Leading the Charge for Accountability in Matero Constituency 6th September 2024 Today, I have the privilege of leading a crucial session with women under the Marginalized Women and Youth Demand Accountability from Duty Holders initiative in Matero Constituency. Our focus was on understanding how accountability in public service delivery directly impacts community life. The issues presented were deeply troubling and include: 1. Rising crime rates 2. Water supply problems 3. Waste management challenges 4. Early marriages 5. Electricity deficits 6. Drug abuse Hearing firsthand about these urgent problems underscores the need for immediate and effective action from our leaders. Having worked extensively at the community level, it's clear that these issues require a heightened sense of urgency. Let's continue to engage actively with our communities and advocate for meaningful change. Together, we can drive the progress we need and deserve. #CommunityDevelopment #PublicAccountability #MateroConstituency #SocialChange #Leadership #CommunityEngagement

From civic empowerment to raising social accountability awareness and bolstering participatory governance by deploying civic tech solutions are for the attainment of the #SDGs We celebrate #WorldNGODay in recognition of the impacts of #NGOs globally in shaping development.

I DO BELIEVE THAT BUILDING A TEAM AROUND US IS THE MOST EFFECTIVE WAY OF CREATING INSTITUTIONAL AND COMMUNITY CHANGE AROUND DIVERSITY ISSUES. You will be more effective if you have a group of people around you that works together closely. People often try to go it alone, but we can lose sight of our goals and then become discouraged when operating solo. It is important to take the time to develop strong relationships with a core of people, and then work together as a group.
