The United Nations Association Of Ghana Commission For Women And Children Affairs (UNACWCA), has reached an agreement with the Former IBF Lightweight champion Mr. Richard Oblitey Commey, to have him serve as a Goodwill Ambassador of the Commission.
It comes after the Commission has monitored Mr. Commey’s good conduct and humanitarian services in diverse ways. This agreement has been made possible by Mr. Commey’s own passion to do something enduring for women and Children in Ghana. His management – Streetwise Management Limited, has also consented to this agreement.
This is a longterm relationship which will see Mr. Richard Commey work closely with the UNACWCA, Government, Civil Society and other Interest Groups to facilitate the attainment of UN SDG 5 – Gender Equality and Women Empowerment in Ghana.
As you may be aware, the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG’s) are set of 17 goals and 169 targets agreed by all UN member states with the aim to achieve a better and more sustainable future for all. They address the global challenges we face, including those related to poverty, inequality, climate, environmental degradation, prosperity, and peace and justice. The Goals interconnect and in order to leave no one behind, it is important that we achieve each Goal and target by 2030.
Today’s signing of the MOU between UNACWCA, Mr. Richard Commey, and Streetwise Management Limited is a seal on this deal and details among many things specific responsibilities of the Goodwill Ambassador;
- As a Goodwill Ambassador, the UNACWCA, hopes to leverage on Commey’s notability as a highly reputed public figure in Ghana to help focus national attention on the work of the Commission in-country. Particularly, in achieving SDG 5 – Gender Equality.
- Richard Oblitey Commey shall be partly responsible for delivering humanitarian relief, help in the implementation of the UNACWCA programs, and providing development assistance to demonstrate benevolence and compassion for women and children.
