Our Work on the Sustainable Development Goals in Zimbabwe
How the UN is supporting The Sustainable Development Goals in Zimbabwe
The United Nations in Zimbabwe is working with Government, civil society, the private sector, communities and development partners to accelerate the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and leave no one behind. Guided by the UN Cooperation Framework, the UN family in Zimbabwe is aligning its support to national priorities and Vision 2030, focusing on reducing poverty and inequalities, strengthening human capital, building resilience, and advancing peace, human rights and good governance.
Under the Cooperation Framework, the UN is:
Supporting inclusive and sustainable economic transformation, job creation and livelihoods, especially for women, youth and people in vulnerable situations.
Strengthening systems for quality health, education, social protection and food security to improve human development outcomes.
Promoting climate resilience, sustainable natural resource management and disaster risk reduction to protect people and ecosystems.
Advancing gender equality, protection, and the participation of all people in decision‑making.
Enhancing accountable, effective institutions and data systems to drive evidence‑based policy and SDG monitoring.
The Sustainable Development Goals in Zimbabwe
Zimbabwe is steadily advancing towards its vision of becoming an upper-middle-income society by 2030, guided by national strategies that are closely aligned with global and regional development agendas. The United Nations has walked this path alongside the country, supporting national priorities through coordinated, joined-up programmes that address food security, education, energy, jobs, digital connectivity and climate resilience. By localizing the SDGs across provinces and districts and strengthening national coordination and data systems, the partnership has turned ambition into tangible results for communities. Gains in health, food security and economic recovery signal that progress is real and momentum is building. With a continued focus on inclusion, innovation and leaving no one behind, the next phase of cooperation promises to deepen resilience, unlock opportunities for young people, and build a more prosperous and sustainable future for all Zimbabweans. The UN remains a committed partner in this journey — working together to translate stability into lasting transformation and hope into shared prosperity.
