@YetTrust @wmakokoba @MakomboreroH @NAYOZimbabwe @youthdecidezim @diana_harawa @ropamakumire @RuralYoungWomen @ManicaYouth @SAYoF_Official @SAPSN99 @centreforyouths At COTRAD, we believe information is power. That’s why we put knowledge-sharing at the core of our work — equipping young people and communities not just to know more, but to do more, and to become more. #WeRiseTogether #InformationIsPower #LeadershipMatters

[COTRAD, ZIMBABWE @cotradinfo]

True leadership is built together in our communities, in our everyday actions. And sometimes, one powerful insight is all it takes to shift a mindset and ignite change. @YetTrust @wmakokoba @MakomboreroH @NAYOZimbabwe @youthdecidezim @diana_harawa @ropamakumire

What is your take on the ongoing demolition of tuckshops and other structures deemed illegal? Do you think the national clean-up exercise is fair, or is it hurting livelihoods? @bbmhlanga @ropamakumire @daddyhope @AdvDali_Mpofu @advocatemahere @ZimRightsMasvi2 @table_girls

@CouncilorMutub1 @YetTrust @CCMTZimbabwe @zppINFO @amnesty_zim @OpenParlyZw @MakomboreroH @ZimRightsLIVE @zccinzim At COTRAD, we believe that meaningful change begins with community engagement, amplifying citizens’ voices, and working together to address the challenges affecting our communities. #CommunityDevelopment #Accountability #CitizenEngagement #CommunityVoices #SocialChange

When communities and local leaders speak, their voices matter! A councillor reflects on the work being done by Community Tolerance Reconciliation and Development (COTRAD) and its contribution to community development and accountability.

[COTRAD, ZIMBABWE @cotradinfo]

Your vote matters. Your leadership matters. As COTRAD, we encourage all young people to: 1. INSPECT THE VOTERS ROLL @ZESN1
2. VERIFY YOUR DETAILS
3. PARTICIPATE AS CANDIDATES & VOTERS. Democracy works when YOU participate.#YouthInPolitics #Inspect @ercafrica @ZECzim @weleadteam

It's Monday a new week, a fresh opportunity. As we join forces to drive social change, may this week unlock greater impact, ignite stronger youth agency, and unleash bold, fearless leadership.

➡️ Genuine leaders celebrate their teams in victory and shoulder the burden in adversity. Leadership is not deserting your people when the storm hits. It is standing firm beside them, taking bold decisions. @zppINFO @CCMTZimbabwe @YetTrust @VisionAfricaZim @zrgtpeacebuild
