We are happy to share that during the implementation of the #LocalizingSDGs project with Circus Zambia and Ghana Community Radion Network we contributed to the formulation of policy recommendations aimed at enhancing the popularity of SDGs. In Uganda, one of the standing factors is leveraging existing systems where young people are actively engaged, such as the Parish Development Model (PDM). Want to dive deeper into our findings and recommendations? Check out the document here: https://lnkd.in/ecYCRy3G CC: @CrossingBorders #LocalizingSDGs #LeavingNoOneBehind

🌍 As we delve into the pressing issue of the youth in Ghana, I want to hear from you! What are your main concerns and thoughts on this topic? How do you think we can address the challenges and harness the opportunities ahead of us? The journey to build a better Ghana is not a quick fix or a one-size-fits-all solution. It’s a long-term endeavor filled with both challenges and victories. There will be highs and lows, hard times, and moments of triumph. But through it all, it’s crucial for us as the youth to remain hopeful and actively engaged. Your voice matters. Share your concerns, ideas, and suggestions in the comments below. Let’s collectively work towards a future where our potential is realized and our challenges are met with innovation and resilience. Remember, progress takes time, and every step forward counts. Together, we can shape a brighter future for Ghana. 💪🏽 #YouthEmpowerment #GhanaFuture #ActiveEngagement #NationalDevelopment #Innovation #Resilience

It’s mission in progress for us every time we go out there to add up to Ghana/Africa’s development. We exude a deeper sense of purpose, passion, and commitment because we believe the world/Africa can be a better place through little giant strides forward everyday, everywhere. It’s a larger cause that goes beyond just completing tasks or earning a paycheck. We are mission-driven and motivated by a strong sense of duty, responsibility, and personal fulfillment in contributing to something greater than ourselves. The world deserves better, Africa deserves more and it can only come from us citizens. Let’s lead with a higher level of dedication, resilience, and satisfaction in our work, responsibilities and relationships. Mission in progress and the vision is in sight. #keepwalking

Happy Jamuhuri Day! Celebrating Kenya's Role in the Shared Value Africa Community Today, we join Kenya in celebrating Jamuhuri Day, a celebration of Kenya’s independence, resilience, and unwavering spirit of progress. This day not only marks Kenya’s journey of freedom but also its pivotal role in shaping a sustainable and inclusive future for the continent.   As a cornerstone of the Shared Value Africa Community, Kenya continues to lead by example, showcasing how purpose-driven businesses can create economic and social impact. From fostering innovation and entrepreneurship to driving conversations on equity and sustainability, Kenya is at the heart of Africa’s Shared Value movement.   On this special day, we reaffirm our commitment to working with Kenyan communities, businesses, and leaders to co-create a thriving and equitable society. Let us all draw inspiration from Kenya’s progress and take actionable steps to contribute to a better tomorrow.  #SharedValueAfrica #ProfitWithPurpose #JamuhuriDay2024 #SharedValue #Sustainability #KenyaIndependence #ImpactInnovation

Last week, Victoria Garden City (VGC) residents in Lagos, Nigeria, celebrated 30 years of a diverse community within a green environment, hosting over 10,000 people. The anniversary featured a week-long series of activities, including a charity walk, memorial service, sports events, tree planting, an awards night, and my personal favorite, the cultural carnival. Over 7 cultures were showcased, featuring dance, food, materials, and much more. African culture is incredibly diverse and rich. For example, Edo, a state in Nigeria, is home to five major ethnic groups. This mirrors the continent's extensive history, geographical diversity, and myriad ethnic groups and tribes. Africa truly is a melting pot of traditions, art, music, languages, customs, and beliefs. As Africans, we must preserve our culture for its uniqueness and authenticity. #culture #Africa #Tourism

H.E John Dramani Mahama Promises Inquiry into National Cathedral Project President John Dramani Mahama has announced an impending audit of the National Cathedral Project making it clear that spending a whopping $400 million on such a project is not in the public interest. President John Mahama has expressed strong reservations about the National Cathedral project, citing the hefty price tag of $400 million as unreasonable given Ghana's current economic circumstances. He has vowed to investigate the possible misapplication of public funds on the project, as recommended by the Commission on Human Rights and Administrative Justice (CHRAJ). Instead of continuing with the current development, President Mahama suggests that the Christian community should come together to find a way to execute the project without relying on public funds, considering a more affordable and privately financed approach. He even mentioned that the National Ecumenical Centre in Abuja, Nigeria, was built for a mere $30 million, highlighting the need for a more cost-effective solution. The President also hinted that the project's location might be reconsidered, leaving room for future discussions among the Christian community. #GlobalMinded | #Yehowa155 | #TheYoungEnvoy | #Hope4Africa | #Ghana | #PresidentMahama | #ResettingGhana | #NationalCathedral | #CHRAJRecommendations | #Sankofa | #GyeNyame | #NyameDua | #Dwennimen | #ResultsOnly
