It is great to see your entry in the competition. I am a Youth Action Net Global Fellow from 2006. Congratulations on all your great work!
How did you engage the local government and convince them to work with you? I know that it is sometimes a struggle to convince adults, government and other "authorities" to take youth initiatives seriously. Can you share the story of how you made this partnership happen and potentially provide some advice for other youth who are trying to engage local government?
What exactly are the resources you need to upscale and spread your work?
Thank you for your response and keep up the great work.
