Recognizing these challenges, COMASI is committed to implementing solutions that directly address the skills gap and promote economic growth, particularly in rural areas. Our strategic initiatives include: Targeted Vocational Training Programs: COMASI will provide specialized training in areas such as tailoring, masonry, and modern farming practices. These programs are designed to equip youth with practical skills that are in high demand, particularly in rural regions where these skills can significantly boost productivity and economic activity. Agricultural Training and Conservation: Understanding the critical role of agriculture in Kenya’s economy, COMASI aims to revitalize this sector by training youth in modern farming techniques and conservation practices. By doing so, we hope to attract more young people to agriculture, thereby enhancing food security and increasing rural productivity. ICT and Innovation Hubs: To prepare youth for the demands of the modern job market, COMASI will establish Service centers starting with the informal settlement i.e. Kibera, and Kwa Njenga Mathare areas. These hubs will provide access to the latest technologies and training in digital skills with the help of AI, enabling young people to engage in research, acquire new skills, and explore entrepreneurial opportunities. Conservation as an Economic Driver: COMASI plans to introduce training programs focused on conservation as a viable source of income. By educating youth on sustainable practices, we aim to create opportunities in eco-tourism, wildlife management, and environmental conservation, which can serve as alternative sources of livelihood. Community Engagement and Mentorship: COMASI will work closely with local communities to ensure that training programs are tailored to the specific needs of each region. Through mentorship and collaboration with government structures, we will foster a culture of lifelong learning and skills development, ensuring that young people are empowered to contribute to their communities. By focusing on these solutions, COMASI aims to bridge the skills gap, reduce rural-urban migration, and promote sustainable economic development across Kenya. Our goal is to empower the nation’s youth, ensuring that they have the tools and opportunities they need to succeed, regardless of where they live.
