Mzuzah Africa – The 2018 Experience


VISION: BUILDING SUSTAINABLE WEALTH
Mzuzah africa’s mission is to inspire, empower and provide key tools for the economic, social and environmental sustainability of leaders in emerging economies. To build a collaborative bridge that cuts across geographic boundaries. They achieve this by providing the most collaborative platforms and practical tools necessary for socioeconomic and environmental sustainability and success.
On the 8th March, 2018, in my last semester as undergraduate, through my university- University of Professional Studies- Accra (UPSA), i got invited to this exceptional,educative and inspiring conference. The first and perhaps the last conference i ever attended during my university days.
Since 2010, pilot forums have been implemented across West Africa in Ghana, Nigeria and Cameroon. Over 800 participants consisting of multinational corporations, foundations, indigenous organisations and the civil society have participated.
The Forum engages the region’s most influential leaders current and upcoming, plus those with interest in Africa in critical discussions designed to create partnerships, networks, knowledge and collaborative pathways to achieve effective social change and impact in the Africa region; to set an agenda on best practices for corporate social responsibility, collaboration and sustainability investments.  The forums have delivered first-class programs, leading thinkers and cutting-edge insights.
After the program, i thought it wise to share this one time conference in my life on this website (Akonnor.com) which i built in October 2017- You should be present next conference!. The program featured inspiring leaders across Africa, Europe and US. The conference graced us with intuitive and smart leaders like Hon. Patricia Appiagyei
Deputy Minister, Environment,
Science & Technology- Ghana,Ruka Sanusi

We were fortunate enough to meet Mandela Washington fellows from Liberia and Ghana, Students from University of Development Studies (UDS), University of Allied Health Science(UHAS), UPSA, University of Ghana, Ashesi University College and many more. Actually the program took place at Ashesi University College .

Let me share the little i learnt:
  1. A great presentation by University of Allied Health Science (UHAS)  student on building a clean water for a whole community in Volta region of Ghana. I wish i could remember the guys name. He was so good and knew what he was talking about.
  2. A presentation on Africa Town. Why do we call towns full of Chinese, China town but town full of Africans Ghetto, Hood and not Africa Town…Man..this presentation got me thinking for hours.
