Kenya will verify youth fund applicants across 290 constituencies on Friday, October 24, 2025. Cabinet Secretary Wycliffe Oparanya said officials will check residency, education, employment, gender and disability status at designated centers. Applicants must appear personally with national identification cards to remain eligible for selection.

The validation uses government officers, elected leaders and project teams at ward-level stations. Young people who have not completed the Entrepreneurship Aptitude Test can take it at validation sites by texting NYOTA to 40270. Officials will analyze results over three days before announcing final beneficiaries.

The World Bank supports this five-year program targeting 820,000 youth between the ages of 18 and 29. The initiative provides 100,000 entrepreneurs with training, mentorship, and 50,000 shilling grants. Persons with disabilities qualify for the business support component up to age 35.
