Africa-Press – Zimbabwe. <\/strong><\/span>THE United Nations (UN) and its organs have raised more than US$1,2 billion to support government programmes to boost food security, improve health delivery system, education, water and sanitation.<\/p>\n

This achievement comes halfway through the 2022-26 Zimbabwe UN Sustainable Development Co-operation Framework, which started in 2022 with a goal of mobilising a total of US$2,8 billion by 2026.<\/p>\n

Among the notable achievements is the Cyclone Idai Recovery Programme, exemplifying global partnerships and receiving a US$72 million grant from the World Bank.<\/p>\n

Speaking ahead of the United Nations Sustainable Development Cooperation Framework mid-term review meeting in Harare tomorrow, UN Partnerships and Development Finance adviser Sirak Gebrehiwot, said the programme was changing lives.<\/p>\n

He cited the assistance in restoring and enhancing food security, shelter and strengthening essential social services including health, education, water, sanitation and hygiene.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe US$90 million Health Resilience Fund has significantly improved Zimbabwe’s healthcare system through key contributions from the European Union, the United Kingdom, Ireland, Gavi and the Vaccine Alliance,\u201d Gebrehiwot said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe US$34 million Spotlight Initiative, funded by the EU, has made remarkable strides in advancing gender equality.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis includes providing services for survivors of gender-based violence, supporting Zimbabwe’s High-Level Political Compact on Ending Gender-Based Violence and enhancing legislation to protect women and girls.\u201d<\/p>\n

He said a US$45 million joint programme with the government and private entities such as Old Mutual was supporting the shift towards sustainable green economies, aligning with SDGs 5, 7 and more.<\/p>\n

\u201cAdditionally, the Enhanced Resilience Programme, with funding of over US$100 million from the EU, and the governments of the UK and Sweden, is fortifying food systems, community resilience and water access for 1,1 million people in 23 district areas vulnerable to climate shocks,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Gebrehiwot reiterated the UN in Zimbabwe\u2019s commitment to inclusivity as demonstrated through its Partnership on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities.<\/p>\n

He said building resilience had also become a key focus, as Zimbabwe and the Sadc region faced challenges emanating from El Nin\u0303o-induced droughts and the impending La Nin\u0303a, along with growing climate shocks.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhile working with the UN and its partners to further Zimbabwe\u2019s progress on the SDGs through the Co-operation Framework, efforts have also been made to tackle natural disasters like El Nin\u0303o.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis includes creating and implementing a US$28 million anticipatory action plan and seeking US$430 million in a flash appeal for relief and early recovery assistance.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Co-operation Framework continues to be a vital platform for Humanitarian-Development-Peace Nexus through its pillars: People, Planet, Peace and Prosperity.\u201d<\/p>\n

He said on-going co-operation among stakeholders, including the government of Zimbabwe, the UN Development System, development partners, the private sector, civil society, women and youth groups, media and organisations of persons with disabilities, was critical for sustaining and scaling-up these successes.<\/p>\n

\u201cBy investing in these initiatives, stakeholders can foster sustainable transformation, bolster Zimbabwe\u2019s resilience against climate change impacts and ensure alignment with the country\u2019s development priorities.<\/p>\n

\u201cTo chart a sustainable and equitable future, there is a need to increase investments in resilience and development efforts in Zimbabwe. This should focus on pivotal transitions in food systems, renewable energy, digital connectivity, quality education, jobs and social protection and climate action,\u201d Gebrehiwot said.<\/p>\n
