Abstract:This publication results from a conference held on 7th and 8th August 2012 to discuss youth and the socioeconomic impact of peaceful and fair elections in Kenya. The conference was a platform to create a better understanding of the imperatives of peaceful and fair elections and anchor the principle of citizen agency in ensuring that the nation remains peaceful and stable at moments of transition. The conference explored what youth can do individually and collectively to ensure that the next elections, to be held on 4th March 2013, are peaceful and fair. The publication is divided into three parts: 1. Youth presence in national agenda; 2. Youth and peaceful elections; 3. Youth, leadership and peace building. Contributions in part 1: Youth as leaders in Kenya: transforming society by building bridges (Kimani Njogu); Perspectives on youth policies in Kenya (Margaret Wamuyu); Socio-economic status of youth in Kenya: implications for peaceful elections (Chrispine Oduor Owino); Opportunities and challenges for participation of young people in the electoral process (Suba Churchill); Part 2: Economic implications of peaceful and fair general elections in Kenya (X.N.
