The ClimateWorkx rollout for Kazi Mtaani was set to open on Tuesday, 3 June 2025. Current coverage also says the initiative was planned to run for about 6 months, with workers assigned in 10-day shifts and paid after each cycle.
Start date
The clearest reported start date is Tuesday, 3 June 2025. Multiple reports on the relaunch say that applications opened on that date and that the program rollout began around the same time.
Duration
The program duration was reported as about 6 months in one source, while another source describes the work structure as 10-day shifts. That means the overall program window was longer, but individual workers were engaged in short assignment cycles.
What that means
For applicants, the key date to remember is 3 June 2025. For workers, the practical duration was not one long contract, but repeated 10-day work periods within the broader 6-month program.
ClimateWorkx jobs are mainly community and environmental work roles. The available jobs reported so far include general workers and supervisors, with duties focused on tree planting, nursery care, river and drainage clean-ups, road maintenance, street cleaning, waste management, and public sanitation.
Main job types
-
General workers. These are the core youth participants doing manual work across the program.
-
Supervisors. These roles help coordinate workers, monitor attendance, and oversee task execution. Some reports say applicants with NYS experience may get preference for these positions.
Typical duties
-
Road maintenance and repair.
-
Tree planting and seedling production.
-
Seedbed preparation and nursery work.
-
River clean-ups and drainage clearing.
-
Street, market, and public space cleaning.
-
Waste management and public sanitation.
Where the work happens
The program is deployed across targeted counties and local communities, with reports showing activities in places such as Narok and other counties outside Nairobi. One report also noted that Nairobi was excluded in the rollout being discussed at that time.
What to expect
ClimateWorkx is not a desk job program. It is a temporary public works initiative meant to provide paid manual work, environmental restoration, and some skills development for unemployed youth.
