Brigding Generational Gaps in Kenya (leadership)
Related to country: Kenya


Whereas the larger population of voters in Kenya comprises young people, there are no mentoring or specific programs that groom leadership and accountability; and in diverse areas – whether it be politics, banking or industry among others. Hence many young people view the assistance offered to them as merely rhetoric. This is evidenced by the high rate of unemployment in Kenya.

IT could be considered with regards to how much it has contributed to commerce. Unfortunately, most of the developing nations have been left behind - either due to lack of resources or absence of technical skills. Consequently, IT solutions (in developing countries) are often implemented haphazardly - yet there are huge productivity gains to be realized from integrating IT in management and other work processes. Hence, as the developed world draws towards more sophisticated systems, it is important for the developing world to overcome management issues. As this happens, dynamic processes such as Systems Analysis and Design need to be well understood for successful implementation and integration of information technology management. These are vital technical and organizational aspects which could prove useful in developing an approach to assist young people who are embedded in an environment of varying computing devices such as cell phones, computers or the internet – valuable resources that can be used to create wealth.

The above depiction presents a backdrop of complex socio-economic issues in which entrepreneurs; especially small and medium sized outfits are embedded and expected to thrive in the developed world. They seem doomed to fail, more so when poor technical practices are coupled with social ills and other inter-related challenges (which include poverty, crime, HIV and AIDS, corruption). I posit that entrepreneurship is a viable option – especially since the government is lagging on its pledge on annual job creation. But even then, any resources deployed have to be coupled with good ideas and sound technical expertise for sustainability. Hence to aid young adults earn a decent living wage (with or without formal schooling) in Kenya, we need holistic approaches that not only preach but also maintain all these best practices.
