Good morning ladies and gentlemen,

I speak on behalf of the Ghana CSOs platform on the SDGs, specifically sub-platform 10 (SDG 10) which is dedicated to fighting all forms of inequality. The week of 18^th -25^th January 2020 is recognized annually by development practitioners across the globe as the Global Week of Action on Inequality (#FightInequality). The Fight Inequality Alliance is a network of civil society activists that is building a global movement to counter the excessive concentration of power and wealth in the hands of a small elite. We seek to achieve a just, equal and sustainable world.  The week long campaign is coming on the back of the World Economic Forum currently ongoing in Davos.
