P.S Sing’Oei Underscores Mentorship in Building the Next Generation of Leaders

The State Department for Foreign Affairs has reaffirmed the importance of investing in young people through mentorship, networking and strategic partnerships during the Walk with NextGen Youth Mentorship and Networking Event held this morning at Karura Forest, Nairobi that was attended by PS Dr. Korir Sing’oei.

The event was organised by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) as a platform to bring together young people, mentors and institutional partners to foster meaningful connections, facilitate knowledge exchange and inspire the next generation of leaders.

The event also marked the entry of China Road and Bridge Corporation (CRBC) as a new partner in the initiative, further strengthening the collaborative effort to expand opportunities for youth engagement and development.

The initiative underscores the value of creating platforms where young people can interact with experienced professionals, build meaningful networks and gain insights that support their personal and professional growth.

The Ministry recognises that youth empowerment requires a collective approach involving government, development partners, the private sector and other stakeholders. Such partnerships are instrumental in bridging opportunity gaps, nurturing talent and equipping young people with the networks, knowledge and confidence to contribute meaningfully to national and global development.

Through continued collaboration with partners such as UNDP and CRBC, initiatives like Walk with NextGen demonstrate the importance of translating commitments to youth development into practical opportunities for mentorship, engagement and growth.
