Young people in Kenya are being urged to actively participate in governance and decision-making processes to rebuild trust in public institutions.

• Key participants at a Pre-Summit Roundtable on Governance and Public Institutions in Nairobi called for meaningful inclusion of youth, women, and persons with disabilities.
• Trust Summit CEO Awel Uwihanganye emphasized that trust is the "missing software" in public governance and that reforms are incomplete without youth involvement.
• The Kenyan government, represented by Ibrahim Mustapha from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, stated its constitutional obligation to engage youth in policy formulation and highlighted programs like "Foreign Policy Mashinani" to facilitate this.
