreign Affairs, said unlocking this potential requires expanded access to quality education, sustainable job creation, and investment opportunities that enable young Kenyans to innovate and drive the country’s future growth.
In a meeting with Ms. Nomagugu Ncube, the newly appointed Chief of Mission for the International Organization for Migration (IOM), government officials discussed the rising pace of cross-border movement among Kenyan youth seeking jobs, skills, and new opportunities abroad.
The discussions also highlighted the challenges faced by Kenyans overseas, including fake job offers, human trafficking, and mistreatment of workers, prompting many to seek government assistance.
Officials emphasised the importance of closer collaboration with IOM to raise public awareness on safe labour migration, strengthen protection mechanisms, and ensure support for Kenyans encountering difficulties abroad.
IOM, a key global partner, continues to work with governments worldwide to promote safe, orderly, and humane migration, providing practical solutions, strengthening migration management, and offering humanitarian support to vulnerable populations.
