NAIROBI Youth Friendly City Guide
Many Thanks
Get Involved!
Thank you to all the youth who shared their insights and showed us their assets through this project. I would like to thank Caroline Walusaga, Evan Mwavu Kana, Anma Wangari Gaitana, Safula Abdi, and Esther Mbithe from the Nairobi One Stop Centre for all of their hard work and dedication. Likewise, Angela Tatua from AlTa’awon Youth Centre, Ben Ochieng from the Mathare Talent Organization and David Waithaka and Boniface ’Hawi’ Rapudo from the Moonbeam Training Centre, dedicated many hours to this project and provided exemplary guidance and support to the youth within their organizations. Finally, thank you to Doug Ragan from the University of Colorado’s Children, Youth and Environments Centre, Melanda Schmid and Jane Bisanju from the Environmental Youth Alliance in Nairobi, Nola Kate Seymoar and Jane McRae from the International Centre for Sustainable Cities and UN HABITAT’s Global Partnership Initiative for Urban Youth Development.
The youth in all four areas of the Central Business District, Korogocho, Mathare 4 and Mavoko identified elements of youth culture that were strengths to Nairobi, as well as opportunities to address some of their concerns. They also had plenty of ideas on how to address these concerns. Here are some ideas they came up with:

Youth Asset Mapping, Nairobi Between September and December 2009, UN HABITAT and the International Center for Sustainable Cities teamed up with approximately 40 youth through workshops, meetings and field work to produce the Nairobi Youth Friendly City Guide. This booklet identifies and discusses youth services for 4 different areas in Nairobi; it is designed as a reference guide, and an expression of youth opinions on youth services within Nairobi. For more information on this project, visit the One Stop Youth Center, at the junction of Racecourse Road and Haile Selassie, Nairobi .
“Some times there is low cooperation and involvement amongst youth, and youth don’t seem to take initiative on their own.” –Jafary Kunambi, Mabibo Ward
What can youth do to be more engaged themselves? • Be confident and self-aware. • Educate yourself on issues that matter to you: check out your ward executive office for sources of information! • Share your ideas with others: that includes both youth and adults. • Visit your local government and municipal government offices. • Come prepared to meetings where youth have a chance to be heard. • Take initiative: use the resources that are available to you, and look for more services or assets!
“We want to get involved in decision making processes in the local government.” –Stanclaus Kyando, Kitunda Ward What can communities and community members do to support youth? • Involve youth in decision making processes: • Communicate when and where important community meetings (including political meetings) are being held. Try communicating through some of the youth services in this guide. • Make sure government offices and meetings are youth friendly; ask yourself: would you feel welcome in these places if you were a youth? • Provide youth with opportunities speak, listen to what they are saying, and integrate these ideas into planning processes.

“Wakati mwingine kuna upungufu katika kushirikiana na kushirikishwa miongoni mwa vijana, na vijana hawaonekani kua nzisha mambo yao.” –Jafari Kunambi, Kata ya Mabibo Nijinsi gani vijana wanaweza kujihusisha zaidi na mambo yao? • Kujitambua na kujiamini. • Jielimishe juu ya mambo yanayo kuhusu. • Tembelea ofisi ya Afisa metandaji kata kwa kupata vyanzo vya Taarifa. • Badilishana mawazo na wengine, kati ya vijana na watu wazima. • Tembelea ofisi yako ya serikali ya mtaa na ofisi za manispaa. • Fika ukiwa umejiandaa kwenye mikutano ambayo vijana husikilizwa. • Kuwa na mkati wa kutumia vyanzo ambavyo vinapatikana kwako na angalia huduma au amali zaidi! “Tunataka tushirikishwe katika hatua za kufanya maamuzi katika serikali za mitaa.” -Stanclaus Kyando, Kata ya Kitunda Ni jinsi gani jamii na wanajamii wanavyoweza kuwa saidia vijana? • Kuwashirikisha vijana katika kupanga maamuzi. • Kuwataarifu mahali na wakati mikutano muhimu inapofanyika (ikiwemo mikutano ya kisiasa). • Jaribu kuwataarifu baadhi ya huduma za vijana kupitia muongozo huu. • Hakikisha ofisi za serikali na vikao ni rafiki kwa vijana. Jiulizemwenyewe: Unajisikiaje unapokaribishwa sehemu hizi ukiwa wewe ni kijana? • Wape vijana nafasi ya kuzungumza, kuwasikiliza nini wanachosema na uchukue mawazo haya kuwa maandalizi ya mipango. 36

Introduction Youth are an integral and large part of the population of Nairobi. They make up nearly 50% of the 3.1 million inhabitants of the city. When youth are engaged with their communities, in NGOs, as peer educators, and in income generating groups, they are contributing to a more sustainable and a safer city. These youth are less likely to commit crimes and remain idle. This Youth City Guide is a jumping-off point for identifying and developing services which are tailored to youth needs. Based on discussion in workshops, meetings, and during field work, the youth involved in this project identified key issues where youth search out support and information. These youth in Nairobi are most concerned about: -access to basic and post-secondary education -formal skill development (vocational training) -access to information -employment and income generation -access to health services -personal safety and protection from crime “Youth-Friendly services are places or services where youth are able to get service for their problems in a friendly and timely manner, independently (without accompaniment), without fear or conditionality and with confidentiality. They are ideally services where peers are the service providers and where youth participate in the decision making of how services are provided and exactly which services are provided.” - Collaborative definition created by youth in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania

The Nairobi Youth City Guide contains locations and information on places the youth of four areas of Nairobi have identified as ‘Youth Friendly,’ along with ways youth and communities can address barriers to youth service provision. Take a look inside! You’ll see that throughout Dar es Salaam, youth have identified services in Education, Employment, Finances, Water Selling Points, Access to Information, Recreation, and Spirituality that either address the issues they are concerned about or have the potential to address these issues. Take a look to see where you can get involved, and what’s in your city for youth! As a youth or an adult, can you help develop some of these assets and services to meet the needs of youth? 4

The Moonbeam Training Centre for Youth was founded after UN Secretary General Ban Ki Moon visited the Nairobi slum of Kibera and pledged to do something to help. The Moonbeam training centre has been located in Mavoko on the outskirts of Nairobi on land purchase by UN-HABITAT. Youth from Kibera and other slums have been training in brick making and housing construction. They have been responsible for building the training centre and will begin construction on lowincome housing cooperatives in Mavoko. Youth participants were trained in asset mapping in October 2009. They mapped locally available services in order be able to provide this information to the families that will eventually be living in the area. This information will also be beneficial to the youth, who will become private contractors once the housing project is complete and they will need to know where to purchase their supplies. It is the intention of the youth at Moonbeam to update the maps as the community expands and develops. 31

The Mathare Youth Talent Organization (MYTO) is a youth-led organization located in the Nairobi slum of Mathare 4. Group members participate in song and dance performances throughout the city and have opened schools in the community to educate children who are not able to afford to attend the public school. The group also provides start-up funding loans to MYTO members wishing to start their own businesses. The group recently expanded their activities to begin offering micro-credit loans to widows and other low-income people also wishing to open businesses. Members of MYTO participated in a series of mapping initiatives in their community. In the first session they mapped the MYTO member businesses in Mathare 4. Next, they mapped all of the small businesses run by non-MYTO members which received micro-credit loans. Finally, youth participants also mapped the locations of all the other youth support groups located in Mathare 4. 23
