Government has unveiled two separate funds \u2013
\nthe Green and Delivery Funds \u2013 intended to generate monies to facilitate
\nGhana\u2019s attainment of the United Nations (UN) Sustainable Development Goals
\n(SDGs).<\/p>\n

The initiative is being undertaken by the CEOs
\nAdvisory Group on SDG established by President Akufo-Addo to help generate
\nresources to fund projects.<\/p>\n

The selected CEOs from various corporate
\norganisations in the country have set for themselves to generate GH\u00a21 billion
\nwithin the next five years into the Green Fund to provide sustainable energy
\nand other commercial activities. This is also expected to create not less than
\n100,000 jobs along the line.<\/p>\n

The CEOs have also committed themselves to set
\nup what they call the Delivery Fund into which corporate entities would be
\npaying 5% as part of their corporate social responsibility.<\/p>\n

Speaking at a breakfast meeting held at the
\nbehest of President Akufo-Addo at the Jubilee House in Accra yesterday, Vice-President
\nDr. Mahamudu Bawumia said the President was fully convinced that the two funds could be a game changer in Ghana\u2019s quest to
\nachieve the SDGs.<\/p>\n

Dr. Bawumia was delighted in the fact that
\nGhana has a history of being first in a lot of things including the first to
\nachieve the Millennium Development Goal (MDG) One, among others, and the first
\nto set up these two funds to achieve the SDGs.<\/p>\n

He called for hard work to be able to make it
\nhappen, saying \u201cthe President counts on your support and that together we can
\nachieve this noble objective.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Vice-President said, \u201cIt is unacceptable
\nthat our people continue to suffer extreme forms of poverty and hunger, and it
\nis not right for the people to die from preventable diseases, suffer
\ninequalities and injustices.\u201d<\/p>\n

It was for this reason he said the President
\nattaches the greatest form of importance to the goals and cherishes so much the
\nwork that the CEOs are doing towards the implementation of the SDGs.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is because of what the SDGs represent for the development fortune; the President is fully committed to making Ghana a shining example in the implementation of the SDGs but stated that without the robust support and deliberate efforts towards scaling up private sectors engagement and investments, this acceleration would be a pipe dream,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
