Dear All,
This year, together with my team, we will
focus on implementing Sustainable
Projects leading to creating Sustainable
Impact in communities across Ghana.
We plan to be visible and impactful and to
achieve this, we have to "just act".
I will lead Active Citizens across Ghana to
make positive impact in their
communities. It is a huge task but with
God and your individual support, we will
make it.
I urge all Jaycess in Ghana to reflect on the
challenge from the 2016 World President
Paschal Dike - 2016 is the time to think
less and feel more, talk less and act more.
Let us be persons who facilitate the growth
of enduring qualities in others for virtuous
living and sterling leadership. We have
each received much from society. Let us
not hold back our giftedness from others.
Let us all come on board to create
sustained growth and sustained impact in
Ghana and across the world.

JCI Ghana Launches Peace Is Possible Campaign
As national elections draw near, JCI Ghana identified a need for a more peaceful and tranquil
environment as citizens participate in electing their new President and Members of Parliament.
JCI Ghana officially launched ‘Peace is Project’ during the Northern Ghana Entertainment
Awards held at the Tamale Sports Stadium in Tamale, Ghana. During the awards JCI Ghana
National President John Stephen Agbenyo called for youth to embrace peace.
“Violent conflicts serve as a prompt reminder to the relevance and necessity of peace in the world
today,” said National President Agbenyo.
He reminded the crowd that youth should not allow themselves to be used as agents to perpetuate
violence in society. Members from all JCI Local Organizations across the country united to
participate in the Independence Day parade held at the Jubilee Park in Tamale, Ghana.
During the Independence Day parade, JCI members took part in the March Pass. At this event,
JCI Ghana was declared runner up in the category of Non-Governmental Organizations and was
presented with a plaque acknowledging the organization’s initiative to foster peace and
tranquillity.
The Northern Regional Minister praised JCI Ghana’s dedication to ensuring peace, describing
2016, 1st Quarter
the initiative as an
impeccable show of
active citizenship that
should be emulated by
all citizens as a measure
of sustaining peaceful
coexistence.

JCI Ghana Held Impact Talk on Sustainable Development Goals
The two parties conferred on matters of business interest available both in
Ghana and South Africa and how JCI Ghana and its members could
leverage on such opportunities.
The median edition of JCI Ghana Impact Talk was
launched in Tamale during the first General Assembly
Meeting in March 5, 2016.
Lawyer and Journalism Lecturer, Ogochukwu Nweke, one
of the guest speakers encourages young people to strive to
be themselves and add to the balance of the world through
the provision of solutions that would help Africa to
progress towards achieving the recently launched
Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). “The world as a
whole lacks balance, we as Africans have not added our
quota of the balance and the time to do it is now,” he said.
Speaking on the impact talk theme: Transforming Our
World: The Role of JCI Ghana in Achieving the SDGs,
Immediate Past National President of JCI Ghana Mr. Albert
Ankrah urged JCI Ghana to collaborate within and with
likeminded organizations to pursue the global goals with all
seriousness and action. “It is time for JCI Ghana to act in
line with admonitions of JCI World President Paschal Dike
who calls on members to JUST ACT,” he indicated.
