Sign the Petition calling on African Governments to Keep their Promise!


To achieve the MDGs, we call on African Governments to:

  •  Re-affirm their commitments to the achievement of the MDGs by 2015.
  •  Work with their citizens, parliaments and local governments to develop and implement break-through action plans.
  • Address inequality, discrimination and marginalization of specific social groups including people with disabilities, women, youth as integral part of the breakthrough plans.
  • Address resource leakages and corruption with urgency.
  • Act urgently to implement the African protocol on women’s rights and similar undertakings in relation to youth, children and people living with disabilities.
  •  Put employment and decent work for women and young people at the centre of economic policies.
  •  Uphold all continental agreements and protocols to budget adequately for the achievement of the MDGs including such targets as 15% to health, 10% to Agriculture, 10% to education.

  • Put more efforts into mobilising and retaining domestic resources through fair and efficient taxation, fair sharing of natural resource rents and the prevention of illicit capital flight.

  • ENSURE THAT NO WOMAN SHOULD DIE GIVING LIFE” .

      We commit as citizen groups to engage our governments at various levels in order to hold them to account for these commitments.

altThe European Union Delegation to Ghana has supported Youth Bridge Foundation through the Ministry of Finance and Economic Planning to launch its Economic Literacy Project.

The 1st phase of the Project was a baseline survey conducted by the foundation to assess in general the level of awareness, knowledge and interest of the youth regarding national budgets and economic policy statements of government. The study identified clear gaps between dictionary budget definitions and the real understanding of national budget components among the Ghanaian youth.
