Our second distinguished guest, Ann Vaughan on youth contribution: When it comes to tackling challenges in the agricultural space, most of the best ideas are coming from young people. In tackling these challenges, we need to ask ourselves critical questions, including: 1. What is our vision for African farmland going into the future? 2. How can Africa meet the need for healthy diet? How USAID is collaborating with African youth and women to improve their contribution in agriculture: FASA FUND: https://lnkd.in/dSxFZhHA Other local programs in Africa: https://lnkd.in/db_CYDBT Innovation Labs: https://lnkd.in/dYsp4awm #africanyouthinagriculture #RoadToCAADPplus20

ECOWAS leaders must recognize that the region's economic woes are symptoms of deeper structural issues. It's time to move beyond Band-Aid solutions and tackle the root causes of food insecurity, youth unemployment, and climate vulnerability. This requires a commitment to transformative reforms, investing in sustainable agriculture, education, and innovation, and prioritizing the needs of local communities over corporate interests. The future of West Africa depends on its ability to harness and unleash the potential of its youth to build a more resilient and equitable economy. #Ecowas #EcowasSummit #WestAfrica #EconomicTransformation #YouthEmpowerment #SustainableDevelopment https://lnkd.in/eiAaWEGD

Insects, often overlooked and underestimated, hold immense potential in driving sustainable development, particularly in the realm of food systems and livelihoods. Recognizing this, the African Institute for Capacity Development (AICAD) is proud to host the upcoming Insects for the Green Economy Conference from February 28th to 29th, 2024. Under the theme of “Sustainable Food Systems and Livelihoods in Africa,” this conference heralds a transformative initiative poised to reshape the socioeconomic landscape of the continent. Together, let us embark on this transformative path towards a greener, more prosperous tomorrow. #icipe #ICGEB #povertyalleviation #poverty #greeneconomy #research #insectfarming #insectprotein #foodinsecurity #livelihoods For Details: https://lnkd.in/dsC2Tvr7

I am proud to announce that I levelled up my skills by completing the course "Applying Integrated Policy Approaches to Accelerate the 2030 Agenda" with United Nations Institute for Training and Research (UNITAR)! This program has equipped me with essential tools to deliver SDG policy integration support to governments and help advance the 2030 Agenda. Modules from the course include: 1. Introduction to Policy Integration for the SDGs 2. Assessing SDG Alignment 3. Identifying SDG Accelerators 4. Enabling SDG Coherence and Integration The course also covered key aspects of the UN's response to the COVID-19 pandemic, including: 🦠 UN Development System's Response to the COVID-19 Pandemic 🛡️ UN Socio-Economic Framework (UNDP/ Digital Cooperation Organization (DCO) for mitigating social and economic impacts 🆘 Global Humanitarian Response Plan (GHRP) by United Nations OCHA to address health and humanitarian needs 🏥 Strategic Preparedness and Response Plan (SPRP) by World Health Organization to support public health measures 🌐 UN Country Teams’ strategic efforts for maximum impact and national objectives 
What is Integrated Policy Support for the SDGs? Integrated policy support approaches are based on systemic, whole-of-society and whole-of-government perspectives of the SDGs.

The RIA assessment can be a first step in defining a roadmap for a country to implement the SDGs. It can also be used to inform a country's Voluntary National Review (VNR) - assessing its progress in implementing the 2030 Agenda.

"The SDGs are integrated and indivisible (...) with each Government setting its own national targets guided by the global level of ambition but taking into account national circumstances."

The knowledge and skills I've gained from this course will allow me to better contribute to creating sustainable, impactful policies for a brighter future. #sdg #unitar #policyintegration #who #covid19 #sustainabilty #2030agenda

🌾 Ending Hunger through South-South Cooperation  On this #UNDay for #SouthSouthCooperation, we highlight the transformative impact of South-South and Triangular Industrial Cooperation (#SSTIC) in the fight against hunger. SSTIC is a powerful mechanism for change, equipping nations to address shared challenges through the exchange of resources, expertise, and innovative solutions. By advancing the transfer and adaptation of cutting-edge agricultural technologies—from precision farming to innovative food processing—SSTIC helps nations enhance food security and combat hunger more effectively. UNIDO reaffirms its commitment to this cause through its active role in SSTIC, ensuring sustainable development across key areas such as: 🌱 Facilitation of Technology Transfer and Adaptation  🛠️ Capacity Building and Skills Development  📜 Policy Advice and Institutional Support  🔄 Promotion of Value Addition and Agro-Industrialization  🌍 Enhancement of Market Access and Regional Integration In just two months, the World Without Hunger Conference in Ethiopia will unite global leaders to drive impactful solutions and strengthen our collective commitment to a hunger-free world. The conference will be a critical platform for advancing SSTIC’s goals, driving impactful discussions, and forging collaborative solutions to end hunger. This gathering in Ethiopia symbolizes our collective commitment to leveraging SSTIC’s strategic interactions to build a hunger-free world. 👉 Learn more: https://lnkd.in/daPDdGJU | African Union | Ethiopian Ministry of Industry(የኢፌዴሪ ኢንዱስትሪ ሚኒስቴር) | FAO |   #WorldWithoutHunger #ZeroHunger #SDGs #GlobalGoals #EndHunger #WWHC2024 #AWorldWithoutHungerIsPossible
