African Voices at UNGA80: Building Sustainable and Self-Reliant Systems Through Innovation
UNITED NATIONS, September 26 (IPS) - On September 24, African-led organizations convened a high-level side event during the 80th session of the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA80). The event – African-led Innovation: Shaping Sustainable Futures With or Without Aid – was organized in partnership with eHealth Africa, Population Services International (PSI), Population Council, and Reach Digital Health. The dialogue amplified voices from African-led organizations and highlighted the importance of homegrown innovations for sustainability—regardless of the availability of foreign aid—amid shrinking donor funding and widening global inequalities.
