and I am your moderator.
So over to you, Ambassador.
@5:14 - Hon. Andrew Williams Jr (andrewwilliamsjr777@gmail.com)
Well, thank you so very much. I certainly do appreciate that. As I said, this is going to be part
two of the workshop we began last week.
And then introduce the sustainable development goals. I'm going to briefly share my screen
again with you. So you can actually see what we're talking about.
The idea is for us to take our own responsibility for making sure that we do what we can and
our local communities to have global impact.
Part of that is understanding what the sustainable development goals are. One of the easiest
ways to do that is by adapting what's called sustainable development goal.
Appearance to happiness. StG pyramid. You can find out more information about this simply
by typing in stg pyramid.org. What you'll find is that the first 10 goals are linked to
humanitarian inclusiveness and people are mining.
Goals 11 through 15 are linked to sustainability, nature, ecological, and goals 16 and 17 are
linked to peace, partnerships, and values of spiritual harmony.

Just as a backgrounder, this is not a brand new endeavor for me to come involved with the
Sustainals Development Goals.
What you may or may not know is that it was back in 2000 when Kofi-Lan as the General
Secretary of the United Nations launched the Millennium Development Goals that brought us
to where we are today.
It was in fact the Millennium Development Goals from 2000 to 2015 that provided the
framework and basis for the sustainable development goals that were now sharing.
In fact, the number one goal in 2000 was to end poverty. The second goal or the last goal
was to build global partnerships for development.
And, low in behold, here we are again in 2015 and the sustainable development goals began
with the objective of ending poverty and ends with the idea of us using global partnerships
for development to do that.
I'm going to, again, this is an open book test. You don't have to guess about what we're
doing or how we're going to be doing it.
The idea is that we provide you with resources so that you can take. What you learn from
here and do your own further learning, your own further research and find ways that you can
become actively involved with going ahead with this training in your own local community.
One of the resources that you have is my own website and that's Andrew Networks.com
Almost all of the material that we've been going on over, you can find it for reference on my
website, that's AndrewNetworks.com.
This is just the middle of the page, but in the middle you'll see the very same happiness,
FGG pyramid, introducing this sustainable development goals.
However, this week's workshop has been focused on the United Nations Global Compact.
Let me let you know that you can hit on any of these.
get more information. So for example, there is a United Nations Global Comfaq Strategy
already in place. But there's also a United Nations Global Comfaq Strategy for Africa already
in place.
So we don't have to start with a blank sheet. There are actually ongoing activities that are
happening right now that you are already a part of if you take the effort and responsibility to
find out how to get engaged.
I'm going to share my screen now to bring you what I hope is some very relevant information
for everyone here on the call that's from Nigeria.

We're beginning with Nigeria because of course that's where the World Humanitarian
Organization is based. So I'm going to walk you through this newsletter that's online.
You can find it in the link to it. or just Google it. This is how I found it. I typed in your Inverbal
Compact, Nigeria, local network, and this is the information I came up with.
I'm going to walk you through this. I know this is too much too small for you to read, but I will
read it out to you.
This is an event that happened in Lagos, Nigeria.
@10:25 - albert mjwanda
Please.
I'm to read Thank you. This is an event that happened in Lagos, Nigeria, except here we first
of this year.
On Thursday's September 21st, during the opening of the 2023 Global Business
Development, I'm Global Africa Business Initiative, a procedures today event convening on
the side.
of 75th United Nations General Assembly in New York, Nigeria National Petroleum
Company, limited formerly joined the United Nations Global Contact.
And when you go here, you can just click on the link. It will take you to the United Nations
Global Contact.
The steps I'm taking now are steps you can take to educate yourself about activities that are
happening in your local community.
I'm particularly taking you to this breakdown of the participants in Nigeria. Each country has
their own list of participating organizations.
On the left, you can see the name of the organization in the middle of the type of
organization, the sector, and then the country, and the date that they joined.
This is practical information by now. Yes. Now, this is fractal information that you can use in
your local community because these businesses are actually already actively involved in
your local community and they've already made a commitment to address four areas of the
United Nations World War Compact involving human rights, labor, the environment, and anti-
corruption.

But it's up to you to be able to find out how what you're doing, actually has an impact on
what you're doing.
That's why we're asking each of you to choose one of the 17 Sustainable Development
Goals and show how your activity is actually actively involved with the goal and to
understand that many of us
impact more than one of these objectives. But in order to take full advantage of the available
resources available to you, you must choose one to start with.
Now, we have online access to all these goals. And it's very simple globalgoals.org. And
here you will find the 17 sustainable development goals at the very top.
I know those of you that attended last week's sessions are very much aware of what these
skills are. But each day we're just delivering this information not just to you.
We're delivering this information not just to you who are here. We're also streaming this on
the World Facebook page.
So we can reach people that are not here. So give me just a moment. I'm going to walk
through again these 17 sustainable development goals.
Number one is no poverty. The intent is to end poverty in all of its forms everywhere.
Number two is zero hunger.
The intent is to end hunger, achieve food security, and improve nutrition and promote
sustainable agriculture. Number three is good health and well-being.
To ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all at all ages. Number four is quality
education. This is to ensure inclusive and equitable quality education and promote lifelong
learning opportunities for all.
5. Gender equality To achieve gender equality, empower all women and girls. 6. Is clean
water and sanitation. Ensure the availability and sustainable management of water and
sanitation for all.
7. Is affordable and clean energy. This is to ensure access to affordable, reliable, sustainable
and modern energy for all.
Number 8, DECIS work an economic growth to promote sustained, inclusive and sustainable
economic growth full and productive employment and decent work for all.
Number 9, as industry, innovation and infrastructure to build resilient infrastructure for both
inclusive and sustainable industrialization and foster innovation.
Number 10, as reduce inequalities, reducing inequalities within and among entries. Number
11, sustainable cities and communities make cities and human settlements inclusive.

Number inequalities within safe, resilient, and sustainable. Number 12, responsible

Number 13, climate action. Take your urgent action to combat climate change and impacts.
Number 14, life below water to preserve and sustainably use the oceans, seas, maritime
resources for sustainable development.
Number 15, life online. protect, restore and promote sustainable use of terrestrial
ecosystems, sustainably manage forests at desertification, and halt and reverse land
degradation and halt biodeversity laws.
Number 16, which is really the reason why we're here. Wold is dedicated to SG-16 for
peace, justice and strong institutions, to promote peaceful and inclusive societies for
sustainable development, provide access to justice for all and build effective, accountable
and inclusive institutions at all levels.
And what I believe is the key umbrella to all the other goals is sustainable development goal.
Number 17, partnerships for the goal, strengthen the means of implementation and revitalize
global partnership for sustainable development. And that is exactly why we've made the
commitment to support the United Nations Global Compact agendas that are already in
place.
As I said, this is on my website, AndrewMetworks.com. You can just simply click on this icon.
It will take you to the library.
This is one of the most important resources that interview and have access to. This is a
library of all the information that's available to address the issues that we've been discussing
all this week.
And it breaks down the description of each of the ten principles of the United Nations Global
Compact. For example, this will number one.
You'll find here. Most of all reports, websites, videos about activities that have happened in
the past and that are upcoming.
When you click on Principle number two, again you're going to the library. So this is where
you can find information about Principle number two and so on through all the 10 principles
of the United Nations Global Compact.
Perhaps now if you're good time for me to discuss what those 10 principles are. Again, this is
your globalcompact.org.
I'm asking you to go to the website so you can find out more information about topics we've
discussed but also topics that are coming up.

I am the impact of President Trump. five points to your foundation. We are members of the
United Nations Global Compact, so your work can use our membership to be able to impact
activities that are relevant to you.
But only as the address 10 principles. Again, part of this workshop is to encourage you.
Many of whom are involved, but now in governmental organizations to understand that you
two are a business and you must function as a business in order for you to become engaged
with the commitments that are already going on all around you.
It's very important that you understand what businesses are committed to so that you can
understand how what you're doing is, it comes important to them because in many cases, it's
the work we're doing in our communities locally that help you.
these businesses accomplishing their goals and objectives. Again, there are 10 principles of
the United Nations Global Compact. They're broken down into four separate areas.
One is human rights. There are two principles there. Another is labor. The third is
environment. And the fourth is anti-corruption.
So again, this is a very simple and straightforward description of the Placing Foundation of
the United Nations Global Compact.
And their principles were asked me each of you to not just understand what these principles
are, but to embed them in your own operation on a regular, ongoing basis.
So let me go back to a little more. Yes, it is important too for you. to connect the dots
between what's happening in the worldwide United Nations Global Compact and what you're
actually doing.
And for example, here, you can find out where you can engage locally. And this is the
infrastructure that the United Nations Global Compact uses.
This is based in New York and the United States. But it has local networks set up around the
world so that you and your local community can know what is necessary for you to be able to
impact one and more of the sustainable development goals.
And you'll find out that these local networks are aligned with the sustainable development
goals. This is where you connect your local non-governmental organization.
with your government and businesses. But it's up to you as a civil society volunteer to beat
the ambassador for your local community.
You have to do the work. again, these are places where you can find information to help you
understand what's going on around you and learn ways that you can begin to actively
participate with the activities going on in your local community.
For example, again, Africa has more than 1,000 companies and non-business private sector
stakeholders that are participating in the global compact against 45 countries in Africa.

They believe that the region's voice for invigorated sustainable growth. voted by several
factors, including continental agreements like agenda 2063, the Africa we want, and the
African continental free trade area.
One Africa robust digital and technological innovations, abundance of renewable energies,
resources, a demographic dividend presented by a youthful population being about 60
percent of 1.3 billion people below 25 years, an environment small and medium enterprise
sub-sector.
The region however continues to grapple with challenges related to limited access to
favorable sustainable finance, global competition, large informal economy, limitations of
infrastructure, negative effects from climate change, and most notably, the COVID-19.
19 crisis that has contributed to the deceleration of progress for its agenda 2060 agenda
2030. So again I'm going to click right here on the UN Global Compact Africa Strategy.
But this is a library again available in the library and the Africa Strategy aims to accelerate
and scale the impact of a private sector to have progress towards the sustainable
development goals across the African continent.
I'm going to take you back now to the UN Global Compact Network and that's your quarterly
newsletter because this is where you find the connection between what the organization is
seeing they want to do and how you can get involved locally with these actions.
activities. Again, what I began by sharing with you at the very beginning is that this national,
Nigerian national petroleum company officially joined the United Nations Global Compact
recently, just a few months ago.
So they are and you fresh members. I didn't share with you more, but I will walk through this
now because this is critically important.
This is today's lesson, information that is right now available. This signing secretary was
organized and I'll make this large here if I can.
So once again, these are the key people that are representing your interests at the United
Nations Global Compact and in your local community.
You'll see that there is an executive director of you and Global Compact Network in Nigeria.
Her name is Naomi E.
Nicola Esquire. When you click on this link, you can actually go to find out that this is a live
person.
You can actually connect with her directly and find out more information about the people
behind the titles. Naomi E.
Nicola is an executive director, she's attorney, she's a human rights activist, she focuses on
environmental, social, and governance ESG.

Again, it's important that you begin to prepare yourself to get involved with making decisions
that will put you at the table instead of giving you on the menu, so to speak.
Just a background about this person who's representing your interests, whether you know it
or not, it's up to you to find out who's door you can knock on to make a difference in your
local community.
Again, this is Naomi E. Nicola and she is in fact your representative in Nigeria for all of the
members of the United Nations Global Compact in Nigeria.
She's an award-winning international business leader with ten years of combined
experience, promoting human rights and environmental social and corporate governance on
the global scale.
She possesses knowledge and experience and designing a business sustainability strategy
to see it's to its implementation. She's exceptional in engaging stakeholders, forging
relationships, etc.
So I'm not going to take the time to read this to you, but I do want to take time to make sure
that you understand where you can go to find out how you can become more active and
engaged in your local area with people and organizations.
any events that will have a major impact on your life, on your family, and on our future. So
again, this is today's lesson, this one document.
So your homework will come out of here when we ask you what the name is of the person
that's responsible for a human global compact in Nigeria.
This information you need to have. Just get a year, we won't be happy to test like that. But it
is important that you understand who is involved with what you're doing.
What you may or may not know is that Nigeria has a state-owned petroleum company. There
are many private companies that own the oil in the ground.
But there is one organization that's representing your interests. When you pay your taxes,
you become part of the property.
Please owned by the state of Nigeria or the country of Nigeria. And you need to know who
the people are that are representing these companies.
In this case, this will be Milley Kajari. He's the chief executive officer of NNPC Limited. Again,
he's on Facebook.
His information is there. You can see his background. And if you don't know this information,
I'm urging you to take the time to familiarize yourself with who we'll be dealing with and also
prepare yourself to be able to be introduced in such a professional manner as well.

The organization that you represent is very familiar, I would think. So most of you that are
here from Nigeria.
But for you, those of you who are not, I'm going to click on the link and you'll find a lot more
about NNPC.
This is the National Petroleum Company owned by Nigeria, not by companies from other
countries, but by the country of Nigeria itself.
So, when you have a problem in your area, you need to know who to reach out to. This is a
group of people who dedicated their lives to gain education necessary to represent your
interests not only in Nigeria but around the world.
This group of people here are supported by the SME Future Forward Project funded by the
MacArthur Foundation. It's aimed at improving your
corporate governance, ethics, and sustainability of micro small and medium enterprises.
Again, this is where you come in. You have more non-governmental organizations in Nigeria
than you have businesses, but it's up to you to hold those businesses accountable.
In many cases, you cannot reach the major corporations, but you can reach the micro small
and medium enterprise enterprises in your own area.
Again, all these were represented. The ones here are represented by the UN Global
Compact Network in Nigeria. This information here is not about something that happened 15
years ago or 2000.
This happened two months ago. And so you can find information out about what you're doing
can actually become involved with the future.
In this particular case, this is the online zone. and the UN Global Combat Network Nigeria
worked with the Dangoji Group to conclude the 2023 sustainable supplier impact program for
24 companies.
The question you need to be asking is how many of those companies are in your area? How
many of them are you already supporting?
And who can you reach to connect the dots between what's happening on the ground in your
area and how you can impact the future of your community and the future of Africa?
Again, this newsletter is just sharing with you that that can August and endoti made the
commitment to working through the United Nations Global Compact to take the message of
sustainability to the 2023 Africa Social Impact Summit.
This involved not just big companies or corporations but leaders from private and public
sectors, civil society organizations, the development community, and the United Nations.

They were all in Lagos, Nigeria on August 10th 11th to explore innovative, sustainable
solutions to Africa's key developmental challenges.
You can find here online the so-afforded social impacts summit review and a theme, global
vision, local action, repositioning the African development ecosystem for sustainable
outcomes.
I'll come back to that in just a moment. I do want to share with you though that 16,000 young
people were upskilled by the allowance for youth in Nigeria.
So when people ask me, why should we be interested in the United Nations global compact?
What I tell them is that once you begin to identify the activity
that are already happening in your area, you can then address those resources to your own
activities. For example, on August 11, members of the Alliance for Youth Nigeria.
You're Global Compact Network, Nigeria, Nestle, Nigeria, Joverman, Nigeria, Big Bot lane
company, Limited, and you connect human resources limited with partners such as the
Federal Ministry of Youth and Sports Development, the Legal State Employment Trust Fund,
and Activate Success International.
Mark the 2023 International Youth Day, and commemorate its second year anniversary.
Now, what they did in July is organize a five-day vocational skills training program, the
benefit of five-day and 25 people in Kano and Oyo States.
26 high-flyers were gifted startup gifts to enable the the commitment of their various
businesses. I'm going to click here for more information because these could be stories
about the World Humanitarian Organization for peace and equity activities.
Just as we're having this online workshop, we can also have workshops that are impacting
not just the people that are coming here right now, but we can also provide vocational
workshop skills training.
This is an example that I'm suggesting that we take advantage of. We pay attention to what's
already happening in our community by members of the United Nations Global Compact,
and then we reach out to those companies that are already members.
It cost about, I think, itself, $55,000 narrow for organizations in join. We're not asking you to
spend your money to join the United Nations Global Compact.
asked you to do is to connect with those companies and organizations that are already there
so that you can help them accomplish their goals and objectives at the same time perhaps
generate the income and resources that will encourage you and people in your local
community to understand why it's important that you join together so that you two can
become part of the solution in that part of the problem.

Moderator, I'm going to end the session with this final review and then we'll open up the floor
for any comments or questions and then we'll be ready to proceed to tomorrow's final
workshop.
As we complete today's presentation we're all working again from one document is all linked
in and it's the UN Global Compact.
Not your quarterly new Twitter. I suggest This become your homework. So that next month
or next quarter, we can have an article in here about work that we are doing.
So that we can become part of the solution and that part of the problem. This final section
deals with what's called Fort Sassar 2030.
Again, these are initiatives that are already ongoing. No one is asking you to spend time to
think about what you should be doing or could be doing to help a comprehensive goals and
objectives of your mission.
We're asking you to pay attention to what's already happening and then you prepare yourself
to become part of this ongoing activity.
These lists are the most recent organizations that join the Global Compact in Nigeria. I'm
recommending that you make it your business to reach out to them as well.
and to introduce yourself to them, but first prepare yourself by identifying which of the 17
sustainable development goals your organization is working with and also your own strategy
for describing how your project's impact one of more of those goals and then take the time to
determine how you can best expand your successful work by working with new organizations
that are already dedicated to these same objectives.
So again, this is completing, we're coming to the conclusion of today's presentation. Again,
it's an open source, it's an open book test.
The only question is how, what it is you're doing can be identified with ongoing work and
activities and how you can begin to participate with ongoing activities.
that can allow you to improve your own capacity to develop solutions for your own
organization and for your local community.
Finally, the United Nations Global Compact works with other UN agencies such as UN
Women UN Women. In this particular case, last month on June, October 19, this division
overview of a women's empowerment principles and how that provides a framework for
companies to provide solutions for their women.
A little many of you are focused on FGG number five, gender equality. I'm just suggesting
that you begin to link together your own local activities along with this sustainable, available
goals and work through members of the United Nations Global Compact to bring this closely
to your community.

Thank you so much, Ambassador Andrew, for that I open in teaching. Thank you for your
time. thank you for being so very deep in this.
You know, you really made mention of a lot of people, if you give us information, that's what
help us know exactly what or how we can also contribute to this UNJC course and very
grateful at least.
Now I'm sure that our participants they know what to do, where to go to. And I'm so glad that
a lot of a lot of people in Nigeria, I mean Nigeria has a lot of representatives here in North.
Now, Mayworkulu, you know, so we can just go to LinkedIn to check out or to see, you know,
what we can do or how, we can also participate.
And also the fact that there are a lot of organizations that we can also collaborate with, you
know, who are already affiliated to UNGC course, you know, we know what to do and how to
go about it.
Most importantly is that at the end of this, it's just for us to know how to contribute to our
immediate community, you know, how to be, you know, just how to bring out life, you know,
to this course of humanitarian and all that.
So thank you so much again, Ambassador. I'm going to now go back to our participants who
have been listening attentively, who have paid attention up to your now.
Okay, so. This is a time for everybody to say one or two things to the ambassador. Please,
please, please, people, I do not want to hear or to see that nobody has anything to say
today.
I want somebody to have something to say, at least let's say five to ten people. Because I
feel like there's a lot of information that's still kind of hiding a lot of places, ways we can
contribute to I feel if you voice it out now, the ambassador is ready to share more light to the
roses to know.
So now we're going back to our participants. I want to hear from you. put up your hand using
the untrace icon and then I'll call you.
Okay. So let's hear from you our participants today.
And I don't know if you're first I think faster James is trying to get their attention for it or.

So I lift the Chaplain. Are you? Chaplain, are you available now? Maybe we can't hear from
you first. Chaplain.
Well technology is only great when it works. It looks like we lost them. I do see Hamza.
Hamza, can't please go or meet yourself and let's hear from you please.
@45:37 - Hamza Auta Mohammed
All right. know online or zoom?
Good afternoon. Good afternoon.
Thank you. Good afternoon, Ambassador.
Green sir.
Yes. I want to thank you and thank madam for fitting this wonderful platform for this course.
issues of national consign all over the world today the issues that are to do with the
humanitarian that issues that are to do with the disaster aspect the safety and whatever
aspect in the world today.
So many issues are there, official needs to come aboard, people need to come aboard with
different ideas and knowledge, expertise on how we can solve some of these problems.

I think for the past two days I've been silent, I've not had anything because I wanted to
gather more that has a Our technology is all agree one person procedures
Hello.
Yes sir. Sam's out.
We lost to us on points. Yeah, see that all over you. Probably would do over. Yeah, we did
not say what you said before.
What did you say?
We did not hear you your video froze. So we did not hear you. Say again what you said. And
then we'll go.
Okay. What I was saying. What I was saying was I was saying that first of all I want to thank
you for creating this opportunity for us to discuss issues.
That's a do it on monetary and I'm going to live and do issues that do it disaster and safety
management.
I think in life. I will will I will I say this the first time I had an interaction online.
And the issues that are so do with Mancheryan activities in all over the world today, because
United Nations stand that.
I feel I've really got a lot of knowledge from them before yesterday to today. I've got more
knowledge about Mancheryan activity.

And I sincerely want to thank you and thank the organizers of this noble platform. I think
Mancheryan, me, I feel...
Hello.
Sorry, sorry.
Sorry, sorry.
Yes, sorry. I think we want to know how some of us can link up to other Mancheryan
organizations, all over the world.
How? use Raymond Hinti, kinti, kinti, kinti, kinti, kinti, kinti, kinti, kinti, kinti, kinti, kinti, kinti,
kinti, kinti, kinti, kinti, kinti, kinti, kinti, kinti, kinti, kinti, kinti, kinti, kinti, kinti, kinti, kinti, kinti,
kinti, kinti, kinti, kinti, kinti kinti, kinti, kinti, kinti, kinti, kinti, kintidi, kinti, kinti, kinti, kinti,
just have more ideas that we can use to contribute to our own quota. We know knowledge is
lost. If we can get more knowledge, get more materials that we can read on our own, do
research on our own, I think we can contribute to quota.
So I want to thank everybody, I want to thank the organization, the organizers of this
platform.
Thank you so much, sir. Well, you go, let me say, ask you whether you are registered at
WDAC. H nobody eat that or are you registered as a volunteer with both?
That's the first question. You.

Okay. Can you can you can you drop can you can you drop the the either the link to me on
the on the charts so that we can go.
It's in the chat.
Okay.
Okay. Okay. So what I'm asking you to do is to identify. What we are doing, for example,
your disaster planning preparation, that impacts sustainable developer goal number 16,
which is a little piece just as strong institutions.
Your work is a bit important, but it's up to you to identify how you as either as an individual or
as an organization are addressing that particular need.
Then you need to go through each of the 17 sustainable development goals to determine
which one or really, I would suggest, you define how your activity impacts all of the goals, all
17, but you have to be the one to determine which one to start with to begin with.
Then the next step is to make your own business plan for how what you're doing now needs
to expand.
The working is individual, it sounds like, but if you want to become involved with a worldwide
network of others,
working in same area, then again join with both, get with Pastor James, and let's plan out
ways we can work in networks together as we go forward.
Finally, I would suggest that because of the work you're in, you consider joining the Black
Emergency Management Association, be an international.

They're a part of our team, and also they're very much focused on disaster planning and
preparation. So if that's a field that you're in, then align yourself with others that are already
in that field.
So then you can begin to add your strength to their strength. That we might suggest in Sir.
Also, put your question in the chat, even though you talked about it, put it in the chat along
with your name, and your follow-up information so that we can connect with you directly.
Back to you moderator.
Thank you very much. Thank you so much sir. Thank you so much.
Thank you very much, Ambassador. I'm really grateful for that explanation. now you're late.

Well, thank you very much, Mr. Ogeke. As for me, I actually didn't get what you said. I don't
know if the ambassador was able to hear you.
How much is the, did you hear him?
No, but if he could type information in the chat, question or comments, we can follow up. I
cannot hear.

But I would ask for housekeeping. If now a big time for you to do a roll call to make sure that

go.

I do want to ask everyone to tomorrow to come ready to describe which of the 17 sustainable
development goals you are most interested in.
And are most active in. And that each of you have already registered as a volunteer on the
FOLP website and identify who you are, what you bring to the table, and what you need to
move forward.
So that's what I would urge everyone to do. Thank you so much. And to let you know
moderator, we have an unusual situation.
I inadvertently made the AI the host. And the AI can't in the program. So we're going to hit
this after leave because I can't in the program until we get through.
So after closing thoughts, we just have to leave.
Okay. All right. All right. Not a problem. All right. Thank you guys. Once again for coming.
