Today, we celebrate young people across Ghana and around the world, united by a shared vision for a better future.

Under this year’s theme, “Different Contexts, Common Aspirations,” we recognize that despite varying challenges, young people share a vital goal: to be heard, to have opportunities, and to shape the future of their communities.

From driving good governance to championing sustainable development, youth are not merely beneficiaries of change, they are active agents of it.

At the Youth Empowerment Consortium, we remain committed to giving young leaders the platform and support to turn aspirations into action.

Different contexts. Common aspirations. One shared future.

Happy International Youth Day! 🌍🇬🇭

On Saturday, 25th July, 2026, I had the honour of leading and successfully organizing the Clean-Up Cape Coast South Campaign Project as the Youth Member of Parliament (Youth MP) for Cape Coast South Constituency at Youth Model Parliament-YMP.

The initiative was designed to promote environmental sanitation, healthy living, youth participation and community responsibility. It brought together dedicated volunteers, community members, stakeholders and young people who united with one purpose, to make Cape Coast South cleaner, healthier and more beautiful.

As part of the programme, we conducted a Free Health Screening, where many residents benefited from medical examinations, health education and professional advice.

This initiative reaffirmed our belief that the health of our people is just as important as the cleanliness of our communities.

One of the most memorable moments of the day was the official opening of the Office of the Cape Coast South Youth MP. This office will serve as a centre for youth advocacy, leadership development, mentorship, community engagement and the implementation of impactful programmes that will improve the lives of young people throughout the constituency.

This successful programme reflects what can be achieved when leadership meets community support. I sincerely thank every volunteer, health professional, partner, stakeholder and community member whose time, effort and dedication contributed to the success of this historic initiative.

As the Cape Coast South Youth MP, Hon. Eunice Aba Dery Naaman, I remain committed to providing visionary and servant leadership that prioritises sanitation, quality healthcare, youth empowerment and sustainable community development. This is only the beginning.

Together, we will continue to build a cleaner, healthier, stronger and more united Cape Coast South.
