Who is kept safe? Meet @alaa135792468, a young doctor from Sudan and a member of our WPS and YPS cohort. She began peacebuilding at 16, after a @UN workshop in Darfur on violence against women and women’s role in peace. #1325at26

On the ground in #Dakar 🇸🇳 the @GimacNetwork team continues its advocacy work at the @NGOForum & @ACHPR meetings. With #WASH as a key priority theme, we are actively engaging stakeholders to ensure gender perspectives are integrated across all discussions and outcomes. Girls' and women's experiences must remain central to policy dialogue, advocacy efforts, and community action.
Advocacy that listens! Advocacy that influences! Advocacy that delivers! @Fasngo @IpasOrg @IPPFAR @AcdhrsOrg @BinetaDOfficial @AWLNetwork @REWIB_Africa @ACCORD_online @WILDAFAO @FAWEAfrica @unwomenAU @AU_WGYD @OHCHR_ESARO @OIFrancophonie @UNDPAfrica @TheAR_Trust @FemnetProg @amwaafrika1 @elisah_mbiza @CoumbaFallVenn @mpc_ug @mkubvoruno @WorldVisionAULO @PlanAULiaison @aphrc @keziehelen @RehemaMalole @GimacYouth @RozariaConnects @IST_Uganda @ActionAid @Oxfam @Equipop_Ong

GIRL HOUR: Remember to affirm girls with positivity as a way of building their agency. #GirlsFirstSummit #GirlRising
My People and Culture Association retweeted
One girl with courage is a revolution. #Storytelling #GirlsFirstSummit
We opened with Girl Hour — practitioners in conversation with girls. Not to teach. To listen. One of the most powerful parts of the whole day.
#GirlHour #GirlsFirstSummit @girlrising
This journey has been long in the making, from My People and Culture Association's first steps with @girlrising back in 2024 to today, walking away with our Girls First Institute Advanced Certification in working to ensure that girls everywhere are respected, educated and hear.
At the heart of it all: agency. Every tool, every conversation, every challenge to our own assumptions all in service of centering girls and building their power to shape their own futures.
Grateful to the facilitators, fellow practitioners and this growing community of feminist leaders across Uganda. Long journey, lasting impact. 💛

This week we feature @Jeffahchukwuma, a pioneering Nigerian women’s rights advocate who has spent decades challenging violence against women & girls.
Through @ProjectalertVaw, she has worked to turn advocacy into practical protection, support & access to justice for survivors.

What does Africa need to secure sustainable water and safe sanitation for everyone?!
The answer goes far beyond pipes, pumps and treatment plants.
#Water and #sanitation are connected to #energy, #agriculture, #publichealth, climate resilience, ecosystems, financing, #governance, #peace and #security, and the realities communities face every day.
That’s why the ECOSOCC Infrastructure & Energy Sectoral Cluster Committee, in collaboration with the Political Affairs Cluster, is convening a two-session webinar series on the 2026 AU Theme of the Year:
“Assuring Sustainable Water Availability and Safe Sanitation Systems to Achieve the Goals of #Agenda2063.”
SESSION 1 | 3 SEPTEMBER 2026: zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_…
Ground Realities, Water Governance and Territorial Inequalities
We’ll look at Africa’s current water and sanitation realities, including infrastructure and energy gaps, #climate pressures, public health, water governance, transboundary challenges and community experiences.
SESSION 2 | 15 OCTOBER 2026: zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_…
Integrated Solutions, Water Diplomacy and Policy Recommendations
The second session will focus on practical responses, including resilient infrastructure, financing, wastewater reuse, ecosystem protection, decentralized systems, water diplomacy, governance and civil society participation.
🕐 13:00 UTC | 15:00 CAT | 16:00 EAT
💻 Virtual
The sessions will bring together ECOSOCC members, Cluster Chairs, African and international experts, practitioners, civil society representatives and invited speakers.
