From March 3rd to 6th, key partners of the Break Free Africa Program—including SRHR Africa Trust (SAT), Plan International, and Rozaria Memorial Trust—are gathering at Park Inn by Radisson, Nairobi, for a crucial Outcome Harvesting Meeting. This meeting provides a platform to review progress in lobbying and advocacy (L&A) and refine strategies to strengthen youth empowerment, gender equality, and sexual and reproductive health rights (SRHR) across Africa.

Reflecting on Achievements in Lobbying & Advocacy
Since the inception of the Break Free Program, advocacy efforts have been instrumental in influencing policies and fostering youth-led change. During the meeting, partners are:
✅ Taking stock of milestones achieved in lobbying for SRHR and gender-responsive policies.
✅ Reviewing best practices and challenges encountered in advocacy campaigns.
✅ Evaluating policy shifts and stakeholder engagement outcomes in targeted regions.
Strategizing for Future Impact

As the program moves forward, discussions will center around:
📌 Strengthening advocacy strategies to drive policy change at national and regional levels.
📌 Enhancing partnerships and collaboration among civil society, governments, and youth-led organizations.
📌 Aligning program goals with emerging priorities in SRHR and gender equality advocacy.

A Commitment to Lasting Change
The Break Free Africa Outcome Harvesting Meeting is not just about reflecting on past efforts—it is about refining approaches to ensure sustainable advocacy. With shared knowledge and renewed strategies, the program continues to empower young people, amplify their voices, and push for policies that uphold SRHR, gender equality, and youth rights.
