insensitive to the development issues that are
important to young people. This is compounded
by the fact that government institutions including the Ministry of Education are not providing
the necessary skills and knowledge to (i) support and harness the development of youth to
transit them to adulthood and the way of work,
(ii) build resilience to deal with the impact of
climate change and (iii) provide strategies to
deliver CCA policies and programmes.
2. From a top-down approach, policymakers are
mainly concerned with visibility and profitability, i.e. big projects, such as the construction of the international airport, which will
enable them to harness enough votes to win
the next general election and stay in power for
as long as possible. Policymakers are also
interested in providing support to communities following a disaster because of the visibility gained from such projects. Conversely,
they are not demonstrating concern with the
development of adaptation projects as well as
youth development because these do not
contribute significantly to votes to keep them
in political power.
