Implementation methodologies
Arrangements for Capacity-Building and Technology Transfer
The milestone consortium partnership in vocational skills training between UNDP Kenya, Housing Finance Foundation, Kuza Biashara and the SDG Philanthropy Platform will significantly transform the way youth would want to Learn, Connect and Grow beyond the current trainings offered by the Biashara centre in line with 21st Century technology to reach more youth even in the most remote areas that cannot always attend classroom training using mobile phones. Internet training on computers at the Biashara centre will be complemented by mobile phone training and TVET on wheels which will extend access beyond the centre to some of the most remote areas of Marsabit where youth cannot leave their occupations and income streams to learn full time.
