INVITATION TO PARTICIPATE IN YOUTH SUMMIT ON THE MDGs
Translations available in: English (original) | French | Spanish | Italian | German | Portuguese | Swedish | Russian | Dutch | Arabic



I wish to invite members of your noble organization as well as its liaison officers in the Tertiary Institutions to participate in an international Youth Summit on the Millennium Development Goals organized by Africa Global Sister Cities Foundation.

The summit which is on the theme “The Roles of Sister Cities Youth in Achieving the Millennium Development Goals for Change” is schedule to take place at the Accra International Conference Centre from 18th – 24th May, 2008.

Through this Summit, we hope to increase the awareness of the MDGs among young people, showcase some ongoing youth projects on the MDGs in Africa and elsewhere, and explore novel ways of actively involving young people at the community level in the attainment of the MDGs for a global change.

We also wish to use this occasion to introduce young people to participate in the upcoming Sister Cities Youth Conference, Kansas City, USA, in July 2008.

At the end of the Summit, participants will create an international Sister Cities Network for an Action Plan on the MDGs.

Invited distinguished personalities and keynote speakers include:
H.E. John Agyekum Kufuor, (President of the Republic of Ghana); H.E. Kofi Annan, (7th Secretary-General of UN); H.E. Dr. Mohammed Ibn Chambas, (President, ECOWAS Commission); H.E. Mae Ferguson, (President, Sister Cities International);
H.E. Mary Jean Eisenhower, (CEO, People To People Inc.); His Majesty Otumfuo Osei Tutu,(King of Asante, Ghana); Celia Churchill Sandys, (Founder of Churchill Leadership, UK); Emmanuel Dei-Tumi, (CEO of Foundation for Future Leaders International); Rev. Daniel Ogbamey Tetteh, (Director of Research, Databank Ghana) and Ms Matilda Asante, (Joy FM, Ghana).

Youth focus on the MDGs will be, in some cases, facilitated by representatives from the UNDP. Other experts have also been invited to guide the youth in panel discussions and plenary sessions.

Please find attached a brief on the Youth Summit for your attention and circulation to student members of these groups. Please do visit our website www.africaglobal-sistercities.org for information regarding registration and participation.

We look forward to welcoming you to this eventful summit in May.

Sincerely,

………………………….
