Youth in Clean Energy Entrepreneurship Workshop in Homa Bay

This workshop provided a strategic opportunity for ACTS, the YDEF, KCIC, two key consortium members, and Tom Mboya University (TMU) to engage women and youth-led clean energy entrepreneurs to upscale and upgrade their business through integrated business support. Designed as an interactive forum, the workshop brought together stakeholders from the grassroots level in Nyanza, Rift Valley, and Western regions in Kenya to collaboratively generate relevant knowledge aimed at stimulating youth interest in clean energy. The participatory engagement was expected to support the optimization and scaling of youth-led clean energy enterprises and business models. Co‑created insights will be compiled into a range of knowledge products, including briefs, case studies, toolkits, and policy summaries, for broad dissemination among Clean Energy Entrepreneurship (CEE) stakeholders. Ultimately, the initiative seeks to inform both policy and practice, demonstrating the transformative potential of youth‑led clean energy innovations not only at the community level but also across counties and potentially at national and regional scales.
