A highlight of the #AUSummit - connecting with leaders who are focused on moving from discussion to delivery.
At the High Level Side Event on Africa’s Health Sovereignty we heard from Hon. Kwabena Mintah Akandoh (MOH Ghana) about his vision for building on the Accra Dialogues.

You never know who you are going to meet at the #AUSummit!
Earlier today EGPAF’s Rhoda Igweta met Dr. Kennedy Lishimpi (Permanent Secretary MOH Zambia) and learned about his connection with EGPAF.
In 1998, he was a PAF scholar, receiving funding to study the management of pediatric #HIV.
At the High-Level Side Event on Digital Health Technologies for RMNCAH, leaders emphasized that digital health in Africa must be driven by strong political commitment, integrated into national plans, and supported by domestic investments to reach every child. #AUSummit
💬“The #AUSummit is likely to be recalibration on both sides: the US testing a more transactional model of engagement, and African leaders signalling that partnership must be reciprocal, predictable and respectful if it is to endure,” Carlos Lopes notes.

Namibia ≠ US safety net!
Namibians cannot be excluded at the border while its resources are fast-tracked into the US. As the #AUSummit begins, Africa must insist on a clean energy future, not permit another scramble for its resources. oilchange.org/news/namibia...
A busy day at the #AUSummit!
EGPAF’s Rhoda Igweta spoke at the OAFLAD technical advisors meeting, speaking on behalf of the Co-chairs of the Heath Working Group.
Last year, 45% of all #UNSC resolutions addressed crises in Africa. Still, African countries have no permanent voice in the room.
When those who are most impacted aren’t represented, decisions fall short. #AUSummit

45% of #UNSC resolutions last year focused on #Africa, yet the continent still has no permanent seat. When those most affected aren’t represented, decisions fall short. At this year's #AUSummit, we call on African leaders to demand a real #UNSC reform.
