Fulfilling Our Purpose

We know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose. – Romans 8:28 NIV

 

Sometimes it can be difficult to live out our life’s purpose. We have a choice to either remain in the current situation or move on. Having gratitude can also assist us in achieving our life’s goals. All we have to do is make sure we are surrounded by thankful hearts rather than hostile ones, and be careful to surround ourselves with individuals who can have a great impact on our lives and encourage us to succeed. Since we are “formed in the image” of God in many ways, the wonderful future that awaits all people in the very Kingdom or Family of God is virtually beyond human conception. If we are willing to submit to Him, He will work with us. He is forming and reshaping us. He will continue to impart wisdom to us throughout time, but we must be prepared to humbly dedicate ourselves to God and actively seek out His will for our life.

Realizing why we were created is the simplest definition of fulfilling our purpose. Vision is sparked and developed by purpose, and passion is then fed by vision. Success is a byproduct of passion. Everything on earth was designed for a purpose including us, thus, it is our job to identify and move to achieve our mission. Everyone has a purpose in life. Our existence in this world and our birth are neither accidental nor the result of chance. The fact that no two persons on earth have the same fingerprints serves as proof that the world needs what we alone can provide.

Although our purposes differ from person to person, our main objective is to exalt God. Here are some actions we can do right away to start living out our God-given purpose.

 

  •  Become accessible to Him

We must first make ourselves available for God to use if we are to accomplish our purpose. We may occasionally have to take actions we are not prepared to take if we allow the Holy Spirit to guide us. It could need stepping outside of our normal routine, but when we do so, let us keep in mind that we can do all things through Christ who gives us strength (Philippians 4:13).

 

  •  Examine our abilities.

God grants us spiritual gifts, but often our purpose calls for us to use the abilities and skills we were born with. We need to take some time to consider the things we do well, and consider how we may use those abilities, resources, and talents to exalt God.

 

  •  Consider several options.

We will likely discover certain areas in which we need improvement as we evaluate our abilities. We should not let what we perceive to be inherent incapability keep us from doing new things. Our mission can occasionally be found in hidden talents. Given the variety of ministries available within the church, it is a wonderful place to try new things. It should be our mission to test out new ministries.

 

  • Ask God to reveal our purpose in prayer.

Let us ponder it in prayer. Ask God to disclose our unique calling. Ask Him to reveal to us how we might accomplish our purpose. We will eventually need to remind ourselves of our goals and the calling that God has placed on our lives.

Forgiveness and Reconciliation

“He does not treat us as our sins deserve or repay us according to our iniquities. For as high as the heavens are above the earth, so great is his love for those who fear him; as far as the east is from the west, so far has he removed our transgressions from us.” Psalm 103:10-12 NIV

 

Who has never been harmed by the remarks or deeds of some other? Perhaps your spouse had an affair, your father continuously berated you as a child, or you went through a tragic experience like being physically or emotionally molested by a family member. If you do not practice forgiveness, you can be the one who suffers the most from these wounds, leaving you with lingering sentiments of resentment and wrath. You can embrace joy, serenity, hope, and thankfulness by practicing forgiveness. Think about the path to emotional, physical, and spiritual well-being that forgiveness can take you.

To each person, forgiveness means something different. To let go of bitterness and thoughts of revenge is necessary, though. Although the act that injured or offended you might still be with you, forgiving the offender might assist loosen its hold on you and help you break free from their grasp. Even feelings of comprehension, compassion, and love for the person who injured you might arise after you have forgiven them. While it does not imply erasing or dismissing the hurt done to you or making amends with the offender, forgiveness does create a sense of calm that makes it easier to move on with your life.

When someone you truly love hurts you, it might make you angry, upset, and unstable. Grudges can develop into feelings of hatred, revenge, and animosity if you focus on upsetting occasions or circumstances. You risk being overcome by your resentment or desire for revenge if you let negative emotions overpower happy ones. Even though you harbor resentment, you can develop greater forgiveness skills because doing so has many advantages. Some of the benefits include improved mental health, healthier relationships, less stress, anxiety, and aggression.

Forgiveness can result in reconciliation if the hurtful occurrence involved a person with whom you otherwise value your relationship. However, this is not always the case. If the perpetrator has passed away or refuses to communicate with you, reconciliation might not be feasible. In other instances, reconciliation might not be suitable. However, even if it is impossible, forgiveness is still a possibility.


You will stop defining your life by the ways you have been wronged as you let go of your grudges. Keep in mind, though, that you can not make someone forgive you. Others must forgive at their own pace. Whatever occurs, commit to treating people with respect, understanding, and compassion.

Avoiding Office Conflict

“A hot-tempered person stirs up conflict, but the one who is patient calms a quarrel.” – Proverbs 15:18

Anywhere there is human connection, conflict must inevitably exist. However, some confrontations cannot be avoided, which is why every employee needs to be familiar with conflict resolution techniques. Teams must cooperate, and disagreements must be kept to a minimum if an organization is to grow and advance. People are special, so we frequently tend to respond to situations differently. Small disagreements can, however, balloon into larger ones if they go unresolved. Therefore, all parties concerned in any problem topic must present on an open platform to address difficulties and find a solution to avoid such workplace confrontations.

Conflict at work is characterized as a significant disagreement of opinion that exists at the workplace. It could begin with a straightforward grievance or simply a difference of opinion. Many times, these problems either get better over time or go away on their own.

When discussing the root causes of problems at work, backbiting, gossip, and choosing sides, which frequently results in partiality, are some of the worst offenders. It is a recipe for disaster in the job to support someone solely because they are your friend rather than based on their deeds or character. Influencing and pushing views on employees rather than being flexible can be problematic for employers and team leaders alike. Team members may retain grudges against their boss. Additionally, if team members’ duties and skills are not compatible, it may cause friction and hinder the attainment of the company objectives.

There are many ways to prevent conflict in the workplace as well as methods for effective conflict resolution. Below are a few guidelines to follow.

 

● Define acceptable conduct.

This is the first action to take if we want to decrease the frequency of disagreements at work. Standard operating procedures, operating policies, and even dress rules should all be stated in detail in a document that is kept in the office. Additionally, it must define what constitutes inappropriate conduct in simple, comprehensive terms. We cannot hold people accountable for wrongdoing if they do not know what is appropriate or inappropriate.

 

● Communicate.

When expressing our ideas at work, we must be careful to utilize exact and plain language. We must avoid taking the chance of being misinterpreted. Also, we must make sure the setting is appropriate before giving a speech or a presentation.

 


● Encourage employees with kindness.

We must make sure that our input is constructive when giving it to coworkers or team members. People around us, especially if we are team leaders, should know that we appreciate their efforts and want to see them succeed. Positive feedback would motivate the rest of the team to follow suit.

 

● Humor never does anyone any harm.

Let us make an effort to be humorous at work. This is yet another excellent means of preventing problems at work. Let us encourage some lightheartedness at work for team leaders and managers. We do not want our staff to get overworked just because they cannot take a break. In the end, we would have underproductive employees and a failing company. Starting our meetings with entertaining ice breakers or a hilarious joke is one way we can make this work. We could occasionally even send an email to the entire department simply for laughs.

Staying Calm In The Midst of a Storm

“Then they cried out to the Lord in their trouble, and he brought them out of their distress. He stilled the storm to a whisper; the waves of the sea were hushed. They were glad when it grew calm, and he guided them to their desired haven. Let them give thanks to the Lord for his unfailing love and his wonderful deeds for mankind.” – Psalm 107:28-31 NIV


If we wish to maintain our composure throughout a storm, we must accept the fact that some storms are unavoidable. We still experience life’s storms even if we follow and obey Jesus. God has not guaranteed us a faultless existence because we are all susceptible to this fallen world, but He has promised to stay by our sides during our trials. Of course, following Christ has many advantages: tranquility, joy, atonement, freedom, and the list goes on. Even though we will experience storms in this life, those storms do not prevent us from reaping the rewards of our faith in Christ. The storm cannot keep us from Christ’s calm, yet following Him does not exempt us from it. The serenity we seek amid our storms does not originate with the passing of the storm; rather, it originates with God. Jesus frankly reveals to us:


“I have said these things to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world.” (John 16:33 ESV)


We occasionally face difficulties or events like storms. Life’s storms are challenging situations that we encounter in our walk with the Lord. Storms might take the shape of illness, financial difficulty, family issues, etc. It may begin to feel as though God is dozing off when we are frantically pleading to Him during times of trouble.

We may be interested in how the storms we may be facing today are impacting our faith, and we wonder if we are so focused on the physical danger that we are ignoring how the storm is gradually changing our perspective of God. Storms have a way of reminding us that we are not in control, and then we forget that God is. Things we used to not even question or worry about are now nervously keeping us up at night.

Here is the reality that we must accept if we wish to stay calm during a storm. Even when everything went as we wanted it to, we were never in charge, and the same God who is in charge of our prosperous seasons is also in charge of our trying seasons.
Life’s storms cannot divert us from understanding who our God is if we want to remain peaceful in them.


We must be careful not to let the storm make us lose sight of the fact that God is greater and deserving of our all.

Overcoming Lust

The mind governed by the flesh is death, but the mind governed by the Spirit is life and peace. – Romans 8:6 NIV

 

To feel passion or sexual desire is quite normal. Your emotions can be centered on a certain individual, or you might find yourself pulled to things like masturbating or watching porn. These desires, however, might occasionally be excessive or unwelcome. There are things you may do to handle those uncomfortable thoughts and feelings if you just can’t seem to get rid of them. Your doctor or a counselor can assist if you’re having trouble handling it on your own.

Lust is a psychological phenomenon that causes an overwhelming desire for something or a situation even though the desirer already has a sizable amount of the object in question. While comparable to passion, lust differs from passion in that the former inspires people to pursue charitable objectives while the latter does not.

Here are some pointers for overcoming lust.

  • Establish limits for yourself

You can better control your desires by avoiding temptations. For instance, acquire an application or internet extension to block enticing websites if you’re prone to viewing porn every time you’re on your computer. Alternatively, if you are having trouble controlling your sexual urges toward a certain individual, try to spend as little time as possible with them. It may be more difficult to resist sexual cravings if your behavior is more widely known.

  1. Consider using your computer in a public area rather than by yourself in your room, such as a park bench or coffee shop.
  2. Bring a friend with you if you’re going to a bar or the beach so they can keep you busy and diverted from people-spotting.
  3. Avoid looking at their social media or attempting to attract their attention if you have feelings for a particular person.

 

  • Discover your triggers

It is simpler to regulate your urges if you are aware of them. Consider what’s happening the next time you feel lustful. Do you, for instance, have more erotic thoughts while you are bored or under stress? What happens when you are around particular individuals or in particular settings (like at the beach or a bar)? Make a list of the things that you notice seem to bring up those undesirable thoughts and sensations, and jot down some suggestions for how to handle those triggers.

      1. For example, if you notice that your lustful thoughts occur more frequently when you are bored, find activities to keep your mind occupied. When doing monotonous chores like folding clothes, try listening to music or a fascinating podcast.

      2. You might become aware that you’ve been using sexual ideas or actions as a stress reliever. Make it a goal to develop better habits and new coping mechanisms.

 

  • Find productive methods to pass the time

Distract yourself and let off some steam with enjoyable hobbies and pastimes. The next time you find yourself thinking about something sexual, go for a run or contact a friend and chat. Another option is to engage in creative activities like painting, music, or cooking. This will assist in diverting your attention from your undesired cravings.

      1. Instead of focusing on the person you’re lusting over, concentrate on activities that make you feel good about yourself.

Keep in mind that lust is a sin and that it breeds other sins; as a result, be deliberate in your efforts to restrain it.

Starting Your Day Right | A Necessary Habit

“I can do all things through Him who strengthens me.” – Philippians 4:13.

 

Starting the day off well is the first step in making the most of each new day and getting the most out of your day. The most important factor in determining how well your day goes is what you do in the first hour of the new day. So, how do you get a good start on the day?

A healthy mind will always be associated with a healthy body, therefore having a negative attitude toward activities can have a significant impact on your mental health, which in turn manifests physically.

Finding out what constitutes a positive attitude and how to put it into practice may be of interest. It is largely straightforward. Here are a few strategies for maintaining good health by getting off to a good start each day.

  • Be thankful that you are still alive to experience a new day

Give thanks to God when you first open your eyes to a new day. Be thankful as you get out of bed and put your feet on the floor. Being grateful for the chance of a fresh day as you get up and begin your day is important. As the day goes on, don’t stop being grateful.

  •  Decide to be joyful

It will raise you and bring you happiness to be thankful and to express your gratitude for where you are and what you have. No matter what happened yesterday or what you could encounter today or tomorrow, make the decision to be joyful and keep it that way.

  • Seek spiritual direction for the coming day

Communicate with your creator first, then turn on your phone or other devices to access the outside world. You only need a few minutes in the morning to pray and meditate, therefore choose a strategy that works for you and stick with it; for instance, consider 15 minutes of affirmations and prayers.

  • Be considerate

Start with your own family at home and extend love and compassion to all who cross your path. Genuinely greet them in the morning, express your love and gratitude, and use phrases that will make them feel better.

  • Show love

Loving oneself is one of the nicest things you can do for yourself to start the day off well. Negativity and undesirable results are more likely to occur if you don’t love yourself because you are unlikely to admire or respect anything you accomplish.

Every day that comes along is a gift and a chance for a fresh start. It offers a chance to restart and make amends for mistakes made in the past. However, it is incredibly simple to continue with the same routine that stifles innovation or improvement. As Christians, it is therefore expected of you to start each day off well by following these guidelines. Doing so will ensure that you receive much more out of the day as it goes along and allows you to conclude the day with a sense of fulfillment.

 

How else can you start your day right? Let us know in the comments below. Do not forget to share this with a friend who may need it.

 

Unconditional Love and Joy | A Guide To a Happier Life

“Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins.” – 1 Peter 4:8

 

Happiness is, for the most part, conditional. That means that we believe that to relax and enjoy life, we must first solve an issue or accomplish a goal. The problems can be major or minor. We think we would finally be satisfied and complete if we could simply figure out these issues and acquire what we desire. We would not feel as though our lives are incomplete or that we are constantly moving toward something. Will we ever feel as though we have arrived, even if we do manage to have everything under control? I am guessing no. Or if we do, it is short-lived. The problem is this. All of our problem-solving and planning keep us in our heads, and if we are always thinking, rather than acting, we are unable to feel the fullness of our being because we are unable to be in our bodies.

One may want to know what unconditional love is. Affection without restrictions or love without conditions, therefore, are other names for unconditional love. This phrase is occasionally used in conjunction with phrases like genuine benevolence or unwavering love. Unconditional love is defined differently in each field of study, but most experts will agree that it is the kind of love that has no boundaries and is unchangeable.

Associating with individuals who genuinely love you will help you experience unconditional love, whilst practicing joy daily is necessary. Here are some suggestions about how to properly have these.

  • Practice Unconditional Self-Love First

Before we love ourselves, we cannot love others. We believe we are not deserving of love, though, much too often. We search for love and someone to fill the emptiness in our hearts when we feel empty of it. The only way we can experience love is if we let go of the love we have accepted for ourselves. Genuine self-love is not pompous. The deepest humility serves as its foundation since self-love is a reflection of the divine nature that resides inside each of us. There is no benchmark for measuring other love if we do not first love ourselves. We feel undeserving of any other love if we do not love ourselves. After all, how can I expect anyone else to love me if I cannot even love myself?

 

  • Recognize God’s Unconditional Loving Presence

Through prayer and meditation, we can recognize the source of divine love in ourselves. That unconditional love of the divine spirit expressed through each of us blesses every facet of our lives.
“The power of unconditional love is God’s power. There is no other power.” – Rev. Hawkins

 

  • Practice Unconditional Love And Joy In Your Community

We have the opportunity to put unconditional love into practice every time we interact with people. We can recognize the enduring presence of love in the warmth and light of our loved ones and strangers. Even in difficult times or when other people test us, viewing the world through the prism of love enables us to recognize each person’s perfect flaw. Work to follow the still, little voice inside to fully accept the people, places, things, and occurrences around you when you are in the company of others.
Additionally, keep in mind that God is full of joy and loves everyone without exception.

Living a Chaste Life

“Flee from sexual immorality. Every other sin a person commits is outside the body, but the sexually immoral person sins against his own body. Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, whom you have from God? You are not your own, for you were bought with a price. So, glorify God in your body.” – 1 Corinthians 6:18-20


Many young couples earnestly adhere to the Church’s teachings that restrict having sex before marriage. They are aware of the many compelling arguments supporting the notion that fornication is fundamentally sinful. Even though these young couples have the best of intentions and a strong desire to maintain their chastity, they frequently encounter extreme temptation, and some give in to that desire, occasionally leading to pregnancies.


Chastity, therefore, is an attribute connected to temperance. According to their state of life, a chaste person abstains from either sexual conduct deemed immoral or any sexual activity. Chastity and celibacy are synonymous in some situations, such as when one takes a pledge of chastity.


Without chastity, the virtue that allows us to regulate our sexual urges rather than let them control us, it is almost impossible to have a happy marriage. Chastity is also a challenging virtue to grow in. It will be extremely challenging to develop after marriage if it is not fully formed before marriage. Therefore, achieving the virtue of chastity is something that should be done before getting married.

Ponder about some specific actions you can take to complete this wonderful mission, and keep in mind that you can still go back no matter how far you’ve already traveled in the opposite direction.

 

  •  Avoid becoming too emotionally dependent on one another.

This could seem unusual because, after all, you are in love, but with a certain degree of “all-out dependency,” that love rapidly turns into an emotional attachment that hinders you from getting to know each other all that well. Such dependence is evident when you talk on the phone for hours on end and cannot wait for the next call; if the call does not come, you panic, believing your friend does not love you; when you believe you must do everything including studying together; and when you schedule your days so that you are in close contact. Undue sexual closeness is the logical conclusion of this immature reliance.

 

  •  Steer clear of potential sinful situations.

This notion is frequently regarded as archaic and prudishly out of date today. It is a pearl of sensible advice that will be helpful to young couples with their unique endeavor. It means that you should not spend alone time when you are alone together. Spend time together in public places like parks and shopping centers. This is realistic, not conservative.

 

  • You can cultivate the virtue of purity, which purifies the mind and heart of lust, alongside the virtue of chastity, which is so intimately related to it.

Young people can get their heads “out of the gutter,” so to speak, by constant effort, working with God’s mercy, and with the aid of the graces. The freedom that comes from being free of dirty ideas is immense. One is free to treat people as people, and not as objects of emotion, for their own sake. And those who still have lingering habits of solitary sexual actions left over from a possible weakness in youth can rapidly and efficiently overcome them with the development of the twin virtues of chastity and purity.

One can only make an informed choice about marriage or celibacy when their sexual drive is under control. By adopting this mindset, many more people will enter religious life, many more marriages will be stable and happy, and many premarital couples will have far happier courtships.

Rosa Whitaker in Conversation with Hillary Clinton at the Boma of Africa 2022

Africa Integration Day is observed to honor significant accomplishments and events that have significantly contributed to the region’s full integration into the largest free-trade area in the world. Elders and communities assemble in Boma, which is a communal gathering place, to talk about problems and possible solutions as well as to share stories.

Rosa Whitaker, CEO, and President of the Whitaker Group

At the Boma of Africa 2022, Rosa Whitaker, CEO and President of the Whitaker Group and a former and inaugural Assistant U.S. Trade Representative for Africa, engaged in a conversation with Hillary Diane Rodham Clinton, the First Lady of the United States (1993–2001), and the 67th United States Secretary of State (2009-2013).

Although there are many challenges to the various advancements made since the founding of the Boma by the African Union as part of the Africa Integration Day, Hillary Diane Rodham Clinton believes that there is much to celebrate as she begins by describing Rosa Whitaker as a brilliant woman in all spheres of her life and by expressing gratitude for being a part of the year’s festival of ideas.

The prolonged COVID-19 pandemic, the outlook for post-pandemic economic growth, climate change, and Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, according to the former United States Secretary of State, Hillary Diane Rodham Clinton, will continue to have devastating effects on the continent, many of which Africa is not responsible for but which Africa must deal with the consequences of.

“Africa has the youngest fastest growing population in the world. That is a blessing, but is also a challenge.” – Hillary Diane Rodham Clinton

She continued by stating that she is well aware of the fact that women and girls worldwide, including in Africa, were disproportionately affected negatively by the pandemic. For this, African women, who she considers to be among the most inspirational and powerful individuals, have a larger role to play in their country’s economy, political system, and social structure. The former Secretary of State of the United States thinks it is critical to take all reasonable steps to open up these economic avenues for women on the continent, including a free-trade agreement, increased investment in women, and removing barriers that governments erect for women.

Hillary Diane Rodham Clinton’s Advice To African Nations

When asked what advice she would provide to African nations, Hillary Clinton responded that:

  • I think each nation should take a look at its strengths and shortcomings and capitalize on what works more for them.
  • Nations should reflect on their losses and make every effort to lessen them.
  • It is advised to have effective governance and consider GDP while tackling difficulties to reap the most benefits.

Although she expresses her views on the role of African women, she also thinks that it is crucial to give women access to investments and possibilities for advancement. She is quite optimistic about what the new century would bring.

The fact that life is not a straight line with solely pleasant days offers the former First Lady of the United States optimism. Hillary Diane Rodham Clinton was fortunate to have a mother who instilled resilience in her. No one can make someone feel horrible about themselves without that person’s consent, she continued. She counseled that one should keep it going for themselves whatever it is that motivates them. She ended by saying that whatever it is, it first manifests in the family before spreading over the neighborhood and beyond.

“Today, we have to keep going”- Hillary Clinton

Boma of Africa 2022 Live on Dominion Television

A PRECURSOR OF THE BOMA 2022

From extreme left: Fiona Achieng, Rita N.A. Arthur, Jesse Akosa, Nana A.A. Afful and Mark Atitsogbui

Following the Boma of Africa, which took place today, July 8, 2022, a precursor to the festival was hosted at the Dominion Television studios. The show’s hosts were Fiona Achieng and Mark Attitsogbui, both of whom are staff at the television station.

A session with some of Ghana’s promising youth

The guests, Jesse Akosa, a business development officer and trained data and financial analyst, Rita Nana Adwoa Arthur, a writer, poet, and filmmaker, Nana Akua Asante Afful, an artisan and second runner-up at the 2017 Ghana’s Most Beautiful, shared their opinions on a variety of themes, including but not limited to the changes they observed in their respective industries ten years ago as compared to the changes they hope to see in the next ten years, as host, Fiona Achieng remarked, “Ghanaian food is a work of art,” in addition to what they celebrate about Africa.

The team from Dominion Television went out into Accra’s streets in anticipation of the great event, Boma of Africa 2022, to find out what people’s opinions were. As they discussed why they believed corruption should be tackled at the festival, they praised the Boma of Africa as a fantastic event.

Boma of Africa; The festival of Ideas

The Boma’s first section was devoted to the establishment of a continental digital trading corridor to assist in the implementation of the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) agreement through terminal emulator interoperability systems across traditions of the AU Member States, a digital ecosystem of connected e-government and private apps, and a single online business repository and a social credit system for small and medium-sized businesses (SMEs) and startups, as the Hub was launched by the President of Niger and AfCFTA Champion, H.E. Mahamadou Issifou.

Following a spoken word, Cynthia Gnassingbe-Essonam, Senior Advisor at the AfCFTA, gave the opening comments at the Boma of Africa, and Wamkele Mene gave the keynote address. More information on the AfCFTA’s role in integrating the African market was provided by H.E. Wamkele Mene, who also noted that the AfCFTA’s launch had advanced since the previous Boma with the help of the Afreximbank.

The African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA)

  • Based on the number of participating nations, the AfCFTA is the largest free trade area in the world since the World Trade Organization was established.
  • Among its many goals is the creation of an internal market for products and services, which has the potential to raise intra-African trade by 52.3%.
  • It intends to bring together all 55 African Union member states, spanning a population of more than 1.3 billion people with a developing middle class and a total gross domestic product of $3.4 trillion.

In keeping with previous Boma tradition, part two of the gathering included several dignitaries, including Heads of State, continental businessmen, and world thinkers, who discussed important topics affecting Africa’s long-term plan for structural transformation.

The discussion topics covered creative solutions to Africa’s current financial and supply chain issues, youth and gender empowerment, and the potential for cross-border trade and new technology to be resilient in the face of pandemics and resurgent major power rivalries.

The event’s peak occurred during its third segment. With assistance from international partners like the World Health Organization (WHO), the United Kingdom, Australia, The Organization of Eastern Caribbean States (OECS), The United States of America, the European Union, the Government of India, Singapore, and the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), the Africa CDC launched a continental eHealth backbone that brought together African Union departments and agencies, as well as its African Vaccine Passport module.

As part of their promotional relationship, the African Union and AfroChampions were in charge of organizing The Boma of Africa. The AfCFTA Hub Network and the continent’s business community were also sponsors.
