Last week, UNIYIA participated in the Local Stakeholder Consultation on the 100% Data-Auditable Smart Electric Stove with Verified Household Carbon Payments Programme, hosted by ATEC Australia International Pty Ltd and Ecolutions Consults at CSIR-STEPRI, Accra.

The session convened key actors to explore the deployment of 100,000 IoT-enabled smart induction stoves across Ghana, a critical step toward transitioning households away from charcoal and non-renewable biomass. Discussions focused on clean cooking access, carbon market integration, safeguarding frameworks and SDG alignment.

Our Programs & Operations Manager, Benjamin Amenuveve Lugu Amenuveve Kormi Lugu, mediated key stakeholder dialogues, offering insights on community implementation, impact monitoring and local safeguarding.

UNIYIA remains committed to advancing solutions at the intersection of clean energy, public health, climate technology and sustainable development.

To mark National Volunteers’ Day, we engaged young girls in Teshie to champion community action on the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

Our session focused on SDGs, Cleanliness, Responsible Consumption, Waste Segregation, Recycling, Reuse, Climate Action, and Circular Economy practices.

Through practical upcycling workshops, participants converted discarded plastic waste into functional items like seating and reusable bags, demonstrating how grassroots innovation drives environmental sustainability.

More than ever, empowering young people with actionable knowledge remains critical to building resilient, eco-conscious communities.

Today, we celebrate the International Day for the Preservation of the Ozone Layer and the remarkable progress the world has made in protecting this vital shield around our planet.

The ozone layer protects life on Earth from harmful ultraviolet (UV) radiation. Its recovery reminds us that when countries, communities, scientists, young people and institutions work together around a shared environmental challenge, collective action can make a difference.

But the work does not stop here. Protecting the ozone layer is part of a wider responsibility to protect our atmosphere, strengthen climate action and build a healthier planet for generations to come.

At United Youth Initiative for Africa (UNIYIA), we believe environmental responsibility begins with knowledge, participation and action. From climate-smart agriculture and green livelihoods to circular economy and disaster risk reduction, we are committed to supporting communities and young people to become active contributors to environmental sustainability.

As implementation of the Climate Smart Agriculture and Green Livelihood Initiative commences, the project team engaged Hon. Amidu Karim, Assemblyman for Larabanga and community farmers to strengthen local ownership, stakeholder coordination and implementation support.

The engagement provided an opportunity to align project interventions with community priorities, strengthen local accountability mechanisms and establish channels for continuous stakeholder feedback and oversight.

Meaningful participation of local leadership and farmers is critical to ensuring that CSAGLI project activities are context-responsive, inclusive and sustainable beyond the implementation period.

CSAGLI is fully funded by UN Development Programme Ghana through the GEF Small Grants Program.
