Youth Agency, Sport, and the Public Sphere in Kenya

Abstract  

In many African countries, youths’ participation in the public sphere is still limited despite the creation of legal instruments
such as the African Youth Charter and myriad youth-centered national policies. Across the continent, marginalized youths face
various constraints in accessing the public sphere. This article examines how one voluntary sports association, the Mathare
Youth Sports Association, uses sports as an alternative public sphere to engage with government actors and the community on
social justice issues.
