LNOB-Leave No One behind

LEAVE NO ONE BEHIND

Leave No one behind (LNOB) is the central, transformative promise of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and its Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). It represents the unequivocal commitment of all UN Member States to eradicate poverty in all its forms, end discrimination and exclusion, and reduce the inequalities and vulnerabilities that leave people behind and undermine the potential of individuals and of humanity as a whole.

LNOB not only entails reaching the poorest of the poor but requires combating discrimination and rising inequalities within and amongst countries and their root causes.  A major cause of people being left behind remains the persistent forms of discrimination we know all too well, including gender discrimination, which leaves individuals, families and whole communities marginalized, and excluded. LNOB is grounded in the UN’s normative standards that are foundational principles of the Charter of the United Nations, international human rights law and national legal systems across the world

 LNOB PARTINERSHIP LEARNED LESSON

Our thematic focuses to mobilize to as many CSOs across Africa region to partner with us in the movement Leave No One Behind initiative.

We will also engage with Civil Society Organizations (csos) at global regions and country level through Zoom meeting in LNOBA Partnership Programing at national and regional structure.

We have developed engagement platforms that we can share with individual regional and global invited quest to Our stakeholder LNOB partnership

The International Civil Society Centre will be the host centre in the programing of LNOB partnership, this will allow us to increase broader visibility of the work we are doing in the long run of the LNOB partnership Programing at global level , and also facilitating collective learning and information sharing among regional and global LNOB members. The ISC Centre has been recognised by many global and Africa region stakeholders to have high technical advance resources in providing structured Facilitation and develop framework of collaboration toward strengthening the LNOB Partnership. Using Amplify Trans Voices Radio, program is meaningful ways to engage with key actors on all levels of state sectors for Partnership to enable fostering the inclusion of marginalized communities with aim to implement the Sustainable Development Goals. At the national level we will establish the LNOB Committee that will be responsible for mobilization coordination this will allow to make impact and facilitate improved collaboration between CSOs and CBOs.

Introduce Yourself (Example Post)

This is an example post, originally published as part of Blogging University. Enroll in one of our ten programs, and start your blog right.

You’re going to publish a post today. Don’t worry about how your blog looks. Don’t worry if you haven’t given it a name yet, or you’re feeling overwhelmed. Just click the “New Post” button, and tell us why you’re here.

Why do this?

  • Because it gives new readers context. What are you about? Why should they read your blog?
  • Because it will help you focus your own ideas about your blog and what you’d like to do with it.

The post can be short or long, a personal intro to your life or a bloggy mission statement, a manifesto for the future or a simple outline of your the types of things you hope to publish.

To help you get started, here are a few questions:

  • Why are you blogging publicly, rather than keeping a personal journal?
  • What topics do you think you’ll write about?
  • Who would you love to connect with via your blog?
  • If you blog successfully throughout the next year, what would you hope to have accomplished?

You’re not locked into any of this; one of the wonderful things about blogs is how they constantly evolve as we learn, grow, and interact with one another — but it’s good to know where and why you started, and articulating your goals may just give you a few other post ideas.

Can’t think how to get started? Just write the first thing that pops into your head. Anne Lamott, author of a book on writing we love, says that you need to give yourself permission to write a “crappy first draft”. Anne makes a great point — just start writing, and worry about editing it later.

When you’re ready to publish, give your post three to five tags that describe your blog’s focus — writing, photography, fiction, parenting, food, cars, movies, sports, whatever. These tags will help others who care about your topics find you in the Reader. Make sure one of the tags is “zerotohero,” so other new bloggers can find you, too.
