The Reshaping Kenyan Agriculture for Dignified Youth Livelihoods Program supports young people to build profitable and sustainable careers in agriculture. It addresses the challenge of limited access to skills, finance, and markets that can prevent young people from succeeding in the agricultural sector. The program provides training, access to finance, farm inputs, and market opportunities to help young people grow successful agricultural enterprises. Participants also
gain opportunities in micro-entrepreneurship, helping them increase their income and build sustainable livelihoods through commercial agriculture.
