1.0 Kilifi County

Kilifi County covers a total surface area of 12,610 km2 and accounts for 2.17 per cent of Kenya’s

total surface area. It borders Tana River county to the North, Taita Taveta county to the

West, county and Kwale County to the South and the Indian Ocean to the East. The topography of

P.O. Box 50950 - 00100

Nairobi, Kenya


the county is dominated by low-range sand-stone hills, and a terrain that generally slopes towards

the sea.

The community within Kilifi County is a mix of the native people of Kilifi County and

settlers from other parts of the country. The settlers have had an influx in recent years and

own most of the small and medium size enterprises (SMEs) in the area. Kilifi County is

among the counties with the highest income inequality in Kenya, with the expenditure ratio

between the wealthiest and the poorest being 20 to1 while the national ratio is 9 to 1

(KNBS & SID, 2013). This is determined by a host of factors including: education level,

access to clean water, and good housing among others. The residents, adults and youths,

most of which have not had post-secondary education, engage in menial activities for

livelihood. According to the report by Kenya National Bureau of Statistics and Society for

International Development (2013), youth between 15 and 24 make approximately 20% of

the population in Kilifi County. Mtwapa being a town it has diverse cultures as it has

attracted people from different parts of Kenya as it is a tourist destination. Almost all tribes

are represented in this town.

2.0 CAP Youth Empowerment Institute

CAP Youth Empowerment Institute has over the past six years demonstrated a solution to the

challenge of youth unemployment that not only works, but offers high potential for scale and

sustainability. CAP YEI is a Kenyan NGO started in 2010, as a signature program funded by the


P.O. Box 50950 - 00100

Nairobi, Kenya


MasterCard Foundation to bridge the existing gap between learning and earning in the Kenyan

youths (see www.capyei.org). The CAPYEI mandate is addressing youth unemployment by offering

skills training and support through its Basic Employability Skills Training (BEST) model.

BEST is a demand led model that works by closely linking employers, youth, mentors and other

stakeholders to delivers skills and support optimized to train youth with the right skills and

attitudes to perform at work and that employers will hire. The model plays equal emphasis on

providing technical skills as well as life skills. Every course offered by CAP YEI is based on a market

assessment that estimates employability potential for trained youth. Potential employers are

engaged at all levels, including curriculum delivery, mentorship, practical training and work

readiness. A post training support program and alumni network contribute to supporting youth as

they transition from training to the world of work.

Using the BEST model, CAP YEI has trained over 34,261 youth in Kenya directly and attained a

successful transition (from learning to earning) that averages 78%, one of the highest rates in

Kenya. In 2014, CAP YEI embarked on a Capacity building program target Vocational Training

Centers (VTC’s) with the goal of teaching them to adapt some of the most important principles and

processes of the BEST to their programs. This program has now reached 96 VTC’s across Kenya and

indirectly helped to reach over 6000 youth. As part of the strategy, the BEST model program has

now been enhanced to include skills training and support in the Government mandate Competency

Based Education and Training Framework (CBET) which gives beneficiary VTC’s and youth an

important advantage as this program has only recently started. Sixty CAP YEI staff have been

http://www.capyei.org/


P.O. Box 50950 - 00100

Nairobi, Kenya


trained in the Competency Based Education and Training (CBET) approach, which has subsequently

become an important part of BEST model delivery

CAP YEI’s has developed 18 courses under the BEST model, 6 of which have been accredited by

CDACC. CAP WDI and CAP YEI have existing staff complement of 154 representing most of the skills

and program carried out.

To properly handle the monitoring and evaluation of the programs and/or projects, CAP YEI/CAP

WDI developed an in-house Management Information System that is used to generate regular and

accurate data for project monitoring and management. In 2016 CAP YEI embarked on a process of

ISO certification primarily as a strategy for ensuring quality and standards across all the domains.

CAP YEI expects to be ISO certified by July 2018.

2.1 Eligibility to CAP YEI Training

The youth applying to join CAPYEI are not discriminated against on the basis of tribe, color,

gender, religion, socio-economic status, disability. CAPYEI is open to young Kenyans who

meet the following criteria but not in order of importance:

Unemployed: Our first call is to all unemployed youth between 18-25 years to train

them and then place them into employment or support them to venture into

entrepreneurship. These youth are vulnerable because with lack of a source of

income, and our intervention brings change by assisting them access employment

that translates to money in the bank. We help steer them from effects of systemic


P.O. Box 50950 - 00100

Nairobi, Kenya


poverty that may lead them to being radicalized or into unlawful means of income

generation.

Family Focus: We take only one youth per household for maximum reach out in the

community. This is because CAPYEI believes that reaching one youth per household

will translate to as many families reached.

Gender: The current gender ratio of male to female in CAPYEI programs is 40:60 in

percentage. The program targets to reach a minimum of 35% young women and

CAPYEI currently has reached 612 female students that constitute of 60% of the

youth in the program in Kilifi. The Coastal region experiences a unique cultural,

religious, geographical and historical condition that makes it even harder for young

women to take part in CAPYEI.

School Dropouts: These youth could have dropped out of primary school or

secondary school because of various issues like they might have had no money to

support schooling, pregnancy and giving birth, radicalization, some might have

become caregivers, or were expelled due to drugs, or other misbehavior in school.

CAPYEI seeks to empower these youth through training and linking them to

opportunities to earn income.

Geographical scope: CAPYEI reaches the youth from the most geographically

disadvantaged areas in the Kilifi communities.

Working with administration officials: CAPYEI works with administration

officials like chiefs as opposed to the Political leaders. This is because working with


P.O. Box 50950 - 00100

Nairobi, Kenya


chiefs has proven recruitment and retention and follow-up results. They know the

trainees families, homes and are respectable members of the society.

Orphanages: CAPYEI centers provide safe, family-style environment for orphans

and vulnerable youth that are targeted from orphanages. These could be due to loss

of parents or abandonment leaving them nowhere else to go.

3.0 CAP YEI Presence in Kilifi County

CAP YEI has 5 centers in Kilifi County, Mtwapa center, muyeye center kilifi center, mtwapa

portable center and mkwanjuni center. These are under the The EU-GIZ Youth Empowerment and

Employment Project. This is a component of the “Conflict prevention, peace, and economic

opportunities for the youth initiative being implemented by Deutsche Gesellschaft für

Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) and financed by the European Union (EU) Emergency Trust

Fund for Stability and Addressing the Root causes of Irregular Migration and Displaced Persons in

Africa. The project contributes to increased peace, stability and inclusive economic opportunities

for youth in marginalised areas in Kenya. The project has been established in order to provide

youth with skills which can be used to improve employment and their livelihoods.

The project works closely with the county governments in the coastal region, private sector

(industry) and local training providers to respond to the existing gap between the skills of young

people and those businesses require. Thus, a particular focus is placed upon the nexus and

interdependency between the private sector, vocational education institutions, and the coastal

region's youth. Central is the short and long term potential of the interventions to address the

negative condition of youth. Key is a strong commitment to maximize developmental benefits,


P.O. Box 50950 - 00100

Nairobi, Kenya


both by providing those most at risk and vulnerable with short term skills training, linkages and

support that will enable them to embark on the path of positive economic engagement, by securing

jobs or by starting small businesses. And for the long term by providing capacity building for

Vocational Training Centers to provide the same skills and support through a market based,

demand driven employability.

3.1 Project Objectives

The main objective of the project is to provide youth with skills which can be used to improve

employment and livelihoods prospects and contribute to the intended outcome of providing a total

of 3,160 young people in marginalised areas with opportunities to acquire vocational skills that

better enable them to access economic opportunities. Improving the access to jobs and economic

opportunities for youth in Kilifi County. This is achieved through demand and practically oriented

trainings in selected technical and vocational areas, awareness and orientation in career guidance

and counselling. Support will be provided for self-employment opportunities by integrating

enterprise development in the training context

3.2 Approaches Used

3.2.1 Direct Training through a Demonstration Center

Direct training, support and placement through demo center set up by CAP YEI. This provides a

platform for controlled application of the BEST model, serving in turn as practical demonstration

the concept designed by CAP YEI. The concept is a soul responsibility of CAP YEI.in kilifi county we

have3 demonstration center that is; Mtwapa centre and kilifi center


P.O. Box 50950 - 00100

Nairobi, Kenya


3.2.2 Direct Training through Replication Centers

Replication centers are training centers where CAP YEI shall provide youth training in a host public

or private institutions that offers vocational skills. The partnering institutions provide training

facilities ie classes, office, IT infrastructure. The aim is to demonstrate to the partnering institution

on how to conduct short term skills training, activities involved, the process and the benefits that

comes with it.in Kilifi County we have 1 replication center that is Muyeye center and mkwanjuni

center in Malindi.

3.2.3 Direct Training through Portable Training

Portable training delivery mechanistic will support youth in remote rural areas and in places that

would not set up a permanents training centers, who normally would not be able to come for

training. Teams will travel to remote parts of the Coast region to train youth and link them to

livelihood opportunities largely available in the major towns. This will enable the project to reach

youth, supporting them to move to where economic opportunities are. We shall provide an avenue

for safe and positive migration where they can be useful to themselves and their families back

home.in Kilifi County we have 1 portable center that is mtwapa portable center

4.0 Kilifi County CAPYEI Centers

Kilifi County has 3 operating centers that is Mtwapa center, Muyeye center and Kilifi center. Also

there are upcoming centers that will be in Mtwapa portable center and Mkwajuni center which will

enroll 110 and 105 trainees respectively. The courses offered are, Hospitality, hairdressing,

automobile, building and construction, electrical and electronics.
