“I think for me, I have a critique when it comes to volunteering. Because this word “volunteering”, mostly it is the youth who are being told volunteer. But when it comes to the job or when it comes to, like, getting [paid] opportunities, it's another group of people who get opportunities” (Nicera, Nairobi).
- Where infrastructure upgrading and provision is now designed and planned, consider young peoples’ needs and mitigate risks (such as pandemic related).
- Ensure paid opportunities for young people to become involved.
- Consider investing in TV or radio programming that could cover periods of school or university closures without relying on internet connectivity that is unavailable or unaffordable to some.
- Consider access to laptops and wifi infrastructure.
- Resilient water and sanitation infrastructure is urgently needed for domestic as well as business use.
