The World Bank has outlined why it chose to support Kenya through the National Youth Opportunities Towards Advancement (NYOTA) programme, describing youth unemployment as one of the country’s most pressing development challenges. Speaking during the launch of the initiative in Malindi, Kilifi County, World Bank Country Director for Kenya Qimiao Fan said NYOTA directly responds to Kenya’s high unemployment levels, particularly among young people. “NYOTA is important because it addresses what I believe is the biggest development challenge Kenya faces today – jobs. This is why we, as the World Bank, decided to support it,” Fan said. World Bank says The post World Bank Reveals Why It Pumped Ksh29.5 Billion Into Kenya’s NYOTA Plan appeared first on Nairobi Wire.
