The Ethiopian Government’s Seqota Declaration Program has achieved a significant milestone, averting stunting in nearly 100,000 children in 2022 alone. These impressive results were driven by the most dramatic drop in stunting rates ever recorded worldwide.   Analysis carried out by Johns Hopkins University also projects that children brought into the program in 2021 will complete an additional 7,126 years of schooling and earn an additional $48 million over their lifetimes as a result of the government’s interventions.   Learn more about how the Ethiopian Government achieved these results: https://lnkd.in/ejrzfxZp   #Ethiopia #GlobalDevelopment #Nutrition #GlobalHealth

Big Win Philanthropy’s core work centers around direct support for the implementation of government-led initiatives in Africa that have high potential to dramatically transform life opportunities for children and young people at scale.

Grow the capacity of the leaders setting the direction for their cities, regions and countries to envision and deliver transformational agendas. 2. Build a community among leaders across the continent ambitiously striving to bring about transformational change for their people. 3. Shine a spotlight on those exemplifying exceptional leadership. 4. Work toward a new narrative around leadership on the continent. We're seeking a Director of Leadership to help oversee this stream of activities, working alongside Big Win’s President and under the direct supervision of the CEO.

Mayor Adanech Abiebie convened her cabinet to consolidate transformative plans in six key areas that will markedly change Addis Ababa before the end of her term. Over the course of two days, the Mayor and 67 members of her cabinet aligned on her bold vision, setting clear targets for success. Mayor Adanech shared, “To build the new face of Addis Ababa…our leadership is commencing the transformative plan preparation for six strategically identified sectors: employment, revenue, housing, mobility, public service delivery, and land development and administration. We believe these will have an overarching effect on all other sectors.” Mayor Adanech is building on her successful transformation of early childhood development to make Addis Ababa the best African city to raise a child. This includes deploying 5,000 parental coaches, creating 12,000 playgrounds, transforming 1,000 preschools, closing 120 streets for children to safely play on Sundays, and integrating early childhood development touchpoints in all health centers—efforts that are already transforming the lives of children in a holistic manner. #UrbanDevelopment #Ethiopia #Cities #Leadership
