Description
The "initiative" can be described as projects geared towards supporting the implementation of the sustainable development goals by 2030. Implementation methodologies are: students are made to choose projects of their choice that can help in the achievement of any of the sustainable goals; the projects are developed and implemented with partners by linking them to organizations whose work is related to the projects chosen; the projects are financed by the students; ad hoc fund raising is done in support of the implementation of the projects; and sometimes partners provide support in cash or kind. Monitoring and following up mechanisms Different groups of students are encouraged to continue the same projects in the same communities their seniors implemented them in as a form of sustainability and follow-up, and I personally monitor the implementation and visit some of the communities to see whether the projects were sustainable.
Efficient use of water, environmental hygiene, reduction in poverty, availability of water, good health and wellbeing, food and nutrition security, climate resilience, increased enrollment, improvement in academic performance, decent work, poverty reduction, etc.

The University for Development Studies is implementing several projects geared towards the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals. Among the many are the activities embarked on by the Faculty of Sustainable Development and WACWISA, which I personally lead. The activities are on-going in the sense that projects are implemented by students every academic year as part of their assessment, and they are built into the course outline and content. They are compulsory and a major part of the assessment scores. Practical, action-oriented projects on all the courses I teach at the university and supervise myself I helped students implement similar projects on the field practical training program I coordinated for two years. WACWISA project is a big one called WEST AFRICAN CENTER FOR WATER, IRRIGATION AND SUSTAINABLE AGRICULTURE and financed by Government of Ghana and World bank and their focus is on Water Resource Management; Irrigation and Drainage Systems; Sustainable Agriculture; Climate Change; Food & Nutrition Security. They have a lot of partners. The university has a flagship program called the third trimester practical training program, which is carried out on an annual basis and is compulsory for every first and second year student of the university. I coordinated this program for two years and made all students in the communities participate. I coordinated and implemented several projects in areas of most of the sustainable development goals, including education, poverty eradication, sanitation and hygiene, rainwater harvesting and treatment, judicious use of water, food security, nutrition;
