Smart SDG Cities, Ghana Background: Rapid urbanization in Ghana over the past three decades has coincided with rapid GDP growth. This has helped to create jobs, increase human capital, decrease poverty, and expand opportunities and improve living conditions for millions of Ghanaians. Yet urbanisation has been accompanied by challenges related to efficiency and inclusion, including slums, lack of basic services, underdeveloped manufacturing, and insufficient transport infrastructure.
The project: The novelty of the program in a Ghanaian context is to localise the SDGs in cities. The project does so by introducing the SDG Cities global initiative to a network of 10 cities and variety of local institutions across Ghana to advance the achievement of Smart SDGs. The project was initiated by the Ghanaian Ministry of Finance, who is expected to be a key partner in the implementation. Other partners include the Ministry of Local Government, Decentralisation and Rural Development, the National Development Planning Commission, the UN Capital Development Fund, the Institute for Housing and Urban Development Studies and the United Nations Innovation Technology Accelerator for Cities. A gender transformative approach is integrated in project design and implementation. Project Key Performance Indicators will include women inclusion in data collection and strategic planning processes.

Impact: Accelerated achievement of the SDGs in cities, including enhancing urban climate resilience and promoting a green transition of cities in Ghana with the use of digital tools. 

Outcome 1: Improved support structure for accelerating SDGs in cities, Outcome 2: Improved evidence-based planning, Outcome 3: Strengthened local institutions, able to effectively progress economic, social and environment dimensions of sustainable urban development through digital training resources and tools, Outcome 4: Increased, measurable SDG impacts in cities through deploying public and private sources.

Norec, FK Norway, personnell exchange South Africa, Zambia. The two grassroot civil society organizations CDP and ZNWL seeks to learn from each other’s knowledge and use creative arts as a tool to strengthen their advocacy strategies to improve gender equality and to address and counteract gender -based violence (GBV). They wish to include men as part of the solution in the fight against GBV as well as incorporating the creative arts in organisational advocacy work.
ZNWL has an established programme for men and boys to strengthening their capacity and competence on addressing GBV in their local community. They seek to improve this programme by learning from CDP Trust’s ArtasAdvocacy to provide more interactive and expressive art skills. CDP seek to expand men’s involvement in their advocacy programmes regarding gender equality. ZNWL will share their competence on enabling young men to raise awareness among their peers and community about the negative effects of GBV.

The 2022 project aims to continue with activities from the 2021 project, but also to carry out new results. The new components of the 2022 project are that CDP will work with three community high-schools identified in 2021 where they aim to identify boys to be trained as Agents of Change in the fight against GBV. The 6 peer educators that participated
in the Men in action against Gender Based Violence –Train the trainer programme with ZNWL in 2021, will facilitate a series of classroom workshops for the identified boys. 
ZNWL, will focus on working with the 12 boys that were trained as change agents by CDP through the Men in Action against GBV – Art as Advocacy programme in 2021. These boys will volunteer to test the advocacy techniques by conducting community outreach/awareness activities at schools in three communities in the 2022 project.
Additionally, both organizations will carry on with the work they have started in the 2021 project with moving their traditional methods of training into a digital e-learning platform.

Children’s activities for children and teachers include child rights, and gender norms/equality. Additionally, trainings on gender sensitization for partner organizations, expert consultations from SC Gender & GBV technical advisor on the overcoming of contextualized gendered barriers, distribution of the GBV awareness materials and regular monitoring and analysis of gender (im)balances among the beneficiaries are planned under the project-specific Gender Action Plan.
