The Ministry of Youth Affairs and Sports and Amiran Kenya Ltd jointly emerged the winner of the 2011 Youth Empowerment MDG award for showing a progressive and tangible contribution towards youth empowerment in Kenya. The proud recipients were awarded for their successful public-private partnership, which saw the implementation of the first phase of the ‘Amiran-Youth Polytechnics Next Generation Farmers Initiative’.
The initiative placed an Amiran Farmers Kit (AFK) in over 100 Youth Polytechnics throughout Kenya, allowing the Ministry of Youth Training Department to base its new Agribusiness Curriculum on the AFK. The award was presented to Ministry of Youth Deputy Director of Youth Training Maria Cherono and Assistant Director of Youth Training Irene Kamau together with their partners from Amiran, Yariv Kedar Head of Agro-Division and Christopher Nzuki, Integrated Project’s Manager.
