UN Council, Greenvillage Foundation Plan Landmark Projects In Africa

The United Nations International Peace and Governance Council (UNIPGC) Africa has sealed a strategic partnership with Greenvillage Empowerment Foundation (GVEF) to implement impactful capacity-building and development projects on the continent.

The agreement represents a significant step toward strengthening sustainable development and leadership capacity in Africa. The initiative is spearheaded by the governor of Tana River County in Kenya.

It was formalised through the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) by key representatives of the organisations. The signatories include Ambassador Jonathan Ojadah, global president of the United Nations International Peace and Governance Council; Ambassador Jase Carlos Sousa, member of the UNIPGC Supreme Council and H. Maj. Dhadho Godhana (rtd), the executive governor of Tana River County.

The MoU established a robust framework for cooperation between UNIPGC and GVEF, reflecting a shared vision and strong alignment of values in promoting sustainable development, peace, and inclusive governance across Africa.

Under the agreement, both organisations will collaborate on a wide range of development initiatives, including the promotion of democracy and good governance, climate change education and environmental sustainability, and health promotion through water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH).

Other key focus areas include youth capacity building through a robust film production ecosystem, sports development, gender equality, and the empowerment of marginalised communities.

The partnership will also support and advance the global development agenda of the United Nations, particularly the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UNSDGs).

As part of the collaboration, UNIPGC and GVEF have committed to establishing effective channels for joint action by designing and implementing programs and projects that address shared development priorities. These initiatives will focus on strengthening leadership capacity, promoting inclusive participation in governance, and enhancing community-based development efforts.

Similarly, the partnership will encourage mutual institutional support, enabling both organizations to provide technical expertise, strategic guidance, and moral support toward the successful implementation of their initiatives.

The collaboration marks a major milestone in advancing cross-sector partnerships that foster sustainable development, social inclusion, and transformational leadership across Africa, while reinforcing the collective commitment of both organisations to achieving the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.
