UN 77th Anniversary
The walk served as the official start to celebrations for the United Nations’ 77th anniversary. “Building on the 3Ss- Solidarity, Sustainability, and Science- Toward a more Resilient Ghana” was the conference’s overarching topic.
Participants were chosen from the staff of the Ghana Armed Forces, the Police Service, the Immigration Service, and the Prisons Service, as well as the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Regional Integration.
The State House’s front lawn served as the starting point for the stroll through some of Accra’s main streets and back to the State House.
The health walk, according to Ms. Charles-Monwuba, served to mark the beginning of the United Nations’ 77th anniversary of its founding, to educate Ghanaians about the UN’s presence there, and to highlight the cooperation between Ghana and the world body.
