Derick Matsengarwodzi

My name is Derick Matsengarwodzi, a versatile award-winning writer and editor, with a continental and global media experience. Currently, I am a communication consultant, working on campaigns to enhance the European Union’s visibility in Zimbabwe.

Over the years, I have gained international editorial and communication experience, while working with the Zimbabwe Congress of Trade Union (ZCTU), the United Nation Information Centre (UNIC) in Harare, and as a Korea-Africa Foundation (KAF) African Continent Correspondent. During that time, I crafted internal and external reports, statements, managing website and social media pages, including the design, editing and fact-checking of various documents.

As an editor, I use my global contacts and experience to get insights and data on current, trending issues, including the environment, mining, business, health, among others. To date, my work has created valuable, interactive content that seeks to transform global audiences in women’s rights, climate justice, healthcare, among others. Over the years, I have established a strong online footprint, crafting engaging, simplified content, relevant to different platforms.

Additionally, I have strengths in working and contributing to local, regional and international media, collaborating with different experts, and personalities from diverse backgrounds and cultures. In my role as editor, writer and consultant, I conduct research, brainstorm, manage creatives, manage campaign execution, edit and fact check.
