"Life has changed for us. Before the solar-powered garden, we walked long distances for water, often risking dangerous encounters with wildlife. Today, we have water close to home, food on the table, and an income we can depend on,” says Mawonei Makwara, a young mother from Makwara Village in Mbire. What began as access to water has become a pathway to safety, food security, economic empowerment, and stronger families. As women earn an income and contribute to household needs, financial pressures have eased, helping reduce conflicts at home and build more resilient communities.

🌍 "When Africa transforms, the world transforms." Speaking at the #AfricaImpactSummit2026, Dr. James Wakiaga (@wakiaga), Resident Representative of @UNDPZambia, highlighted Africa's immense potential—from its rapidly growing working-age population and innovation ecosystem to its critical role in the global green transition. 🚀🌱 The challenge now is to unlock investment, scale innovation, and build partnerships that deliver inclusive and sustainable transformation across the continent. 🤝 #ImpactInvesting #AfricaRising #Innovation #SDGs #FinancingTheFuture

📊🌍 “In many cases, we measure for reporting purposes instead of measuring for decision-making purposes.” A powerful takeaway from the #AfricaImpactSummit: impact data should not sit in reports—it should shape strategy, improve performance and drive better outcomes for people and planet. 🚀 #ImpactInvesting #SDGs @wakiaga @UNDPZambia
