Welcome to the second edition of UNFPA Newsletter 2024. This publication covers UNFPA collaboration with implementing partners undertaken between October and December 2024. These include, but not limited to the few achievements highlighted below. In supporting girls vision for a bright future UNFPA partnered with the Deputy Prime Minister’s Office (DPMO) to advocate for continued support for girls.
UNFPA also collaborated with Ministry of Sports, Culture and Youth Affairs in taking the conversation on digital skills to improve youth employment to the rural places.
The aim of enabling young Emaswati reach their full potential was also supported by affording 4 young people an opportunity to attend the Youth Connekt Summit 2024 whose focus was on Jobs for Youth Through Innovative Skilling.
With Gender-based violence continuing to be rife in the country, UNFPA continued efforts to support government in addressing gender-based violence and other harmful practices through the 365 days action plan.
Collaboration with the Ministries of Sports, Culture and Youth Affairs, Health, as well as Education and Training in the Youth Programme included the benchmarking exercise on improving adolescent friendly health services and life skills education for out of school youth in the Republic of Zambia.
UNFPA further continued collaboration through the social protection cluster in supporting menstrual hygiene for women and girls displaced by the political unrest in Mozambique.
I would like to invite you to journey with UNFPA Eswatini by reading this publication which highlights achievements of the last quarter of 2024.
