To climax activities of the ‘COVID-19 heroes’, a colorful send-off was held to appreciate their efforts in contributing to the Country Office’s quest to achieving the three transformative results of zero preventable maternal deaths, zero unmet need for family planning, and zero incidences of sexual and gender-based violence. Furthermore, sharing of success stories of the Fellows as well as rich experiences characterised the ceremony while certificates of completion were awarded to the Fellows.
UNFPA Resident Representative, Mr Niyi Ojuolape applauded the outgoing Fellows for their tangible and impactful contribution to the Country Office. “Allow me to stress that these young people have made valuable contribution to our work which is recognised not only in Ghana but globally”, he emphasized.
The occasion was also used to inaugurate a YoLe Alumni Network. The network is made up of thirty-one young people comprising the first and second cohort. This is aimed at ensuring the sustainability of the Fellowship and maintaining their statuses as worthy ambassadors of the International Conference on Population and Development (ICPD) agenda.
For the second cohort, leaving the walls of UNFPA Ghana is a drop in the ocean becauseOrangehas become a lifestyle!
