Reversing Voter Apathy, Strengthening Kenyan Democracy

In the 2022 General Election, over 7.8 million registered Kenyans 35% of the electorate stayed away from the polls. Jukwaa la Demokrasia is tackling this democratic crisis through a four-pillar approach that rebuilds civic trust, removes voting barriers, connects politics to economic outcomes, and reshapes democratic narratives among youth. Join our movement to transform Kenya's democracy from registration to meaningful participation.

Youth Legislative Fellows Program

Creating the next generation of policy leaders. This fellowship places young professionals (aged 21-35) as full-time staff in parliamentary and county offices, where they contribute fresh perspectives while learning governance firsthand. The program includes mentorship, leadership training, and a supportive alumni network, building a pipeline of experienced, ethical young leaders ready for public service.

University Policy Innovation Hubs

Transforming campuses into policy laboratories. We establish dedicated policy hubs in universities where students collaborate with academics, practitioners, and community members to research, design, and prototype solutions to real-world challenges. These hubs serve as incubators for youth-led policy proposals that address everything from urban mobility to digital inclusion.
