In celebrating Africa Day with the Theme: Education Fit for the 21st Century, we bring to our information a misconstrued African proverb "A home without a woman is like a barn without a yam", that if we applied without patriarchy to our cultural beliefs and practices as well as our sociopolitical culture Africa will be of great benefit to the Africa We Want Agenda. An African continent decision making without the full inclusion of women will produce a half baked policy. This is our number education fit for the 21st Century. In light of that principle, the exclusion of widows populations in policies and allocation is a practice that must end. Hence the mission of The African Widows Summit Widows Inclusion is now!!! Make it a date, 20th - 22nd June 2024, in Zanzibar, Tanzania. 👉 Be part of history, register to participate https://lnkd.in/gvgrFubS To know more, contact: 📞+𝟮𝟯𝟰 𝟴𝟬𝟴 𝟬𝟮𝟱𝟭𝟵𝟴𝟰 +𝟮𝟯𝟰 𝟴𝟭𝟳 𝟲𝟭𝟯𝟴𝟮𝟵𝟬 +𝟮𝟯𝟳 𝟲𝟳𝟬 𝟮𝟱𝟬 𝟳𝟱𝟳 +𝟮𝟱𝟱 𝟳𝟭𝟲 𝟮𝟭𝟰 𝟲𝟴𝟬 #theAfricanWidowsSummit #taws24 #taws_africa #theAfricaWeWant #Africanunion #widowsinclusion #widowsagenda #awidowswindowafrica #AfricaRising #Agenda2063 #africanwidowsunion #Africanwome #sustainablefinance #healthinsuranceadvisor #AfricaDay #yearofeducation

Happy #AfricaDay! This year's theme by the African Union “Education Fit for the 21st Century,” is one that’s so easy to support. As someone who loves sharing innovation and ideas from developing nations on the global stage, this initiative really sticks with me. Education and youth engagement are the drivers of change. But let’s not forget to celebrate the continent’s incredible history and human diversity. With centuries of historical innovation in sustainability, disability advocacy, and a rich cultural heritage, Africa has so much to share with the world. And a day or a year is hardly sufficient to educate the world on all that Africa has brought into it. Check out how you can be a part of #AfricaDay and the #YearOfEducation: https://lnkd.in/ev8NfQBc P.S: I have to say however, the tagline “Educate an African fit for the 21st Century” did make me raise an eyebrow. But hey, language can be tricky sometimes! Perhaps it’s also the world that needs better education by recognising the incredible power of African diversity, ingenuity, and accomplishment in this 21st century. #Education #Innovation #YouthEngagement #Diversity

Happy International Day of the African Child #IDAC2024 Amidst all challenges in many African Countries, education still remains the only hope and road to success for African Children. I envision a day where the #AfricanChild shall rise against all odds of poverty to conquer the highest levels of education in this planet. A day where the African Girl Childs future shall be equally focused despite challenging circumstances surrounding her such as Teen pregnancy and Early Marriages. The African Continent shall win when children have unlimited access to education. Educated children are likely to increase their potential and prepare themselves for productive and fulfilling lives as well as reduce poverty in their communities. Let education be our main backbone towards Sustainable Development. Africa shall rise. A forward looking and backward linking Africa will be determined by how well Educational opportunities are provided to African Children #EducationForAllAfricanChildren #SDGs #Education UNESCO UNICEF

Over the past two decades, African Governments have made remarkable strides in education. According to UNICEF, completion rates[1] in Africa between 2020 and 2022 have increased from: 52 to 69 per cent in primary education 35 to 50 per cent in lower secondary education 23 to 33 percent in upper secondary education Today, more children are in school than ever before, and completion rates have increased across all levels. Despite the progress made in achieving Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 4 on ensuring inclusive and equitable education, significant challenges persist.

As we approach Youth Day on June 16th, it’s a time to honour the courage and sacrifice of the young heroes of the Soweto Uprising in 1976. Their fight against an unequal education system marked a pivotal moment in our history, igniting a spark that would eventually lead to the downfall of apartheid. Yet, while we commemorate their bravery, we must also turn our attention to the present challenges facing our youth. Despite the strides we’ve made, unemployment remains a stark reality for many young South Africans. With a staggering 45.5% unemployment rate among young people aged 18-34 years, it’s clear that the battle for equality and opportunity is far from over. The lack of quality education, economic inequality, and limited job prospects continue to hinder the potential of our youth. As we celebrate Youth Day, let’s also commit to creating a future where every young person has the chance to thrive. Let’s invest in education, foster entrepreneurship, and build a society that values the contributions of its youth. Together, we can turn the tide on unemployment and ensure that the legacy of the Soweto Uprising lives on—not just in memory, but in the opportunities, we create for the next generation. #YouthDay #SouthAfrica #Unemployment #Empowerment #Education

#CFKAfrica emphasizes four models to support young people in informal settlements, which include; ▶ Empowering girls and young women facing challenges such as violence against women, teenage pregnancy, early marriage, and inequitable access to education.  ▶ Engaging youth through sports, which is a powerful tool for fostering social change and youth development. ▶ Increasing employment opportunities. ▶ Improving mental health which rises due to ongoing stress and a lack of resources and opportunities.

Celebrating International Youth Day with UNICEF Libya's Youth Advisory Group 🎉   It was an honor to be invited by the UNICEF Libya office to facilitate a session with their Youth Advisory Group in celebration of the International Youth Day. Drawing on my past experiences participating in international platforms, I led a discussion focused on three key themes:   1. The importance of staying informed on global trends and the international dialogue. By tuning into these broader conversations, we can better amplify our collective voice.   2. The power of bringing our unique perspectives and lived experiences to the table. We, the Libyan youth, have invaluable insights to share that can shape meaningful change.    3. The transformative potential emerges when youth come together in cooperative, supportive networks. By opening doors for one another and strengthening communication, we multiply our impact.   As an individual deeply committed to youth empowerment, partaking in this activity was a true embodiment of the International Youth Day celebration. Thank you, UNICEF Libya, for providing this platform to elevate the strength of youth voices. When we work together, there is no limit to what we can achieve ✊🏻.
