KESA will be represented by its Secretary General, Mark Gitau, at this year’s East Africa Regional Conference convened by Students For Liberty.

Held under the theme, “Cultivating an Economic Freedom Mindset for Prosperity,”

Mark is scheduled to participate in a panel discussion on “Barriers to Youth Participation in Regional Markets and How to Overcome Them.”

His contribution will centre on a question that deserves greater attention: how do we prepare young people to participate meaningfully in regional markets?

East Africa’s regional integration presents opportunities for young people, but access to those opportunities calls for practical exposure, supportive institutions, relevant networks and an enabling environment in which young people can test ideas, build enterprises and engage across borders.

KESA continues to support platforms that place young people within these conversations, where their experiences inform the debate and their participation helps shape solutions.

We look forward to Mr Gitau’s contribution to this important regional conversation on economic freedom, youth participation and shared prosperity.
