Akili Dada is a leadership incubator anchored on the belief that African girls and young women CAN and DO and WILL LEAD. Our mission is to nurture transformative leadership in girls and young women from underserved and under-resourced backgrounds to meet the urgent need for more young African women in leadership.

In context to the Generation Equality Forum, Akili Dada is leveraging the Government of Kenya’s commitment at the ICPD 25 Summit as well as the governments’ subsequent commitment as a country lead on the Gender-Based Violence Action - Generation Equality Forum Action Coalition to call for the acceleration, implementation, and accountability by the government commitments to:

1. Enact favourable laws and policies that guarantee and protect the realization of girls’ and women’s rights.

2. Model and eliminate the discrimination of women and girls as exacerbated by harmful cultural practices and norms.

3. Champion multi-stakeholder support for strategies that will facilitate political and public buy-in for the elimination of gender-based violence.

Webinar 1:

• The status of gender Equality and GBV in Kenya

• The role of young women and girls in the acceleration, implementation, and accountability of the Generation Equality Forum Action Coalition commitments by the Kenyan government

• The function of intergenerational dialogues in realizing gender equality and eliminating GBV in Kenya

Webinar 2:

• The significance of Bodily Autonomy and Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights

• The role of young women and girls in facilitating access and delivery of comprehensive sexuality education in and out of school

• The actions required to influence gender norms change, increase knowledge of rights and empower girls and women to make autonomous decisions about their bodies, sexuality and reproduction

• How can young women collaborate with government to realize this commitment?

Generation Equality: Intergenerational Dialogue Webinar Series 2021

Climate change is a global phenomenon but Africa remains the most vulnerable. This is because there is growing body of evidence that attempts to demonstrate the nexus between climate change and peace and security trends in Africa. Within this discourse, there is a recognition that there is no causal relationship between climate change and violent conflict. However, climate change could contribute to and exacerbate pre-existing vulnerabilities between and within states and communities.  

The objective of this panel is to adopt a risk-based approach, and provide a snapshot on the emerging climate change related security risks and trends in Africa. It will also provide concrete examples of national, regional and continental responses with support of UNDP, to mitigate and adapt to such risks. The event will contribute to the wider discussion on the nexus between climate and security.  

The event will showcase UNDPs activities with regional, sub-regional and national actors that are being fast-tracked in Africa in order to effectively address climate related security risks.

Old wine in new bottle? Nexus between climate, security and fragility in Africa

Waste management infrastructure is failing to keep up with the global increase in plastic production and use. Sorting and recycling remain challenging globally, and in emerging markets collection services are extremely limited. Many emerging economies, particularly in South-East Asia, are also recipients of exported plastic waste, which does not help the plastic pollution crisis. The benefits of plastic are clear, but the imbalance between plastic production and waste management is having a devastating effect on marine life, as well as impacting coastal communities and marine tourism.

Beach cleanups and campaigns against single-use plastic have raised public awareness. A focus on waste management infrastructure, however, is required to remedy the plastic pollution crisis.

This Insight Hour will address the role of plastics producers and corporates in supporting waste collection and recycling systems in emerging markets. The speakers will highlight enhanced producer responsibility (EPR) initiatives in Africa and recycling projects in Asia. They will discuss the need for collaboration throughout the value chain to drive positive change and develop the plastics circularity roadmap.

Key topics for discussion:
<ul>
 	<li>Collaboration on finance/investment in waste management infrastructure and recycling technologies</li>
 	<li>Collaboration on waste collection and sorting (to include the role of technology, regulation and incentives)</li>
 	<li>Collaboration on consumer education</li>

At this event, WRI experts will present findings and recommendations from a new World Resources Institute report “Food Systems at Risk: Transformative Adaptation for Long-Term Food Security.” The report’s authors will show how climate change is increasingly threatening and straining the world’s food systems and outline adaptation measures needed to address these challenges.

Specifically, the event will highlight the important need for increased planning for and investment in long-term, transformative adaptation, especially where agriculture, fishing, and herding systems are most at risk. While incremental adaptation measures are essential, they will be increasingly insufficient to avert loss and damage in farming and herding communities.

Join an interactive discussion to find out the steps governments, funders and researchers can take now to ensure long-term food security for a global population that will reach 9.7 billion by 2050.

Food Systems at Risk: Why Transformative Adaptation is Needed for Long-Term Food Security

The contribution of women to Sudan’s transition is crucial to ensuring long-term peace, stability and development. In March 2020, the Transitional Government adopted its National Action Plan on women, peace and security, in line with the UN’s Resolution 1325, which reaffirms the important role of women in peace and security efforts. Earlier this year, the Cabinet also announced its priority to empower women in public affairs. Yet implementation of these commitments remains slow.

The Constitutional Charter provides for at least 40 percent representation of women in the transitional institutions, but there is currently only one woman in the fourteen member Sovereign Council, while only four out of twenty-six ministers in the Cabinet are female. In addition, Sudan’s commitment to eliminate gendered discrimination and to protect the rights of women, in particular through the ratification of the Convention on the Elimination of all Forms of Discrimination against Women (CEDAW), have been undermined by Cabinet-imposed reservations, including on equal rights in marriage, divorce and parenting. This sets a worrying precedent for the rights and protection of women in the country.

At this event, panellists will reflect on the role of women in the implementation of peace in Sudan, and discuss how to increase the participation of women in political roles and other fields. They will also examine outstanding priorities for legal reform, the impact of gender-based discrimination and the need for action to secure the rights and safety of women in the country.

The END Fund invites you to join a deep dive into groundbreaking research from the Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU), highlighting the macro-economic impact of ending sickness from parasitic worms in four sub-Saharan countries. This research was commissioned by the END Fund, a philanthropic initiative dedicated to eliminating the five most common neglected tropical diseases (NTDs). The conversation will convene experts to dissect the findings of this report, which show that treatment and prevention of parasitic worm infections is transformative for individuals and communities, and can lead to significant economic productivity gains for entire nations.

As the report highlights, preventing sickness from just two NTDs, bilharzia (also known as schistosomiasis) and soil-transmitted helminths, allows children to be more energized, attend and focus in school, and lead healthier and productive lives as adults. This in turn boosts adult productivity resulting in significant economic gains. The EIU economic modeling of Rwanda, Kenya, Ethiopia, and Zimbabwe found that productivity gains of US$5.1bn in purchasing power parity (PPP) could be realized between 2021 and 2040 if WHO targets are met for schistosomiasis and soil-transmitted helminths. During this conversation, we will explore the nuances and implications of this research and examine how enabling people to live lives free from the burden of disease ladders up in a transformative way for countries that end these preventable diseases.

October 20th, 2020 marks the 20th anniversary of the adoption of the 1325 UN Security Council Resolution on Women, Peace and Security (UNSCR1325). This resolution has the merit of giving a powerful impetus to strengthening the role of women in peace building, and making the international community more aware of the centrality of women in all stages of engineering public policies related to security and stability locally, nationally and internationally.

At the continental level, African countries and regional organizations have interacted positively with the WPS agenda, despite of the difficulties that they encountered either for technical reasons related to the lack of coordination mechanisms for implementing the agenda on the ground, or for other reasons related to the state of non-peace and insecurity that prevails in several parts of the continent.

Undoubtedly, some progresses were accomplished with regards to the institutionalization of the WPS agenda. For instance, twenty-five African countries over 81 countries worldwide set up a national plan aiming to implementing the UNSCR1325. Furthermore, the AU adopted a Continental Results Framework (CRF) for monitoring and reporting the WPS agenda in Africa.

Nevertheless, implementation of WPS agenda derives its complexity from manifold intrusive dynamics threatening human security. These embrace crisis and civil war, prevailing inequalities in decision-making on peace and security issues, recruitment in military forces, violence against women and girls as well as using females as kamikazes in the Sahel and the Lake Chad Basin.

In the light of all these considerations, the fifth edition of the African Peace &amp; Security Annual Conference (APSACO) set out to come to grips with the global issue « Women, Peace, Security », while focusing on African priorities with regards to: participation, prevention, and protection.

In this framework, more than 100 senior government officials, academics, media and civil society representatives from Africa, the Americas, Asia and Europe, as well as thinkers from around the globe, will participate in the fifth edition of APSACO, from June 21 to 23, 2021 in order to demonstrate a renewed interest in African peace and security under this year’s theme “Women, Peace and Security in Africa”.

Invisible Women, Invisible Problems

The loss of a partner is devastating. For many women around the world, especially in developing countries, that loss is magnified by a long-term struggle for their basic needs, their human rights and dignity.

The pandemic has just worsened the situation during the past several months with a devastating human loss, and one that is likely leaving tens of thousands of women newly widowed at just the time when they are cut off from their usual socio-economic and family supports.

Experience from past pandemics, for example HIV/AIDS and Ebola, shows that widows are often denied inheritance rights, have their property grabbed after the death of a partner, and can face extreme stigma and discrimination, as perceived ‘carriers’ of disease. Worldwide, women are much less likely to have access to old age pensions than men, so the death of a spouse can lead to destitution for older women. In the context of lockdowns and economic closures, widows may not have access to bank accounts and pensions to pay for healthcare if they too become ill or to support themselves and their children. With lone-mother families and single older women already particularly vulnerable to poverty, this is an area that needs urgent attention.

There are an estimated 258 million widows around the world, and nearly one in ten live in extreme poverty. But, the actual number is likely to be much higher and to grow further as the coronavirus and its related effects on health continue to rage around the world. As women they have specific needs, but their voices and experiences are often absent from policies that impact their survival.

Towards Progress for Widows

The United Nations observes 23 June as International Widows Day (<a href="http://undocs.org/A/RES/65/189" target="_blank" rel="noopener">resolution A/RES/65/189</a>) since 2011, to draw attention to the voices and experiences of widows and to galvanize the unique support that they need.

Now more than ever, this day is an opportunity for action towards achieving full rights and recognition for widows. This includes providing them with information on access to a fair share of their inheritance, land and productive resources; pensions and social protection that are not based on marital status alone; decent work and equal pay; and education and training opportunities. Empowering widows to support themselves and their families also means addressing social stigmas that create exclusion, and discriminatory or harmful practices.

Furthermore, Governments should take action to uphold their commitments to ensure the rights of widows as enshrined in international law, including the <a href="http://www.un.org/womenwatch/daw/cedaw/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women</a> and the <a href="https://www.unicef.org/crc/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Convention on the Rights of the Child</a>. Even when national laws exist to protect the rights of widows, weaknesses in the judicial systems of many States compromise how widows’ rights are defended in practice and should be addressed. Lack of awareness and discrimination by judicial officials can cause widows to avoid turning to the justice system to seek reparations.

Programmes and policies for ending violence against widows and their children, poverty alleviation, education and other support to widows of all ages also need to be undertaken, including in the context of action plans to accelerate achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals.

In post-conflict situations, widows should be brought in to participate fully in peacebuilding and reconciliation processes to ensure that they contribute to sustainable peace and security.

And in the context of COVID-19, widows must not be left out of our work to “build back better”. Let us ensure that our recovery prioritizes their unique needs and supports societies to be more inclusive, resilient and equal for all.

The power of partnerships: Development partners value creation in the healthcare sector

The bioenergy workshop is organised and led by the African Energy Commission (AFREC) in collaboration with United Nations Statistics Division (UNSTATS), International Energy Agency (IEA) and United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP)

Background Information

Biomass is an important and useful energy source in Africa, which is primarily used for cooking. With a share of almost 50% of its total energy supply, Africa is by far the world’s largest consumer continent of traditional biomass energy, based on the share of biomass in total energy consumption.

AFREC’s 2017 biomass statistics reveals that, final biomass energy consumption for Africa was around 330 Mtoe. The International Energy Agency estimated this consumption at 305 Mtoe and UNSD at 277 Mtoe. The estimate translates a huge gap of 53 Mtoe between the highest and the lowest estimations, equivalent to the overall electricity consumption for Africa, coal and natural gas consumption combined, and one third of the total oil consumption.

Hence, to improve the quality of biomass statistics and comprehend how this gap could be reduced, AFREC conducted a short survey with its Member States at the beginning of 2020 to understand how countries collect biomass data, as reflected in their annual energy balance questionnaires and report. The survey also attempted to uncover information on the availability of bio-mass resource, to measure its potential and adequacy vis-à-vis meeting the ever-growing biomass demand.

Response from the survey reveals that:
<ul>
 	<li>Nearly all countries estimate their data based often on more than 20-year-old surveys, prompting improvement in biomass energy data quality.</li>
 	<li>A few countries indicated that they have conducted a countrywide biomass study. Results reveals challenges related to its adequacy vis-à-vis demand including its acclaimed impact on the environment.</li>
 	<li>Findings from countries who conducted a demand-resource survey, reveals the urgency and need of high-quality data, which is necessary for the development and betterment of policies aimed at controlling, monitoring and reducing of biomass consumption for both health, social and environmental reasons.</li>
</ul>
Workshop Objectives

The virtual forum aims to, amongst others:
<ul>
 	<li>Provide an opportunity to discuss and explore possible ways to strengthen capacities of AFREC and AU Member State’s bioenergy data collection and / or use of existing sources of information, to provide robust estimates.</li>
 	<li>Enhance strategies aimed at creating viable bioenergy database for Africa.</li>
 	<li>Promote sustainable cooperation among member states and other key stakeholders in Africa and around the world to improve reporting, monitoring and sustainability of bioenergy resources in Africa.</li>
</ul>
Specific objectives include:
<ul>
 	<li>Sum up challenges associated with the data collection of bioenergy resources in Africa and other places;</li>
 	<li>Examine methodologies necessary for biomass data collection and/or estimations and assess the reliability of the modelling techniques, remote sensing satellites images for resource utilization and base assessment;</li>
 	<li>Identify environmental, health, economic and social impacts of the current and future demand for biomass energy;</li>
 	<li>Share experiences from Member States, regional and international organizations as well as specialized agencies involved in the bioenergy data collection;</li>
 	<li>Benchmark on available international databases for bioenergy statistics;</li>
 	<li>Recommend a strategy with an action plan aimed at creating bioenergy database for Africa;</li>
 	<li>Tap best practices from Member States, regional and international organizations in bioenergy data management.</li>
 	<li>Enable AFREC to provide policies and strategy recommendations to improve bioenergy resources data collection and validation toward building efficient and sustainable African Bioenergy database.</li>
</ul>
Participants:

AFREC’s National Focal Points nominated by the Ministries of Energy in all AU Member States, African Experts on Bioenergy from the Ministry of Environment and Regional Economic Communities (RECs). Other stakeholders and international development partners working in bioenergy statistics include: FAO, UNSD, IEA, OLADE, EUROSTAT, IAEA, World Bank, AfDB, AEEP, IRENA, WHO, Clean Cooking Alliance amongst others.
