UN Zimbabwe Annual Results Report -2023

The 2023 Annual Report provides an overview of the key results for the second year of implementation of the Zimbabwe United Nations Sustainable Development Cooperation Framework (ZUNSDCF 2022-2026) and the UN's contribution to Zimbabwe's development priorities as articulated in the coun­try's National Development Strategy (NDSl, 2021 -2025) now at its half way point. The Report presents the joint efforts of the United Nations in Zimbabwe in partnership with the Government, development part­ners, civil society, private sector, people with disabilities, youth and women's groups to address cross-sec­toral challenges through joint cooperation and leaving no one (and no place) behind. 

As we move into 2024, the key focus of the UN development System will include mainstreaming the six-transitions agreed at the 2023 UN SDG summit. These transitions include Jobs and Social Protection, Sustainable Food Systems, Transforming Education, Energy Access, Digitalization and Climate Change, Biodiversity and Pollution. The UN will also continue its support to Government in elimination of Gen­der-Based Violence and promotion Gender Equality and Women's Empowerment, strengthening public sector capacities, promotion of localization to accelerate SDG transitions, Universal Health Coverage and Epidemic Preparedness, boosting economic development and unlocking the data dividend for SDGs. Also in focus will be the strengthening of coordination between government, development partners and other stakeholders across the NDSl Thematic Areas, SDG implementation clusters and the sectoral aid coordination mechanisms.
