On Nagaa Radio: ASREP and KSG Take Governance 'Under the Tree' to Isiolo Listeners
ASREP and the Kenya School of Government took the Under the Tree governance conversation to the airwaves on Nagaa Radio, reaching Isiolo listeners with civic education framed around the county's youth-unemployment and poverty challenges.
ASREP Africa and the **Kenya School of Government (KSG)** took the **Under the Tree** governance conversation to the airwaves on **Nagaa Radio**, extending civic education and public sensitization to Isiolo listeners who cannot always attend in-person forums.
Meeting communities where they are
Local radio remains one of the most trusted and far-reaching channels in the ASALs. By taking the Under the Tree Series to Nagaa Radio, ASREP and KSG widened access to civic information — inviting more residents into conversations about governance, services, and opportunity.
Grounded in the county's realities
The discussion was anchored in the pressures young people in Isiolo face: **KNBS reports youth unemployment in Isiolo at 19.2%, while poverty stands at 52%.** Framing civic engagement around these realities keeps the conversation practical — connecting governance to jobs, services, and livelihoods rather than abstraction.
