All You Need To Know About The Global Citizen Festival.
The 2022 Global Citizen Festival campaign is supported by governments and world leaders across the world. Since its inception in 2012, the Global Citizen Festival has become the world’s longest-running global campaign, calling for an end to extreme poverty, gender inequality, and environmental degradation.
According to the founder of Global Citizen, Hugh Evans, SDRs (a type of reserve asset mostly sitting unused by the world’s wealthiest countries) can immediately provide new and affordable financing relief for countries at high risk of financial and debt distress.
Artists from all over the world converged in Ghana’s capital of Accra on Saturday at the 2022 edition of the Global Citizen Festival. The event which took place at the Black Star Square has been touted by many as one of the best-organized in a while.
