dc.description.abstract | This study seeks information on the role of global youth leadership forums in promoting
sustainable development in Africa and focussed on its three objectives to confirm the study’s
hypotheses. To achieve this, the study narrows down on the relationship between the youth in
their Global Youth Leadership Forums and national development to examine and analyse if
they have an impact on sustainable development in the country, strengthen national leadership
and governance and lastly contribute to the national interests of the state. The liberal theory
best guides this study as one of its major principles is supporting the involvement of nongovernmental
actors and international organizations in shaping state preferences in the study’s
case national development. Questionnaires and Interviews guides were used in data collection
to confirm the studies hypotheses. The study confirmed the hypotheses that global youth
leadership forums do strengthen national leadership and governance in Kenya. The study
recommends academic scholars to explore the opportunity in youth work for them to have a
niche in the quest for youth development and to engage and collaborate more with government,
youth and civil society by helping bridge the knowledge gap. Lastly, the study recommends
the collaboration of all actors in youth initiatives by having the youth council fully
representational of all sectors in the youth sector and its capacity be built as a central institution
for youth engagement and policy centre | en_US |
