Peace is a shared responsibility of all citizens & stakeholders, and the private sector is an important partner. CDD-Ghana & @UNDPGhana's private sector forum seeks to allow the exchange of ideas on initiatives that will lead to preserving a peaceful & politically stable nation.

During the Voluntary National Reviews on the progress made towards the implementation of the #SDGs, the role of #foundations is often left unnoticed. But why it is important to include foundations into the #VNR process? Read the blog by @Kwekudebrah: https://t.co/RIu6ruOKxv

As part of growing the ecosystem for strategic giving, we have been nurturing the growth of indigenous philanthropy, working with partners to set up the local umbrella organisation Philanthropy and Impact Investing Network Ghana @PhilSDGs #LiftUpPhilanthropy #AfricanPhilanthropy

We have been working with government and relevant players within the philanthropy ecosystem to provide entry point for Foundations to invest in the SDGs @PhilSDGs #LiftUpPhilanthropy #AfricanPhilanthropy

“If philanthropy networks continue to work as effective intentional communities, the world would be smaller and the SDGs within reach.” Reflection from the @wings_info 2019 conference in Jamaica @PhilSDGs @InfoAPN @AypConference @MoiyattuBanya

Africa Philanthropy Network could be a rallying point for engaging foundations in the VNR process across the continent @InfoAPN @TengaStigmata @PhilSDGs #Oaxaca2030

Governments can learn from how Ghana’s SDG implementing and monitoring architecture have created a pathway for philanthropic impact to be included in the VNR @PhilSDGs @bemefa @Partners4Review @InfoAPN @TengaStigmata #Oaxaca2030

Foundations can support the VNR process with technical capacity and also engage in monitoring and advocacy ⁦@Kwekudebrah⁩ ⁦@Partners4Review⁩ ⁦@CSOPlatformSDG⁩ #Oaxaca #P4ROaxaca #2030Agenda #VNRs

Qualitative narrative is as important as quantitative in VNR reporting. The story behind the numbers give a full picture of achievements and challenges in SDG implementation. Honesty is key! @Partners4Review @bemefa @CSOPlatformSDG #oaxaca2030 #VNR2019

Governments should see the CSO shadow report on the VNR as complementary rather than antagonistic! It is not intended to embarrass governments. @bemefa @CSOPlatformSDG @Partners4Review #Oaxaca2030 #VNR2019

Human rights reporting should be key element of VNR @Partners4Review @bemefa @CSOPlatformSDGOaxaca @UNDPGhana @PhilSDGs #Oaxaca2030 #leavingnoonebehind

Working with the SDGs enhances credibility of the philanthropy sector @wings_info @PhilSDGs @RockPhilanth

These two weeks the international focus is on SDG budgeting and financing. Last week at the @WorldBank in DC this week at @UNECOSOC in NY. Just got of the first country webinar on sharing methods, this time between #Ghana and #Mexico. Very exciting times for #SDG #FfD

Met @PeterHeadCBE, who wrote text for #SDG11, #SustainableCities, in #Davos in February, and invited him back to Ghana. A bussy week ended today with @Kwekudebrah gathering the #SDGimpact ecosystem for resource mobilization for #SDGs, here we and Amma Gyampo gave presentations.

@Kwekudebrah @hildeopoku @UNDPGhana @PhilSDGs @PeterHeadCBE Nice work Isaac. That's the way knowledge should be flowing way more often - from Ghana outward!

A systems approach is key to #DRR @globalgoals #newurbanagenda #ParisAgreement and Ghana is lining up a steering system of metrics to align projects and 4 year planning cycle national/district to deliver targets. It is very impressive! @unisdr

Ghana’s unique SDG budgeting approach reaffirms resource alignment to the #SDGs. Developed countries are already showing interest in learning. Exchange from global south to global north! Exciting times! @hildeopoku @UNDPGhana @PhilSDGs @PeterHeadCBE
