SocialGood Lagos: Leveraging Technology and New Media for Good, through strategic partnership and education

“Poverty eradication is at the heart of the 2030 Agenda, and so is the commitment to leave no-one beheind.”

Achin Steiner, UNDP Administrator.

The 17 Goals of the Sustainable Development Goals build on the successes of the Millennium Development Goals, introducing new areas such as climate change, economy inequality, innovation, sustainable consumption, peace and justice, among other priorities. Therefore, the importance of partnership cannot be overemphasized in the move to promoting Sustainable Development.

Social Good Lagos is a community of professionals and thought leaders who are dedicated to using new media and digital technologies to enhance social good initiatives through partnerships, collaborations and innovation. A community United by a shared vision, leveraging on the power of new media and technology to make the world a better place.

Social Good Lagos is the newest of the United Nations Foundation +SocialGood Community (plussocialgood.org). Other chapters includes Social Good Brazil, Social Good Peru, Social Good Ghana amongst many others.

“We are committed to the promotion of new media and technology for achieving Sustainable Development by community education, advocacy and creating connecting and empowering platforms for change makers to share and hatch innovative solutions.”

The Social Good Lagos Community invites you as we officially launch out on the 5th of May, 2018, at 12PM WAT. Join the conversation @SocialGoodLagos on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram using the #SocialGoodLagos.

The Artistic Mind of a Criminal

I used to have a client who is a professor when it comes to art, paintings and antiques. He paints one portrait and makes millions out of it and that really fascinated me so much that I started doing some research into the Art, paintings and antiques industry. I discovered that the painting industry in Ghana is very small and young but elsewhere in the world, it is a huge industry which contributes significantly to the economy of these countries. The USA economy in 2014 and 2015 benefited US$730 billion and US$763.6 billion respectively from the Art, Paintings and Antiques sector(1). US$12 billion (£9.2 billion) was contributed to the UK GDP in 2016 from the Art and Painting sector(2) with Singapore’s Art and Painting contributing S$2.13 billion to the GDP in 2013(3).
