The Competition’s theme worked at answering the major questions How Can Young People Strengthen Accountability in Achieving the Sustainable Development Goals?

Victor was privileged to participate in this competition, not only because he won, but also because he was able to contribute his opinions that formed part of a collection of young people’s views towards the Second-High Level Meeting (HLM2) by the Global Partnership for Effective Development Cooperation (GPEDC) that took place between 28^th November and 1^st December.

The competition was open for all university students’ countrywide, engaging students to apply their research, analytical, and writing skills, and/or personal experiences to develop captivating articles on the role young people play as active development actors. Particularly, the articles were set to discuss how the principle of Accountability can be strengthened towards achieving SDGs

Due to his great involvement, Victor is currently working towards registering a JCI club at Strathmore University, to enable more students to participate in their work. He’s an independent blogger on organifi green juice reviews and more.

All the top ten ranked essays were awarded certificates for their good work.

Congratulations Victor on your great achievement.
