Bawumia"s Full Speech: Ghana’s Next Chapter: Selfless Leadership And Bold Solutions For The Future

It would be great to participate in the brief as it focuses on making sure that we talk about the POWER of intergenerational discussions in shaping a future of global progress. Here's why it's crucial for civil society to bring youth and older generations together: 1️⃣ Bridging Divides: By fostering dialogue between generations, civil society can break down barriers, build understanding, and promote unity in pursuit of sustainable progress. 2️⃣ Diverse Perspectives: Youth bring fresh ideas and innovation, while older generations offer wisdom and experience. Together, we can find holistic solutions to complex challenges. 3️⃣ Mentorship & Learning: Older generations can mentor and guide youth, while young people can inspire with their energy and enthusiasm. It's a two-way street of learning and growth. 4️⃣ Collective Action: When we come together across generations, we amplify our impact and drive positive change that benefits all members of society. Let's harness the power of intergenerational collaboration to shape a future where everyone thrives! 💪 #IntergenerationalDialogue #CivilSociety #UNCSO2024 #SustainableProgress

This week, a powerful vision for Africa’s future leadership took shape with the launch of the African School of Governance - ASG in Kigali, Rwanda. Founded by H.E. President Paul Kagame, H.E. Hailemariam Desalegn, and a coalition of prominent African leaders, ASG is set to deliver world-class public policy education, research, and engagement programs designed specifically for the unique governance challenges across Africa. We’re also thrilled to congratulate Professor Kingsley Moghalu on his appointment as the inaugural President of ASG. His distinguished track record in governance, policymaking, and academia will no doubt be instrumental in steering this visionary institution forward. As a Pan-African institution with a global outlook, ASG’s mission is to equip emerging leaders with the skills, knowledge, and mindset to drive sustainable change across the continent. With support from the Mastercard Foundation and partnerships with global leaders in governance education like the Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy, ASG is committed to cultivating purpose-driven African leaders. Why ASG Matters: 1. Tailored Programs: Academic pathways include a Master of Public Administration (MPA), Executive Master of Public Administration (EMPA), and specialized leadership fellowships that meet Africa’s governance needs at every stage of career development. 2. Research & Policy Engagement: With research centres focused on African-led innovations in policy, trade, technology, and regional integration, ASG is a hub for tackling Africa’s most pressing issues through actionable solutions. 3. Visionary Leadership: Guided by Professor Moghalu and a distinguished board led by Makhtar Diop, ASG is positioned to redefine governance excellence across the continent. The ASG isn’t just an educational institution—it’s a movement towards sustainable African leadership that will ensure African voices lead on the global stage. #GovernanceInAfrica #AfricaSchoolOfGovernance #Leadership #ASG #AfricaRising #PublicPolicy #SustainableDevelopment #EducationInnovation #YoungAfricaWorks #AfriTradePulse

"at the root of #Nigeria’s many challenges in the #publicsector, there's a dire need for men and women who can lead a reformed #publicservice space armed with the required skills to drive #development in Africa ~ if the public sector is able to have personnel with effective #leadershipskills and abilities, #Africa would be not only be able to take its rightful place in the committee of continents, but also move from its present state of #underdevelopment to join advanced nations." ~ Aigboje Aig-Imoukhuede | #Vanguard Aig-Imoukhuede Foundation #CivilService #Reforms #Leadership #Skills #SustainableDevelopment https://lnkd.in/dDVgMkFf

🌍 Here we are. Back in #Kigali for the Africa CEO Forum - the largest annual gathering of Africa's private sector. I am thrilled to host this new edition in #Rwanda. On top of having one of the steadiest growth rates in Africa, the country has kept churning out inspiring economic success stories. Rwanda shows that if Africa doesn’t want to land “on the menu” of the world’s leading economies and have "a place at the table" of global negotiations, it needs to give an absolute priority to #leadership, #governance, and #accountability. For that, the continent needs transformative agendas. And it is my absolute pleasure to see leaders, innovators, and changemakers seizing the opportunity to craft those agendas during those two days. 🙌 #ACF2024
