Chibeze Ezekiel

As part of its effort to demonstrate commitment towards the achievement of the SDGs, the government of Ghana in August 2017 inaugurated a technical committee for the execution of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the Africa Agenda 2063. The formation of the committee was the first move in the localization of the SDGs and Agenda 2063. From the foregoing, the Strategic Youth Network for Development (SYND) has analyzed the 2016 Annual Progress Reports (APRs) of 4 district assemblies out of the 216 districts, in order to ascertain the level of youth inclusion in the planning and implementation of their respective local level programmes. Additionally, the exercise sought to analyse the reporting approach of local level interventions specifically on climate change, biodiversity, forestry, energy access and gender in line with SYND’s thematic areas of work.
