- About Me:
- Musa Ansumana Soko is my name, a young Sierra Leonean. I am an activist, social entrepreneur and a development consultant presently based in Sierra Leone but working in countries within Africa on various advocacy issues ranging from poverty reduction, conflict transformation, aid for development, ICT education for blind and visually impaired young people, HIV/AIDS, human right, environmental protection, and policy reforms/formulations for disadvantaged young people and women.
I am presently working for the Youth Partnership for Peace and development in Sierra Leone which is a youth-led development organization that is fostering development alternatives for youths in post-war Sierra Leone and the sustenance of peace. The Global Citizens for Sustainable development, which is just being established in Africa, I am currently appointed as the African Director.
I have therefore worked for and volunteered for several organizations in my country at both international and national levels. I also served as a Research Assistant with the Australian National University through Dr. Augustine Park in researching on the ‘Traditional and Modern forms of Reintegration of Former Child Soldiers’. I was an IT Instructor and teacher at the Educational Centre for the Blind and the Visually Impaired with the use of computers through a screen reading software called JAWS.
Furthermore, I have been and still working with different initiatives, coalition, networks and organizations from around the world in the bid to enhance networking and collaboration on issues of common interest in the youth development arena.
Today, I am the Global Youth Coalition on HIV/AIDS National Focal Point for Sierra Leone.
I am presently representing Africa into the Youth Advisory Board of the UNHABITAT that was established during the fourth session of the World Urban Youth and World Forums in Nanjing, China 2008.
Again, I am also serving as a youth focal point to the United Nations Millennium Campaign through the Africa United Nations Development Program office in Nairobi to coordinate the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) campaign in my country.
There I have succeeded in establishing a National Youth Taskforce on the MDGs. In Sierra Leone, I am currently serving as a Youth Commissioner to the Commission of the Civil Society Alternative Process, which is an umbrella body of CSO working in the areas of development.
Finally, I have been working with bodies like the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD XII) in Accra, Ghana, UNIDO International Conference on Renewable Energy for Africa, the African Union Commission through CIDO, where I have got several engagement among which was the development of the African Union Volunteer Corps Program for Youth in Nairobi. And the Rep to the Children and Youth Taskforce of the Global Call to Action Against Poverty (GCAP) Task Team in Sierra Leone, representing Africa..
