Hey young changemakers! Our generation deserves spaces to thrive. Time to step up and secure community land for our future. Your voice matters in shaping where we'll live and grow! #Youth #CIGOFA4 #Land

[Stand for Her Land @Stand4HerLand]

Secure land rights are essential for women to fully experience the fulfillment of their human rights.

Without land, women can't truly experience many of the benefits from these rights including dignity, power, equality, shelter, etc.

Discussions are currently taking place in Machakos, Nairobi, where IGAD Gender focal points are exploring strategies to leverage IGAD’s customised tools to advance Gender Equality and Women’s Empowerment (#GEWE). Participants have now moved into focused group discussions to deliberate on effective ways to measure key gender issues using IGAD’s monitoring systems. They are also brainstorming incentive mechanisms to recognise best practices and address non-compliance in gender equality efforts.

Why PLANTING A TREE?

There are many ways to save our planet including conserving water, reducing our use of oil and embracing green energy, reducing waste and single-use plastics and planting more trees.

🇸🇸#SouthSudan has a young, dynamic population.

Young people can be the driving force behind the country's development, but high unemployment rates remain an obstacle.

IFAD is working with them to ensure their voices are heard & their aspirations are supported in our strategies.
