Addressing the needs of rural youth is gathering attention with international development agencies, donors and private companies supporting new initiatives by governmental and non-governmental organizations in many parts of the world and in Africa in particular. Issues surrounding rural youths such as limited access to educational services, dependency on mainly unpaid labour in family farms and working in the informal sector as well as the considerable impact of migration on their livelihoods - especially affecting young women- have been widely recognized as significant. There is overall agreement that if youth issues are not addressed high rates of youth unemployment and under-employment will persist and overall development in African countries could be negatively affected. In this context and in line with its 2011 – 2015 Strategic Framework, The International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD), in partnership with PROCASUR Africa, organized an eight day learning route on Innovative ideas and approaches to integrate Rural Youth in Agriculture. The progress in Kenya between the 11th to the 18th of August 2014. The aim of this Learning Route was to contribute to lesson-sharing and learning at country and regional level in order to build technical capacities within IFAD´s operations and partners in the ESA region on innovative strategies and approaches to engage rural youth in agriculture, increase employment and reduce poverty. One of the host case studies of this learning route was the Kenya Youth-to-Youth Fund - Entrepreneurship development organization which aims to provide youth led organizations with both funding and capacity building, thereby enabling them to move from being passive recipients and become active participants in the promotion and creation of youth employment.

Notes de l'éditeur
- By supporting emerging and existing young entrepreneurs to succeed in their business ventures.
- The initiative has five strategic interlinked components to unleash the ideas of existing and emerging entrepreneurs.
- -There’s little evidence on what works and what doesn’t work with youth employment programs. -Research conducted by the ILO in West Africa, which challenged youth as to how they would design employment programs showed that 1) most projects proposed were heavily focused on entrepreneurship, (because in many target countries the reality is that self-employment is one of the few viable employment options within the current job markets) and 2) The most successful projects provided a combination of hard and soft skills training, access to finance, practical training and follow up support -The development of the Y2YF was based on these findings, focusing on meaningful youth participation, and providing the "full package" to young entrepreneurs with a focus on innovative areas or niche markets.

- In selecting an implementing partner, we wanted to find an organization with grant management and entrepreneurial experience, networks and projects across the country, and with similar values to YEF (supporting organizations to leverage on local resources to facilitate sustainable entrepreneurship opportunities. Y2YF Grantees are selected based on several standardized criteria: they must be a registered non-profit organization, primarily youth led. They are also assessed on their demonstrated project innovation, relevance of the solution & the scale of impact, organizational capacity & implementation potential, market potential, ownership of the beneficiaries, sustainability and partnership development. We work with a range of NGO’s across Kenya in both rural and urban settlements. Community beneficiaries are selected by the grantee organizations. They must come up with specific selection criteria to ensure they are selecting individuals who have the drive, interest and resources to succeed in their project. Most beneficiaries are under or unemployed youth in vulnerable circumstances, in rural areas or urban informal settlements.
- The Y2Y Fund began in 2008 with pilot programs in West Africa (Côte D'Ivoire, Guinea, Liberia, Sierra Leone) implemented in partnership with UNIDO. It’s since been expanded to Guinea, Morocco, Togo. The program was exported to East Africa as part of the Youth Entrepreneurship Facility in Uganda, Kenya and Tanzania in 2010.
- -The World Bank recognized the Y2Y Fund as one of the 30 most important and innovative global models which support micro-entrepreneurship. -The Rockefeller Foundation showcased the Y2Y Fund in its 100 Innovators Gallery.
