Here’s how Dr. Katindi envisioned and worked on the legacy-defining Kenya Youth Scenarios (KEYS) back in 2010. She first conceived of the Kenya Youth Scenarios project to help Kenyans constructively deal with the impending youth bulge. The idea was to help each region within Kenya create their own scenarios about the future of youth in Kenya. From these scenarios, the hope was that not only will regular Kenyans—as I can say they have already begun to do—have a more nuanced conversation about youth issues, but so will the Kenyan government.
