Behind every number is a story of impact.

In 2025, our work focused on strengthening the systems that enable long-term progress—from supporting township entrepreneurs and preparing agri-businesses for international markets, to advancing climate resilience, green skills, and Africa-led innovation.

The results captured in this report are more than achievements. They reflect a broader effort to build institutions, partnerships, and opportunities that create lasting change and drive sustainable development.

Join us at the South Africa Climate Financing Strategy Validation Workshop, where stakeholders from government, the financial sector, development institutions, the private sector, academia, and civil society will come together to review and strengthen the draft national Climate Financing Strategy.

The workshop will help validate the Strategy's findings and recommendations, draw on global best practices, and shape a practical roadmap for mobilising, aligning, and scaling climate finance to support a more resilient and sustainable future.

Empowering youth means investing in the skills that matter today and tomorrow.

As we commemorate Youth Day, we highlight young South Africans who are gaining the skills needed to participate in and shape the country's growing green economy.

Through partnerships focused on renewable energy and energy efficiency, young people, particularly from rural communities, are developing practical skills in solar photovoltaic systems, energy auditing, and building performance assessment. These are skills that support South Africa's energy transition while opening pathways to employment, entrepreneurship, and economic inclusion.

As we honour the legacy of the youth of 1976, we are reminded that empowering young people remains one of the most powerful investments we can make in a more inclusive, sustainable, and prosperous future.

This Youth Month, we are spotlighting the young African creatives turning imagination into opportunity.

Through UNDP’s pan-African timbuktooafrica initiative, 20 emerging animators from across Africa are gaining the skills, mentorship and support needed to grow their talent into sustainable careers.

Because when young people have access to opportunities, they do not just tell Africa’s stories—they shape its future.
