🇰🇪 Kenya continues to stand out in the Voluntary National Reviews (#VNRs)! Today, our very own Florence Syevuo spotlights the power of citizen-generated data in tracking SDG progress. "When communities contribute their own data, the VNR process becomes more grounded and responsive."

On Day One of #ARFSD11, I was honored to share some insights on reforming the current climate financing models to increase funding to youths. The impacts of the ongoing climate crisis demand URGENT and INCLUSIVE financing mechanisms. #ARFSD2025 Coalition for Sustainable Development FEMNET

Happening now: “Strengthening the means of implementation-Interactive Dialogue with National non-state SDGs Coordination Mechanisms"; Our side event is shining a spotlight on non-state actors in the SDG coordination space. Collaboration is no longer optional — it's essential.

Accountability is key to delivering the #SDGs. Without it, progress stalls. With it, we build trust, track results, and ensure no one is left behind. Additionally, how are we ensuring people even know the #VNR process exists? Visibility is just as critical as the review itself.

At the official opening ceremony of the #ARFSD11, presided by H.E. Yoweri Museveni. "Africa is on track to achieve only 10 of the 17 SDGs. However, we also need to examine what happens after 2030 and how to accelerate youth inclusion." #ARFSD2025 FEMNET Coalition for Sustainable Development

At the #ARFSD11 side-event organized by Coalition for Sustainable Development, my call to action was "African governments must include youth in policy development, simplify procedures for registration of CSOs, and invest in the digital economy to create inclusive development for youths." #ARFSD2025

Big moment at #ARFSD11! We are wrapping up with the consideration and adoption of the key messages and Kampala Declaration, a bold statement grounded in sustainable, inclusive, science- and evidence-based solutions to drive job creation & economic growth #Agenda2030 #Agenda2063

Last week, our team was at the #ARFSD11 to discuss progress made on the implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals, and strategies to accelerate job creation in Africa.

Last week, I had an insightful time at the ARFSD, participating in panels, networking with policymakers, and sharing youth perspectives at the high-level forums. This is meaningful inclusion in action, and I'm grateful to Coalition for Sustainable Development, FEMNET and EU Mission in Kenya.
