What started as a shared vision in 2023 is now a reality. Today, alongside UNICEF Kenya, we commissioned the Griftu Water Supply Project—a climate-resilient system now delivering safe water to over 9,000 people in Wajir. Proof that purposeful collaboration transforms lives.

Our #GAFA initiative is taking shape in Jigjiga, Somali Region. Yesterday with The Children's Investment Fund Foundation, we deployed 20 solar-powered boreholes to bring climate-resilient water and build local capacity to keep it flowing. Grateful to the Somali Regional Govt, UNDP Ethiopia & communities.

Coastal communities in 30+ African countries face rising seas, storms & erosion, yet access to finance & data remains limited. Tomorrow at #ACS25, African Union & UN Development will bring partners together to explore scalable solutions & financing pathways for stronger resilience.
