'I used to have this technical background. There was a borehole and I was supervising people drilling. But at CONIWAS, it has been more about governance, advocacy, transparency and accountability: the social aspects. Now, I know more about my own capacities. I know that I am able to work in communications. I can multi-task and I am able to link things. I am more than a hydrologist', said Simon Peter Sekuma, the young professional from NETWAS Uganda, reflecting on his nine-month stationing at CONIWAS in Ghana.
The coming two weeks, Simon Peter Sekuma, Basilia Nanbigne, Mahidul Islam, and Adres Gil look back, share and reflect on their nine-month stationing as part of their participation in the IRC Southern Youth Zone Programme. To do so, they have travelled to IRC headquartes in The Netherlands, to participate in a two-week feedback and evaluation workshop. The IRC Southern Youth Zone programme aims to strengthen the knowledge and skills of young professionals involved in Water, Sanitation and Hygiene Resource Centre Networks.
Throughout the coming weeks, frequent updates and lessons from the workshop will be shared on these pages.
