The African Renaissance and Diaspora Network (ARDN) in partnership with the UN Permanent Mission of Senegal and UNFPA, UN-Habitat, UNEP, UNDP and other UN agencies is set to host the 2024 Africa Day celebrations at the United Nations Headquarters in New York on Friday, May 24th, from 3 pm to 5 pm ET. This annual event offers a unique platform to celebrate the success and diversity of the African continent, highlighting its economic and cultural potential.

This year’s theme, "Women of Africa and the Diaspora and Agricultural Development," aims to increase public awareness of the crucial role women play in agriculture. It also underscores the economic and social dimensions of African countries and the African Diaspora. A key focus will be on the importance of education—both for women, to empower them with necessary knowledge and tools, and for men, to promote allies and equal partnership.

Dr. Djibril Diallo, President and CEO of ARDN, emphasized the critical role of women in agriculture for the continent's future. “A vibrant and strong agricultural sector is necessary for countries in Africa and the African diaspora, and their people, to thrive in the 21st century,” he said. “Recognizing and ing the role and work of women in agriculture is critical for achievement of the sustainable development goals, and Africa Agenda 2063.”

Despite their significant contributions, women in agriculture face numerous challenges, including limited access to land, water, seeds, fertilizers, markets, credit, and financial services. These challenges are often exacerbated by inequitable laws and customs that favor male inheritance and impede women's land ownership.

The objectives of the 2024 Africa Day celebrations include exploring the intersection between women’s rights and agricultural development within the framework of the Campaign to Give a Red Card to All Forms of Discrimination and Violence Against Women and Girls, showcasing the potential and promise of Africa, and promoting a positive narrative of the continent. The event will also recognize developments and advancements in Africa from 1963 to the present, inspire and empower women in leadership roles within agriculture and related sectors, and highlight and popularize the Sustainable Development Goals, particularly Goals 2 (Zero Hunger), 5 (Gender Equality), and 9 (Industry, Innovation, and Infrastructure), in alignment with Africa Agenda 2063.


ARDN Goodwill Ambassador Akeju Abass also shared his perspective on the event's significance. “The Africa Day celebration is not only a moment to reflect on our heritage but also to forge a path forward,” Abass stated. “By empowering women and addressing disparities in agriculture, we are planting the seeds for a more prosperous and equitable future for all Africans and the diaspora.”

ARDN’s efforts also include mobilizing the African Diaspora to foster stronger ties with the continent, aiming to accelerate its economic and social development. "The convening powers of sports and culture play a significant role in our mission to eliminate discrimination and violence against women and girls," Dr. Diallo added.

I don't want to say what's on my mind but how can an adult wear p*nt and be parading in front of a crowd to claim what exactly

Pageantry should just be for women

No date for the event so i attend maybe i go see husband there. The guys are hot

Lovely... All the best

Great


[right][/right]

Congratulations to him.. This is not we are actually talking about now, why is dollar 1200?

She's beautiful but am sure there are other standout contestants.

Also, with Tinubu as our president we have serious problem connecting with international audience as they will always question our identity or even quality.


Tinubu could be the worst thing that ever happened to Nigeria

Congratulations to her.. The last photo tho, she's got it down there

Nigerian police should be able to investigate this further and do justice. This is how to make a country work by making even the rich to face the rash of the law once convicted of a crime

Well i wish her luck but with the way racism is trending in Europe it's hard to see an African winning an international pageant soon. Really hope that changes soon and wishing her luck

Absolutely love this... From the triller you can tell its gonna be an interesting movie for an action-packed movie lover like me

This is commendable and exactly what i expect some of the northern leaders and politicians to be doing.


Instead one man will steal as much as 2Billion to rig election..
On judgement day for heaven Nigerians go full front

Payday, a neobank issuing global (USD, EUR and GBP) s to Africans, has raised $3 million to fuel its “future of work” initiative through borderless payment alternatives in major currencies.

The seed round was led by Moniepoint Inc (formerly TeamApt Inc), the U.S. entity that houses Moniepoint Microfinance Bank and TeamApt Nigeria. Techstars, Angels Touch, HoaQ, DFS Lab’s Stellar Africa Fund, Ingressive Capital Fund II and angel investors such as MFS Africa chief Dare Okoudjou and Norebase CEO Tola Onayemi also participated.

When Favour Ori launched Payday in June 2021, the initial play was to build PayPal for Africa, for which it secured a million dollars in pre-seed funding.

Customers in 11 African countries, including Rwanda, where it first established its headquarters due to its business-friendly environment, had access to the platform and could send money to each other.

Subsequently, the fintech, which became the first Rwandan company to Techstars (Toronto program) and soon raised a $1.2 million pre-seed extension, learned that enabling cross-border payments was expensive despite. As such, it shut down nine corridors and focused on Nigeria, where it has since witnessed tremendous transaction volume and growth.

With Payday, African remote workers and freelancers, particularly in Nigeria and Rwanda, can send and receive money in USD, GBP, EUR and 20 other currencies. This allows them and those in the diaspora who work remotely for international organizations to be paid and withdraw money in their choice of currency.

Payday also offers virtual dollar and naira cards (which allow Nigerian s to purchase goods and services on foreign platforms), currency swaps, payment links, local bill payments and peer-to-peer transfers.

“We were the first startup to start issuing virtual s in Africa around June 2021, and we’ve done this for over 20 months, so we know what works and understand our market and s.”
Payday ramped up its social media marketing push over the last few months to increase market share, which seems to be paying off. The fintech ended 2022 with slightly over 100,000 s, and now offers its virtual cards and other products to more than 300,000 s. Payday also processes an average of 40,000 transactions daily and over $25 million monthly, numbers that have fetched the fintech a $15 million acquisition offer by one of the continent’s unicorns, which, Ori says, was turned down.
