KISIP 2/NYOTA Conducts Induction for Social Emotional Skills Trainers in Lamu County

The Kenya Informal Settlements Improvement Project Phase Two (KISIP 2) in partnership with the NYOTA Programme has conducted an induction training for trainers and assistant trainers under the Social Emotional Skills Training Programme at Lamu Youth Polytechnic.

The induction aimed to equip selected trainers and assistant trainers with the knowledge, skills, and tools necessary for the effective delivery of social emotional learning sessions to youth beneficiaries enrolled under KISIP 2 implementing sites in Witu, Mokowe, Matondoni, Wiyoni, and Faza.

The training, organized by the KISIP 2 National Team, NYOTA Project Management Unit (PMU), and the KISIP County Team, also brought together Settlement Executive Committee (SEC) members and Grievance Redress Committee (GRC) chairpersons from the respective settlements.

In her opening remarks, the County Executive Committee Member (CECM) for Lands, Hon. Tashrifa Bakari, urged trainers and their assistants to take the training seriously and use the opportunity to empower fellow youth within their communities.

She further encouraged young people not to shy away from opportunities, noting that Lamu County presents numerous opportunities that youth should actively explore for personal growth and development.

The Social Emotional Skills Training Programme is part of ongoing efforts under KISIP 2 to strengthen youth capacity, promote personal development, and enhance community resilience across informal settlements in Lamu County.

The induction was also attended by Chief Officer for Lands Ahmed Ali, County KISIP 2 Project Coordinator Architect Omar Sagaff, Environmental Safeguard Officer Gabriel Ngige, among other county officials.
