On 6 May 2019, ACCORD’s Executive Director, Dr Vasu Gounden, signed an official memorandum of understanding (MOU) with the Secretary General of the Junior Chamber International (JCI), Arrey Obenson, in order to work together to bring the Global Peace Initiative’s Inter-Generational Dialogues (IGDs) to 100 cities around the world.
The day of the signing coincided with the inaugural IGD in Accra, where the President of Ghana, H.E. Nana Akufo-Addo, and the Chair of the ACCORD Board of Trustees, Mrs. Graça Machel, hosted the event for more than 500 delegates and representatives from different sectors across Ghana and the world.
Mr. Obenson, as JCI’s Secretary General, is the chief administrative officer leading the implementation of the organisation’s overall strategy. The partnership between ACCORD and JCI enables both organisations to share knowledge and resources so that young people can take action for their future. JCI is a crucial partner whose extensive network of more than 200,000 members and presence in over 100 countries will allow Global Peace to bring the Inter-Generational Dialogues to cities across the world.
