Specifically, this collaboration among other things seeks to:

  2. Develop an SDG-based Programme for students, NGOs, Executive Directors and Government Operatives.
  3. Support policy research and analysis in relation to Sustainable Development Policy Center of Millennium Promise;
  4. Jointly mobilize resources for research work emanating from the partnership.

MPA in partnership with UEW was selected to represent Ghana (together with Morocco and Turkey) for the SDSN Youth Global Schools Program pilot to create SDG-aligned curriculums at the national level.

The Global Schools Program is an initiative led by the UN Sustainable Development Solutions Network – Youth Initiative (SDSN Youth) in support of UNESCO’s Global Action Program on Education for Sustainable Development (GAP-ESD).
