SDGs Rapid Fire Presentations

The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are a universal call to action to end poverty, protect the planet, and ensure that all people enjoy peace and prosperity by 2030. Ghana has been actively integrating these goals into its national development agenda, aiming to achieve significant progress across various sectors. This session will provide an in-depth overview of the current state of the implementation and achievement in Ghana from the perspective of young people.

YDG Delegates have been tasked with researching and providing insights into the implementation and achievement of the SDGs in Ghana. The session will take the form of a “rapid fire” presentation, culminating in a call to action for Ghanaian youth to contribute to the implementation of the SDGs in Ghana.
