I am thrilled to have had the opportunity to co-host the Financial Literacy Conference organized by the UEW-SRC in collaboration with the All Africa Student Union on the theme "Financial Literacy: A Journey of Discovery and Creativity." It was an incredible experience connecting with such distinguished speakers: Theophilus Senyo Ackorlie – Financial Officer, UEW Albert Prempeh Kusi – CEO, Leads Group Alhassan Yusif Trawule (CA, MCIT, Ch. FE, M. CFIA, MCOM) – Training & Development Manager, ICAG Patience Mansa Gakpetor – Assistant Research Scientist, CSIR Emmanuel Kwamina Idun (MBA) – Head, Sales and Distribution, INVESTCORP The insights they shared were invaluable, and I took away some key lessons on financial literacy that I'd love to pass along: 💡 Budgeting is essential to staying on track with your financial goals. 💡 Saving & investing even small amounts consistently can lead to long-term financial security. 💡 Managing debt is all about finding the right balance—using it wisely without falling into its traps. 💡 Financial education is no longer optional; it's a vital skill to navigate the complexities of modern finance. I am truly grateful to have been a part of this event, contributing to a discussion that is so critical for young professionals and students alike. Let’s continue empowering one another with the knowledge that will help us all thrive financially! #FinancialLiteracy #Empowerment #PersonalFinance #UEWSRC #BudgetingBasics #InvestmentTips #PublicSpeaking #LeadershipJourney #MCing #FinancialEducation #Communication #Publicspeaking

Day 2: We delved into the IATI Standard and tools, enhancing our understanding of how to make aid data more accessible and usable. Day 3: We focused on strategic planning, considering emerging trends in the financing landscape and global geopolitics. We discussed the need for a dynamic approach to ensure IATI remains at the forefront of aid transparency.
