how we add value
AWACN aligns with two key Sustainable Development Goals namely, Gender Equality (SDG 5) and Substantially Reducing Corruption (SDG 16.5). We further align with Agenda 2063’s (Aspiration 3) to create an Africa of Good Governance and (Aspiration 6) for the creation of Africa whose development is people driven, relying on the potential offered by African people, especially its Women and Youth and caring for children.
Aspiration 3: An Africa of good governance, democracy, respect for human rights, justice and the rule of law
Aspiration 6: An Africa, whose development is people-driven, relying on the potential of African people, especially its women and youth, and caring for children.
SDG 5 Gender equality is not only a fundamental human right, but a necessary foundation for a peaceful, prosperous and sustainable world. There has been progress over the last decades, but the world is not on track to achieve gender equality by 2030. Commitment and bold action are needed to accelerate progress, including through the promotion of laws, policies, budgets and institutions that advance gender equality.
Sustainable Development Goal 16 (SDG 16 or Global Goal 16) is about “peace, justice and strong institutions.”One of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals established by the United Nations in 2015, the official wording is: “Promote peaceful and inclusive societies for sustainable development, provide access to justice for all and build effective, accountable and inclusive institutions at all levels”.
