Evaluation of the Engaging Kenyan Youth in Agriculture and Nutrition programme in Kenya (under Generation Unlimited)

The EKYAN programme partners with the government and organisations, including Kuza Biashara, SNV, and the World Bank, to equip young people with skills in agribusiness, climate-smart agriculture, and nutrition through digital learning platforms.
