“So I tried the third time, and here I am. Simwanda, overcoming her disappointment from earlier unsuccessful attempts, learned what they had done differently on their applications. … I got to network with other people and through the network I met a lot of different people,” she said.

The Zambian YALI Network coordinator “would contact us and host seminars for us on how to apply and link us with the alumni that came and their experience and how they applied. Through her participation, Simwanda discovered local events with Fellows where she learned tips on how to improve her application and understand what the recruiters were looking for.

Zambian Fellow Mwanga Simwanda said the YALI Network “really made it possible for me because they got in touch with me after my first application, and through the Zambian Embassy I received a lot of emails allowing me to network with other people and the Zambian YALI alumni.” I spent something like five hours a week on the YALI Network and Face2Face pages to see what people are doing in their communities.” Rita Zaumu from Cameroon said, “The Network helped me a lot because the past Fellows … gave a lot of heads-up about how to go about applying for the fellowship. Several 2016 Fellows whose previous applications had not been successful found different ways to use the YALI Network to get advice, feedback or other help with their next attempts.
