Generation Z (born between 1997 and 2012) is Africa’s most connected and educated generation. The United Nations reports that over 60% of Africa’s population is under 25. Yet, this youth bulge hasn’t translated into political leverage.
In Kenya, a 2023 Afrobarometer report found that 80% of young people identified corruption, unemployment, and police brutality as key concerns. However, only 47% trusted elections to bring change. This disconnect fuels apathy and disillusionment.
