Young people may come from different communities, countries and experiences, but their hopes for the future often have more in common than we realise.

For International Youth Day, we asked young people across Nigeria, Cameroon, Malawi, Ethiopia and Senegal to complete one sentence:

“A better future for young people is one where…”

Their responses spoke of learning, leadership, opportunity, participation and the ability to create meaningful change.

At Ducit Blue Foundation, these aspirations reflect the work we continue to do through our youth programmes, internships, AMR initiatives and advocacy, creating spaces for young people to learn, lead, contribute and turn ideas into action.

Because meaningful youth engagement begins with listening.

This International Youth Day, we are listening and continuing to create opportunities for young people to shape what comes next.

Different contexts. Common aspirations.

Wherever young people come from, the desire to learn, contribute, belong and shape what comes next remains constant.

The challenge is not whether young people have aspirations. It is whether the systems around them create the space, opportunity and trust for those aspirations to become action.

This International Youth Day, we reflect on the importance of creating spaces where young people can contribute, lead and shape the future they aspire to.

“We can have all the science, but if journalists do not communicate it to the public, then the science becomes useless.”
- Dr. Patrick Dakum, 2025

Science generates evidence. Communication turns evidence into understanding and understanding into action.

For issues like antimicrobial resistance, communicating the science is not an afterthought. It is part of the solution.

Our Junior AMR Programme Assistant, Mr. Emmanuel Oyelayo, was honoured to be among the selected participants at the Effective Altruism Nigeria Summit 2026, held in Abuja.

The summit brought together professionals and emerging leaders in global health to explore how evidence, reason, and cost-effectiveness can be applied to achieve the greatest positive impact. Sessions also examined scope sensitivity and the power of storytelling to drive systemic change valuable insights that continue to strengthen our work.

A key highlight was Emmanuel's participation in the Global Health and Development Meetup Roundtable Discussion, where he contributed to conversations on the future of health in Nigeria. During the discussion, he emphasized the need for increased domestic funding for antimicrobial resistance (AMR) programmes and stronger implementation of existing AMR policies. He was also selected to present his group's recommendations to the wider audience.

The summit also provided an opportunity to reconnect with Undo Jacob Fater, an alumnus of the DBF One Health AMR Internship/Mentorship Programme (Cohort 4), implemented in partnership with One Health Society-Tanzania.

Emmanuel also engaged with Uketeh Sunday Nguher, pioneer President of AMR Club UniJos, and Abubakar Muhammad Abdulmumini of EcoMed Nexus Foundation, where discussions focused on the upcoming environmental health project that Ducit Blue Foundation will implement in collaboration with EcoMed Nexus Foundation.

At Ducit Blue Foundation, we believe that learning, collaboration, and meaningful partnerships are essential to strengthening our programmes and advancing practical solutions to antimicrobial resistance across Africa.

Breastfeeding is often described as a mother's responsibility.

In reality, it is a society's responsibility.

A mother's commitment can only go so far without the support of informed families, responsive health systems, enabling workplaces, and communities that protect, encourage, and empower her to continue.

That is why the theme for World Breastfeeding Week 2026 is more than a slogan, it is a call to action.

Breastfeeding for a Sustainable Start in Life: Strengthen What Works.

When we strengthen the support around mothers, we strengthen the future of every child.

On 21 July 2026, teams from EcoMed Nexus Foundation and Ducit Blue Foundation paid an advocacy visit to the Federal Ministry of Environment, Nigeria, to advance community-based action on antimicrobial resistance (AMR) through a One Health approach.

We were warmly received by Mrs. Rita Okea, Head of the Environmental Health and Sanitation Division and AMR Focal Person for the Environment Sector. We presented our proposed initiative, which focuses on addressing environmental drivers of AMR through community engagement, environmental health interventions, capacity strengthening, and multisectoral collaboration.

We appreciate the Ministry’s positive reception and willingness to collaborate. The engagement reaffirmed the importance of coordinated action across the human, animal, and environmental health sectors in tackling AMR.

We look forward to continued collaboration towards strengthening community resilience and supporting the implementation of Nigeria’s National Action Plan on Antimicrobial Resistance.

Awareness is where change begins.
Antimicrobial resistance ( ) is one of the most pressing public health challenges of our time, and tackling it starts with informed action. Every individual, healthcare professional, policymaker, and community has a role to play in preventing the misuse of antibiotics and protecting the medicines we rely on.

As Dr. Jide Idris reminds us:
"Creating awareness is the first step to saving lives. We must all take responsibility."

Hello, August!

A new month is another opportunity to inspire action, strengthen partnerships, and empower the next generation of changemakers.

At Ducit Blue Foundation, we remain committed to equipping young leaders with the knowledge, skills and networks they need to advance One Health, address antimicrobial resistance, and build healthier, more resilient communities.

This August, we're choosing collaboration over complacency, learning over limitations, and action over intention.

Here's to a month of meaningful impact, shared purpose and lasting change.
