                                            📣 On Tuesday Mufaro Association had the honour of participating in a powerful and inspiring workshop hosted by Dialogue on Shelter in partnership with Plan International under the Safe and Inclusive Cities (SAIC) Project.
The theme was:
"Strengthening Youth-Led Organisations for Collaboration on Community Development."
This timely conversation brought together youth-led groups and organisations committed to transforming our communities from the ground up.
🔑 Key Takeaways:
✅ Collaboration is not optional — it’s essential.
We were reminded of the power of youth consortiums. Working together under a shared purpose to amplify our impact, mobilize resources, and implement joint activities that speak to the real needs of our communities.
✅ Applying for grants and implementing projects as a united network strengthens our voice, increases our reach, and builds trust with donors and communities alike.
✅ We explored the I-MPA-CI model, guiding us to collaborate thematically around:
Sexual & Reproductive Health Rights (SRHR) and GBV prevention
Climate action & waste management
Urban safety and violence prevention
Youth empowerment and vocational skills
✅ Even in the absence of funding, we were reminded that trust, purpose, and unity are our strongest currencies.
