Reputed
rating establishment and Africa’s leading Media and PR firm, Avance Media in
partnership with Jagari Designs have announced their inaugural list of 100 Most
Influential Young Kenyans.
The
list which reflects the achievements of young Kenyans throughout the year 2016
was streamlined in 10 distinct categories which represent key sectors across
Kenya’s economy.
The
list which has gender equity of 42 women and 48 men is an initiative meant to
serve as a source of inspiration to young people around the world.
According
to Prince Akpah, MD of Avance Media, the initiative which
was previously only launched for Ghana is embarking on a continental agenda of
leading in sprouting the works and achievements of young people whose immerse
contributions are sidelined and Kenya happens to be part of the first set of
countries involved in the ranking.
Resident
COO of the rankings, JaneroseGatobu also shared her excitement about list,
stating it is going to massively contribute to putting the stories of young Kenyans
on the globe.
In
rating who becomes the 2016 Most
Influential Young Kenyan, the general public is being invited to vote for
their most impactful youth on ke.avancemedia.org.
After
public votes ends on 18th January, 2017, winners will be announced according to
their respective categories before the young person voted as the Most
Influential Young Kenyan for 2016 will be announced.
