Our theory of change is rooted in the belief that progress starts from within communities. Through years of sustained and equitable engagement, communities gain the power to direct their advancement beyond our presence. If community-driven development is incubated to the point of self-propagation, 20 million Africans will progress towards self-reliance by 2032. We want to see this happen.

Don't forget to RSVP for the opening of our First Nations Insights program for 2024 where we'll discuss what’s next for reconciliation and how we can redouble our efforts by centring First Nations’ voices and lived experiences, recognising and hearing truth telling, and naming and addressing racism. “Last year millions of Australians stood up to say that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people must be heard on our issues. That mission continues. Now more than ever, keep showing up and seeking out First Nations voices and perspectives,’ says Karen Mundine, CEO of Reconciliation Australia, who will be a guest on the panel alongside Prof Peter Anderson, Director Indigenous Research Unit at Griffith University, and Kate Russell, CEO, Supply Nation, in conversation with DCA CEO, Lisa Annese.

South African Government of National Unity. 15/06/2024 It's time to ditch racist ideology and focus on delivering proper services. The true measure of leadership is in action and results. Show that you can lead by prioritizing the needs of the people. Show that you can deliver by creating tangible improvements in their daily lives. Racism and hatred do nothing to solve the pressing issues we face; they don't provide jobs, food, security, or prosperity. Instead, they divide and distract us from progress. It's time to change everyone's mindsets and unite in the common goal of building a better, more inclusive future for all South Africans. Let's focus on what truly matters: effective governance, economic development, and social cohesion.

Enough is enough. We are calling on all leaders and institutions to take immediate action to make global policymaking and decision-making spaces more representative of the communities they serve. Putting more diverse perspectives around the decision-making table is the only way to ensure we don’t continue to repeat past mistakes. Young people recognize this perhaps more than anyone else, as the generation that will live with the consequences of the decisions taken today. By championing intergenerational solidarity and finding innovative solutions even in the most challenging of circumstances, young people remind us that a better world is still possible. Yet youth are nearly invisible in positions of power, and are becoming increasingly frustrated with being tokenized, marginalized and ignored. This needs to change. We need more young people represented in all spheres of decision-making — within government, at the United Nations, in civil society, private sector and academia. And they must be taken seriously. To rebuild trust and restore hope, we need to see meaningful youth engagement become the norm at all levels, backed by dedicated resourcing everywhere around the world #YouthLead #PHED African Institute for Development Policy (AFIDEP) NairoBits Trust Leah Wanjiru Muiruri Achieng Michelle Tracy Mercy Soy Janet Kanyiha Peter Ngure Clive M.

Unleash Your Inner Maverick! On this Youth Day, we not only celebrate the creativity and courage of today's youth but also pay tribute to the remarkable young voices who shaped history in South Africa. In 1976, the brave students of Soweto took a stand against oppression, igniting a movement that resonates across generations. Their resilience and determination paved the way for a new era, reminding us that youth can be the spark that ignites change. Today, we carry that spirit forward by championing bold ideas and challenging norms. To the young disruptors, rule-breakers, and change-makers of today: your courage echoes the resilience of 1976. Let's honour that legacy by forging new paths and leaving a mark on the world! #YouthDay #MaverickMinds #Brandties #DigitalMarketingSolutions

Leymah Gbowee's words are a stark reminder of the devastating impact of war, particularly on young people. Too often, youth are both victims and agents of conflict. While they bear the brunt of violence, their voices are frequently silenced in peace building processes. This #InternationalYouthDay, we reaffirm our commitment to empowering young people as catalysts for change. Their energy, innovation, and resilience are essential in building peaceful and inclusive societies. We must create spaces for young people to participate meaningfully in decision-making, conflict prevention, and post-conflict reconstruction. Learn how our program, Sister-To-Sister aims to invest in youth leadership, mentorship, and education to equip young women all around the world with the skills and knowledge needed to address the root causes of conflict: https://lnkd.in/eF7hbcTF #YouthLeadership #InvestInYouth #FeministPeacebuilding #FeministMentorship #SisterToSister
