According to the Convenor, Nana Yaa Serwaa Sarpong, the organisation will work with men, HeForShe champions, CSOs, corporate institutions, and local and international development organisations to bring all women and women’s groups together (especially those at the grassroots level) to foster the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) across Africa.
Nana Yaa Serwaa Sarpong said this summit stands for the development of new perspectives and catalytic ideas towards accelerating growth for the achievement of the SDGs, including Gender Equality.
According to her, she believes women are best positioned for ethical leadership and to lead the drive for the achievement of the SDGs, so that “they could leave this world in a better shape than everyone came to meet it.”
“And that we must achieve this through the collaborative efforts of both men and women. We redefine INCLUSION to include working hand in hand with our men. We work with all persons, bodies and HeForShe Champions to fast-track the achievement of the SDGs and to bridge the inequality gaps. We encourage our men to stand with our women. Together we stand, divided we fall,” she concluded.
Nana Yaa Serwaa Sarpong, an accomplished media practitioner celebrating 26 years of experience in media this year, is the General Manager of EIB Network, an entrepreneur, an international trade and business consultant, and also an ordained pastor of Eternal Life Church Global.
