🔭Reimagining Aid: Varied Approaches ✍🏾Key Takeaways from Daniele Nyirandutiye , the Deputy Mission Director USAID _ “Localization is reimagining trust. “We are pulling away from thinking what could go wrong to what could go right.” _ “The current state of development work can be likened to speeding on a highway, potentially missing some exits along the way.” _ “While donors may have overlooked certain aspects at times, there is ongoing introspection to address emerging issues within the system; some are making U-turns, and others are rerouting to make necessary changes to navigate the development path more effectively.” _ #ReimaginingAidDecolonization - STIR Education The Global Fund for Community Foundations Women Solidarity Initiative Uganda Backup Uganda Future Generation Foundation

🌍 ✨ Empowering young adolescents to advocate for, and take action on the SDGs by the United Nations is essential for fostering a sustainable, equitable, and prosperous future. It ensures that the next generation is prepared, motivated, and equipped to continue the work towards achieving these global goals. With the opportunity afforded me through my participation in the SDG Advocacy Programme by UN SDSN Youth - Nigeria and SDSN Youth by extension, I explicitly taught the key components of the 2030 agenda to these young change makers of Anglican Comprehensive Secondary School, Kubwa, Abuja Nigeria. The key components of the 2030 agenda being: 1. People 👫 End poverty and hunger in all forms, ensuring that all human beings can fulfill their potential in dignity and equality and in a healthy environment. 2. Planet 🌎 Protect the planet from degradation through sustainable consumption and production, managing natural resources, and taking urgent action on climate change to support the needs of present and future generations. 3. Prosperity 💰 Ensuring that all people can enjoy prosperous and fulfilling lives and that economic, social, and technological progress occurs in harmony with nature. 4. Peace ☮️ Promote peaceful, just, and inclusive societies free from fear and violence. As there can be no sustainable development without peace, and no peace without sustainable development. 5. Partnership ♾️ Global partnership for sustainable development, based on a spirit of strengthened global solidarity, focused on the needs of the poorest and most vulnerable, and with the participation of all countries, stakeholders, and people. These young change makers also took a pledge to promote and educate others around them about the SDG goals. With so much to look forward to, and as we approach 2030, I commit to helping young individuals interested in making active contributions to the attainment of the global goals, understand the dynamics and core principles, while also helping them find their place as they engage. ✨🤍🌍 #sdggoals #2030agenda #nopoverty #zerohunger #genderequality #reducedinequalities #goodhealthandwellbeing #climateaction

#AkumActForEducation "Africa has a complex past that has left parts of it with linguistic fragmentation, conflict, poverty and malnutrition that have weighed heavily on the education systems’ ability to ensure universal primary completion and foundational learning ", noted Mr. Albert Nsengiyumva Executive Secretary of Association for the Development of Education in Africa (ADEA). Today, the dual crises of conflict and climate change worsen these challenges, disrupting access to quality education for millions of children. Violence and extreme weather have forced schools to close, leaving generations at risk. At AKUMA, our #AkumActForEducation campaign calls for urgent action to tackle these pressing issues and ensure education remains central to Africa’s progress. Join us in advocating for sustainable and inclusive education solutions. #ProtectEducation #SafeSchools #AkumActForEducation #FundEducation #akumabooks #akumactforeducation #africa #sdg4 #youth #education #qualityeducation #fundeducation #TheAfricaWeWant #EducationForAll
