The NYOTA Project aims to increase employment and earnings and promote savings for targeted youth at national scale. The Project is expected to reach 820,000 vulnerable youth across all 47 counties of Kenya, including refugees in Garissa and Turkana counties. The Project beneficiaries are youth aged 18-29 years, and up to 35 years for persons with disabilities, with little or no education, who are unemployed or in vulnerable employment.

For clarity, the results-based financing milestones to be verified are: Milestone 1: placement into apprenticeship; Milestone 2: retention in apprenticeship for five months; and Milestone 3: retention in paid employment for six months after apprenticeship.

The estimated beneficiary population from which verification claims may arise is 90,000, with geographic coverage across the 47 counties. The initial contract period shall be twelve (12) months. The contract may be renewed in twelve-month periods, subject to satisfactory performance against agreed deliverables, continued need for the services, availability of funds, and compliance with quality and timeliness requirements. The contract shall not extend beyond the Project closing date of 31st December 2028, unless that date is formally extended and the Contract is amended in accordance with the applicable procurement and contract provisions.
