A CALL FOR DRASTIC PARTNERSHIP

2020-07-08T14:10:58+01:00

We have the opportunity to imagine, propose, and realize new illustrations for how society functions. We will figure it out together. As we do, here are some things we’re keeping in mind (and reminding others)—we’d love to hear yours, too: We urgently need transformative collaborations. The answers for how we get through this will not come from any one place. We need radical collaboration that transcends traditional models of partnership.   We need to work with community groups to develop new ways of understanding people’s needs—both the obvious (economic stability) and the less obvious (social isolation). We need to listen to [...]

Press Conference: Baywood Foundation partners AU, WANEP and others on youth affirmative action

2019-08-21T10:31:53+01:00

Baywood Foundation partners AU, WANEP and others on youth affirmative action In a press briefing held in Lagos August 13, 2019, the president and founder Baywood Foundation said Baywood Foundation commends President Buhari who signed the “Not Too Young To Run” bill in 2018 to reduce the age limits across political offices, including the Presidency. This is a step in the right direction but is however not enough because it does not address the systemic constraints  militating against youth participation in governance .  To support the “Not Too Young To Run” bill, Baywood Foundation is again reiterating the adoption [...]
