Personal statements
Provide an overview of your major professional accomplishments over the past year, as well as your long-term goals and
aspirations. What motivates you to work in your field?

As the coordinator of the NGO Young Leaders of Integral Development (www.jldi.net), my main achievements since the year 2019
are:
-Two thousand eight hundred and twenty trees reforested on ten hectares of agricultural land purchased by members since
February two thousand and twenty to date;
Two hundred and forty-eight full members were trained in mental and reproductive health, agroforestry techniques and plastic waste
recycling. In addition to these trainings, the youth were trained in the life skills module based on the eleven life skills, social
entrepreneurship (which has resulted in two businesses currently being incubated). They also received training on social cohesion,
good governance, community engagement, and the implementation of the twenty-second nation resolution that raises awareness on
the role of youth in peacekeeping.
Since July two thousand and twenty one, the young members of our organization, produce after each quarter, self-locking bricks
designed with solid waste.

Currently, I am the coordinator of the NGO Jeunes Leaders du Développement Intégral in the DRC and Focal Point of the Youth,
Peace and Security coalition in East Kasai.
I coordinate a team of two hundred and forty-eight young people spread throughout the DRC, in the execution of tasks leading to the
achievement of the objectives assigned in the five-year action plan of the structure.

In the short term, our objectives are to

-The membership of at least one hundred members per province out of the twenty-six ;
-The reforestation of at least two hectares per province out of the twenty-six ;
-Capacity building of youth in the life skills module, twenty-two fifty resolution, social cohesion, reforestation techniques and innovation
in waste recycling.
In the long term, we want to place youth at the center of integral development, based on practices that promote a protective ecology.
future generations.
What are your goals for the professional development experience, including the specific skills and knowledge you hope
to gain? How would you apply an experience working with a U.S. organization to your work after you return to your
home country?

My goals for the work experience in an American NGO are:

-Develop my skills in terms of planning, execution and monitoring of performance indicator levels;
-Develop practical conflict management skills in a culturally diverse environment;
-Understand the procedures that accompany the justification of funds.
Once these skills are acquired, they will help me organize the work within the NGO I lead, copying good practices that can facilitate
collaboration with other international NGOs supporting local NGOs working on community development.
Upon our return to the country, the experience we gained with the American NGO will allow us to improve the practices related to our
activities.
and that of the members of my team.
