[Africa Centre For Development Journalism @Dev_Journalism]

This year we are commemorating 75 years of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) which enshrines the right to seek, receive & impart #information & #ideas through any #media for all people

The theme for this years World Development Information Day... is the mobilisation of public opinion for Sustainable Development Goals.

You may ask why we need to mobilise public opinion for the #SDGs?

The reason is that half way to the 2030 deadline (for the SDGs) we are on track to meet only 15% of the 17 goals globally...

[UHC2030 @UHC2030]

Today, 12.12.23 is #UHCDay 🇺🇳

To ensure #HealthForAll, the time for action is now.

There has been some progress towards #UniversalHealthCoverage, but we are alarmingly behind #SDG targets by 2030.

[Africa Centre For Development Journalism @Dev_Journalism]

Society is roughly half men & half women - But women are under represented (in #governance & #politics)

If you look at #Nigeria’s #parliament there is less than 5% womens representation

Would you describe that as #democracy?

Would you describe that as equal #representation?

Of course not.

Better democracy, better representation = better #development

Multiple inequalities are key factors causing #poverty, #fragility, #conflict or #humanitarian crisis

To build #peace & sustainable development - SDG 10/Reducing #Inequality has to be a priority & #development information is crucial
