At a time when the world finds itself on an unsustainable course, facing an increasing number of complex challenges for which traditional approaches are no longer sufficient, innovation stands as a key to addressing many of the issues confronting us today. During this session, experts in the field will discuss the importance of innovation as a vehicle for building a sustainable future. Where does innovation begin? What should be the role of government in promoting and facilitating innovation? Which countries are leading the charge, and how do you best position yourself and your organization to take advantage? This panel will provide a broad introduction to innovation, various approaches to cultivate it, and implications for those who pursue it and those who don’t.Video of Edna Adan at CGI
You are able to skip ahead – Edna is introduced at about the 37-minute mark:
Edna gives a real nice little speech about determination in difficult circumstances at about the 1:02 mark.
At 1:16 she begins discussing the causes of high rates of maternal mortality, leading into an assertion that the most important thing anybody can do to show support for women is to support greater educational opportunities.
At 1:24 Edna speaks about how Somaliland’s success is representative of what a people can do with limited resources if they have sufficient resolve to improve their circumstances.
congratulations to Edna Aden on her achievement.

The Former Foreign Minister of Somaliland Edna Adan is an inspiration to all of us. Now more people know about Somaliland because of her. Felicitations to Edna !!!
The best solution of the recognition of Somaliland is to make Edna
head of state. Edna is widely popular in Somaliland than any other
Somalillander. People admire her in and abroad. May God bless
this great human being.
