I’m Ziso Blessed, a Rural Youth from Chiredzi District in Zimbabwe. I am happy I attended the Kuyenda Review meeting, where we reviewed the progress, success, and challenges faced by the first phase of the project and prepared for the next phase which mainly focuses on transnational advocacy. I learnt that, as we scale up, there is need for the RYCs to improve their reading and research skills so that we make informed arguments based on evidence. I enjoyed interacting with fellow RYCs from different countries and senior personnel from the different implementing partners.

At this review meeting I had very good insights as follows: 1) the openness of the process was good, we plan together, we have dialogues, we network and now we have a clear vision on what we advocate for. 2) I learnt how to plan ,how we can be more proactive in addressing our challenges throughout the local level and at transnational level engagement. 3) For the past three days there have been good moments since I have seen how the information in other countries, how they manage their situation and learnt how they respond to any emerging issues.
