#WorldEnviromentDay2020: @cyoli2, we promised to plant 2400 trees in Juba over the next 12 months. Our first tree nursery, with lots of plant species, is established. Join us by picking one tree and see it grow to maturity.
“Let’s not wait for the last fish to be caught; let’s not wait for the last river to be poisoned; let’s not wait for the last tree to die.” The Consortium of Youth Organisations for Local Interventions @CYOLI2 calls for environmental protection and commits to planting 2400 trees.
The Consortium of Youth Organizations for Local Intervention @Cyoli2 petitioned the ministry of environment on the #WorldEnvironmentDay for proper waste management and we received positive response from the undersecretary and his team. Thanks You.
Thanks so much Mr. Undersecretary, together we shall plant millions of tree species in South Sudan, mobilise local resources and efforts to appreciate waste management and create a safe environment for all.
It's worse here in South Sudan where 52 percent of girls are married before 18 and 9 percent married under 15 years of age (#HRW 2013). Conflict and mobility; high rates of illiteracy; and harmful social (gender) norms among others account for high prevalence of child marriage.
Also important to understand drivers of social and political mobility to accelerate women's participation in decision-making. #IISConsulting has been trying to understand factors behind this - most of them #constipating for policy.
