SDG 17-Partnerships for the Goals

Women for Sustainability Africa understands how important it is to work together to achieve the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, especially SDG 17 - Partnerships for the Goals. We have carefully built partnerships with different organizations, using their knowledge and resources to make our initiatives more impactful. These partnerships cover a wide range of areas, with a special emphasis on helping women in digital skills and supporting businesses that care about the environment. In alignment with SDG 17, we have established a fruitful partnership with several organizations such as Wiki Women in Red, Goethe Institute , Universities around Ghana among others. While we have already forged impactful collaborations, we remain intentional about actively seeking and embracing additional partnerships to broaden our reach and impact. To illustrate, consider Wikipedia, where only 25% of women currently have profiles, and about 5% do not have pictures. Through partnerships, we're closing this gender gap by organizing wiki training sessions. This joint effort not only boosts digital skills among women but also ensures a more inclusive representation of their achievements online. We're committed to expanding these collaborations to make a broader impact and foster a digital space that genuinely reflects the diverse contributions of women.

We aim to achieve this through;

• ADVOCACY • EDUCATION • RESEARCH
