The dispatchThe programme
A seat for Ghana’s youth in the hall where the country speaks.
We believe in the dream of our young people in our young continent. GUNYO chooses that representative, then keeps the work going through SDG campaigns, letters, and awards at home.
LifeLink Friendship Schools facilitates the selection with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the National Youth Authority, and the UN Information Centre in Accra.
02
SDG advocacy
After New York, the work comes home: workshops and campaigns that carry the Sustainable Development Goals across Ghana’s regions.
03
Mentorship
Diplomats, policymakers, and Model UN fellows stay close to the next cohort, so one appointment becomes a longer line of leaders.
04
Community action
Observers back youth ventures in education, health, gender equality, and work — the problems young people already live with.
