Addis Ababa, Ethiopia Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH Country: Ethiopia Organization: Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH Closing date: 26 May 2024 Brief information on the project The German Government is supporting Kenyan government to host the Africa Climate Summit and to deliver post summit related activities including branding Kenyan pavilion at COP28 to disseminate the outcome of ACS23. The Summit brought together leadership from African governments, development partners, intergovernmental organisations, private sector, women, youth, children's groups, research institutions, Think-Tanks and Civil Society Organisations (CSOs) to design and catalyze actions and solutions for climate change in Africa. This inaugural Summit provided a platform to deliberate on the nexus of climate change, Africa’s development reality, and the need to push for increased investment in climate action globally and specifically in Africa. The Summit presents a bold and ambitious new African vision for a green economic transformation that optimises the continent’s abundant human and natural resources and integrates enhanced climate adaptation and mitigation outcomes. It is an opportunity to promote effective climate action that enhances livelihoods, accelerates growth and helps Africa avoid being locked out of international markets and lock-in emission intensive development. The Summit ensured Africa’s voice is elevated globally and integrated into existing international fora such as UNGA, G7/G20 processes, and UNFCCC (United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change) COP28, among others.

We create safe spaces for girls, sharing facts and answering questions about health, nutrition, education, and relationships, empowering girls with the skills to negotiate and redefine what they are told is possible “for a girl”. Our reach is 50 million and counting. And we’re using technology to reach girls at scale so every girl can choose to be in control of her body, her health, her learning and her livelihood. Because when a girl unlocks her power to make different choices that change her life, it inspires others to do so too. She starts a ripple effect that impacts her family, community, and country. That’s the Girl Effect.
