To address the threats to tigers and their habitats in the Tiger Ranger Countries (TRCs) as well as to strengthen the sustainable livelihoods of forest-dependent communities that co-exist with tigers, the programme leverages a blended financing approach. Several nature-positive investment opportunities exist across the two target landscapes – Taman Negara in Malaysia and Western Forest Complex in Thailand - presented in this document. To invest in these nature-positive opportunities, the programme will establish a Tiger Ecosystems Fund, build the capacity of local enterprises and support the development of a robust pipeline. At the same time activities, such as improving protected area governance, ranger patrolling, removing snares and building the capacity of the local communities on sustainable livelihoods, although critically important both for conservation outcomes and creating an enabling environment for nature-positive investments, do not yield financial returns and require financial support. The programme will directly support these activities. Cartier for Nature’s contribution will go toward directly supporting conservation activities and creating an enabling environment. The programme particularly focuses on landscapes and areas of outstanding biodiversity values. In Thailand, the target landscape has one World Heritage Site, which plays a crucial role in strengthening and improving ecological processes with and biodiversity of adjacent sites and the wider landscape. In Malaysia, the target landscape (Taman Negara) has well-documented outstanding biodiversity, which is among the highest in the world. In addition, Cartier for Nature will play a pivotal role in establishing a Tiger Ecosystems Fund and building a pipeline of nature-positive investable projects. UNDP believes unlocking institutional investments is fundamental to achieving global biodiversity and climate goals. The Fund and the process followed will provide a blueprint for such instruments and approaches that could be replicated in the region and beyond.UNDP Multi Partner Trust FundPlanned start date of the activityDate prévue de début de l'activitéUnited Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO)Core Data Portal Focal Pointcore@unesco.orgSECTOR FOR CULTURE123600.0061800.00145230.0010700.00XM-DAC-41304-218UZB1000United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO)Organisation des Nations unies pour l'éducation, la science et la culture (UNESCO)The project (implemented in partnership with UNICEF) aims to address the educational challenges in Uzbekistan through a comprehensive and multifaceted approach, with a focus on leveraging ICT and digital learning.

As a result of the crises of insecurity, children of school age in some parts of Nigeria, particularly the Northern region have limited and in some cases no access to school. More worrisome, is the plight of learners with special needs, as infrastructure/equipment to aid their learnings are not available. The increasing emergencies that interrupt school systems and ultimately learning requires systemic preparedness that will ensure that learning continues without leaving anyone behind. It is in this regards that the implementation of the right to education, including creating lifelong learning opportunities will be pursued within the 43 C5 programmes and activities. To achieve this, UNESCO will strengthen partnerships and networks to promote cross-sectoral collaboration that will stimulate technical dialogues, policies and practices that assures the learning needs of marginalized groups.

This goes hand in hand with greater gender equity in scientific activity; diversity enriches research agendas, making public investment more efficient and fair. On the other hand, for the population to become more involved in scientific activity, it is necessary to generate absorption and understanding capacities in the population with a better education in science. It is also necessary to build two-way bridges that allow the dialogue between society and scientific activity, which is why we support science communication in order to contribute to the consolidation of a scientific culture that is the basis for sustainable development.Contributions to the Regular ProgrammePlanned start date of the activityDate prévue de début de l'activitéUnited Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO)Core Data Portal Focal Pointcore@unesco.orgNATURAL SCIENCES SECTOR833.6312000.00347.5812000.00347.58833.63XM-DAC-41304-2210511022United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO)Organisation des Nations unies pour l'éducation, la science et la culture (UNESCO)Organisation of the 48th and 49th sessions of the World Heritage Committee, of the 26th session of the General Assembly of States Parties to the World Heritage ConventionBahrainPlanned start date of the activityDate prévue de début de l'activitéUnited Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO)Core Data Portal Focal Pointcore@unesco.orgSECTOR FOR CULTURE42654.6575681.6122.5826092.4542654.6526092.456079.7975681.6122.58XM-DAC-41304-2210511053United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO)Organisation des Nations unies pour l'éducation, la science et la culture (UNESCO)Capacity-building, technical assistance and guidance to States Parties preparing Tentative Lists, Preliminary Assessments and Nominations.

It will support capacity building, the increase of African experts, and involve youth. The Secretariat will primarily support 11 countries with no properties on the WH List, assist 14 sites on the List of the WH in danger, mentoring experts and support conservation to achieve targets of the SDGs and Aspiration 5 of the Agenda 2063. Support will focus on the participation of the States Parties, the African World Heritage Fund, universities, experts, civil society, youth and other partners in celebrating the 50th anniversary of the 1972 Convention. The World Heritage Committee, through Decision 46 COM 10B, requested the World Heritage Centre and its partners to continue monitoring the implementation of the Third Cycle Regional Action Plan (2021–2027) and to prepare a final assessment report on its overall implementation for submission to the Committee in 2028. Furthermore, through Decision 47 COM 10, the Committee launched the Fourth Cycle of Periodic Reporting in Africa and underscored the importance of building upon the achievements, lessons learned and recommendations emerging from the Third Cycle. In this context, the budget allocated to the follow-up of the Third Cycle Regional Action Plan during the 2026–2027 biennium remains fully relevant and necessary. The proposed activities will not only support the completion of the Third Cycle by monitoring the implementation of the Regional Action Plan and documenting its results, but will also directly contribute to the successful implementation of the Fourth Cycle of Periodic Reporting in Africa. As one of the first regions to implement the renewed Periodic Reporting approach, sub-Saharan Africa, comprising 47 States Parties and 112 World Heritage properties at the launch of the Fourth Cycle, will play a leading role in operationalising the reforms adopted by the Committee. The follow-up activities will provide an opportunity to assess the extent to which States Parties have integrated and implemented the priorities of the Third Cycle Regional Action Plan at national and site levels, while simultaneously identifying remaining capacity-building needs, institutional gaps and emerging priorities to be addressed through the Fourth Cycle. The activities financed under this budget line therefore serve a dual purpose: (i) completing the monitoring and evaluation of the Third Cycle Regional Action Plan and informing the final assessment report to be submitted in 2028; and (ii) supporting the implementation of the Fourth Cycle by ensuring continuity of regional cooperation, strengthening national capacities, and providing an evidence-based foundation for the development and implementation of future regional priorities and action plans.FrancePlanned start date of the activityDate prévue de début de l'activitéUnited Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO)Core Data Portal Focal Pointcore@unesco.orgSECTOR FOR CULTURE14131.1224061.0714131.122792.2024061.07XM-DAC-41304-2210513013United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO)Organisation des Nations unies pour l'éducation, la science et la culture (UNESCO)Conférence internationale sur la sauvegarde des systèmes oasiens au Maghreb, ainsi qu'un atelier de renforcement des capacités sur la mise en oeuvre de la Convention de 1972 en Mauritanie et en particulier la révision de la Liste indicative.Contributions to the Regular ProgrammePlanned start date of the activityDate prévue de début de l'activitéUnited Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO)Core Data Portal Focal Pointcore@unesco.orgSECTOR FOR CULTURE3141.6935345.5422775.5235345.542128.953141.6922775.52XM-DAC-41304-2210513023United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO)Organisation des Nations unies pour l'éducation, la science et la culture (UNESCO)At the extended 44th session of the World Heritage Committee (Fuzhou/Online, 2021), the report of the Third Cycle of Periodic Reporting in the Arab States and the regional Action Plan (2021-2027) were adopted by the Committee.

Haiti doit faire face aux menaces croissantes qui pèsent sur le patrimoine culturel et naturel, notamment les impacts du changement climatique qui résultent en catastrophes naturelle sles pressions de l'urbanisation incontrôlée, ainsi que les attaques délibérées contre le patrimoine culturel et les conflits internes politique et sécuritaire. Pour mettre en œuvre efficacement la Convention de 1972 en s’aligner aux objectifs du Programme de développement durable à l’horizon 2030 reflétant le rôle transversal de la culture pour le développement durable, il est nécessaire tout d’abord de renforcer les mécanismes de protection, les capacités des cadres des organismes responsables de la protection du patrimoine, en particulier l’ISPAN-Institut de Sauvegarde du Patrimoine National, ainsi que d'adopter des pratiques de gestion durable conformes aux normes internationales. En ce sens la mise en œuvre du Plan de Gestion du PNH-CSSR-Parc National Historique Citadelle-Sans Soucis-Ramiers, seul site inscrit sur la Liste du Patrimoine mondial, est primordial pour assurer sa protection et sa préservation. Ce programme contribuera à la mise en oeuvre du plan de gestion à travers des actions comme: • Renforcement des capacités nationales par la formation du personnel central et local à la gestion du patrimoine mondial, en établissant des partenariats avec des experts internationaux. Le programme comprendrait des études approfondies, des évaluations de vulnérabilité, menaces et des risques, des ateliers de formation, des échanges d'expériences, une sensibilisation communautaire ; • Améliorer la structure de gouvernance du Parc ; • Mettre en place un plan de conservation et de consolidation pour la Citadelle et Sans Souci ; • Recenser la population du Parc cet mettre en place des campagnes de sensibilisation sur les risques. • Renforcer la présence des acteurs et l’accueil sur le site, incluant la collecte de données, et l’ouverture d’un kiosque d’accueil. • Organiser des formations pour renforcer les capacités des cadres de l’ISPAN ainsi que la formation des guides touristiques du Nord. En deuxième lieu, une actualisation de la liste indicative par l'identification de nouveaux sites potentiels éligibles au statut de patrimoine mondial, accompagnée d'une évaluation approfondie de leurs valeurs culturelles et naturelles et nécessaire. A ce sujet, Haiti a fait la demande d’inscription du site du Parc National Historique des Matheux (PNH-MATH) dans la liste indicative du patrimoine mondial. Ce site est d’une énorme importance historique, archéologique, patrimoniale et touristique. Tous les vestiges historiques existant dans l'aire du PNH-MATH sont inscrits au patrimoine national et tombent sous l'autorité de L'Institut de Sauvegarde du Patrimoine National (ISPAN), chargé d'en assurer l'inventaire et la préservation. Ces vestiges sont des témoins puissants d'une période-clé de l'histoire d'Haïti, de la Caraïbe et du monde. En effet, les vestiges de caféières des Matheux, construites à partir de 1770 et détruites en 1798 parlent de la Révolution du café à Saint-Domingue qui, dans le dernier quart du XVIIIe siècle, fit exploser les chiffres de la Traite négrière et vit amener chaque année dans cette colonie entre 30,000 et 48,000 captifs africains. Les caféières des Matheux constituent aujourd'hui un réseau unique de vestiges liés à l'esclavage et à la culture du café. Une culture qui amena aussi d'Afrique un peuple issu principalement de l'ancien royaume du Congo, avec ses traditions, sa culture, sa religion et son mode de fonctionnement particuliers, qui joua un rôle déterminant dans la lutte pour l'indépendance d'Haïti. Ce projet vise à accompagner les autorités haïtiennes dans le processus d’une inscription définitive sur la liste du patrimoine mondial. Le projet vise à renforcer aussi les liens avec Cuba où les colons français ont pris refuge lors des luttes pour l’indépendance d’Haiti. Ils ont amené leurs connaissances, savoir-faire et force des esclaves dans l’orient de Cuba ou s’est développé une florissante industrie du café. Une coopération entre Cuba et Haiti, avec le soutien des bureaux de l’UNESCO a Port au Prince et à la Havane a commencé en 2023.

Additionally, these sites lack visibility among children and youth, necessitating a social media-driven awareness campaign to promote these heritage sites to the younger generation.Contributions to the Regular ProgrammePlanned start date of the activityDate prévue de début de l'activitéUnited Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO)Core Data Portal Focal Pointcore@unesco.orgSECTOR FOR CULTURE7818.247818.24XM-DAC-41304-2210521031United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO)Organisation des Nations unies pour l'éducation, la science et la culture (UNESCO)The work plan takes into account the activities to be undertaken by UNESCO in strengthening, safeguarding and preparedness measures for the Odesa Archaeological Museum.

It responds to the increased global recognition of culture as a “global public good” and a cornerstone of sustainable development, reinforced by MONDIACULT 2025, which has positioned culture as an indispensable pillar for inclusive, just, and peaceful societies. This renewed political momentum has further consolidated international consensus on the need to integrate culture more systematically into development frameworks and to advance discussions on its recognition as an independent goal in the post-2030 development agenda. At the same time, Member States continue to face structural challenges in translating global policy commitments into operational frameworks, including effective cultural policies, sustainable financing mechanisms, and robust monitoring systems. These constraints are compounded by competing national priorities and uneven institutional capacities. In addition, the absence of comprehensive, harmonized, and comparable cultural data—particularly on culture’s contribution to the SDGs—remains a major barrier to evidence-based policymaking and investment in culture. Against this backdrop, Output 4.1.CLT focuses on bridging the gap between global advocacy and national implementation by strengthening Member States’ capacities to design, implement, and monitor culture-based public policies aligned with sustainable development priorities.IndiaNordic Culture FundSouth AfricaSpainPlanned start date of the activityDate prévue de début de l'activitéUnited Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO)Core Data Portal Focal Pointcore@unesco.orgSECTOR FOR CULTURE124186.58XM-DAC-41304-3210561092United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO)Organisation des Nations unies pour l'éducation, la science et la culture (UNESCO)OP 4.1 CLT Reporting MonitoringUnited Arab EmiratesPlanned start date of the activityDate prévue de début de l'activitéUnited Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO)Core Data Portal Focal Pointcore@unesco.orgSECTOR FOR CULTURE34614.42XM-DAC-41304-3210561101United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO)Organisation des Nations unies pour l'éducation, la science et la culture (UNESCO)USSA OP6 Follow-up Mondiacult conferenceContributions to the Regular ProgrammePlanned start date of the activityDate prévue de début de l'activitéUnited Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO)Core Data Portal Focal Pointcore@unesco.orgSECTOR FOR CULTURE26194.9242630.1126194.921839.6842630.11XM-DAC-41304-3210561121United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO)Organisation des Nations unies pour l'éducation, la science et la culture (UNESCO)OP6 USSA Funds PA ContractsContributions to the Regular ProgrammePlanned start date of the activityDate prévue de début de l'activitéUnited Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO)Core Data Portal Focal Pointcore@unesco.orgSECTOR FOR CULTURE253814.89294866.94294866.94253814.89XM-DAC-41304-3210561142United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO)Organisation des Nations unies pour l'éducation, la science et la culture (UNESCO)The UNESCO Culture|2030 Indicators is a framework of thematic indicators whose purpose is to measure and monitor the progress of culture's enabling contribution to the national and local implementation of the Goals and Targets of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.Contributions to the Regular ProgrammePlanned start date of the activityDate prévue de début de l'activitéUnited Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO)Core Data Portal Focal Pointcore@unesco.orgSECTOR FOR CULTURE9080.2835152.4176292.419080.2835152.41XM-DAC-41304-3210564042United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO)Organisation des Nations unies pour l'éducation, la science et la culture (UNESCO)The present element is composed of left-over funding from the previous biennium resource mobilization towards pilot interventions aimed at demonstrating interface between culture and SDGs.International Information and Networking Centre for Intangible Cultural Heritage in the Asia-Pacific RegionICHCAPPlanned start date of the activityDate prévue de début de l'activitéUnited Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO)Core Data Portal Focal Pointcore@unesco.orgSECTOR FOR CULTURE5807.5035334.225807.5035334.222625.32XM-DAC-41304-3210566022United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO)Organisation des Nations unies pour l'éducation, la science et la culture (UNESCO)This program contributes to strengthening capacities to promote and monitor the contribution of culture to the implementation of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development in Member States under the Santiago Regional Office at the local and national level.

The Government had declared a State of Constitutional Exception due to Disasters in Biobio, Ñuble and Araucanía regions. In 2026, Wildfires have affected 38,350 hectares from the central and southern areas of Chile affecting biosphere reserves and protected natural areas, urban and rural communities, and critical infrastructure. To this date, 7 schools are closed due to fire and water damage and over 3700 houses burnt to the ground, impacting around 21,000 people. UNESCO will provide support to the education response of the Ministry of Education of Chile and local authorities, focusing on psychosocial support and socioemotional learning; and by building resilience and foster local communities’ response to wildfires through the participatory development of a set of guidelines tailored to each affected Biosphere Reserve that could guide a community based preventive fire response and initial planning for restauration of affected territories.Contributions to the Regular ProgrammePlanned start date of the activityDate prévue de début de l'activitéUnited Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO)Core Data Portal Focal Pointcore@unesco.orgEDUCATION SECTOR48150.003338.51XM-DAC-41304-406GLO0020United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO)Organisation des Nations unies pour l'éducation, la science et la culture (UNESCO)An integral part of the General Conference since 1999, the UNESCO Youth Forum is an ongoing process designed, implemented and followed-upon by youth.

The training was not only an opportunity to have students, teachers´, principals´ and local producers´ empowered to come back to their education communities, but also to provide inputs for developing guidelines and videos (education communication) to help build emergency education plans for each of the represented TVET agroforestry schools. Building on that effort, this incoming funding will create a unique possibility to accompany each of the schools to design collaboratively their plan, including training sessions in their education communities and surrounding populations, which mostly live in poverty and vulnerable conditions, including people in mobility situations (returnees), youth alone (migrating families) and indigenous populations.Contributions to the Regular ProgrammePlanned start date of the activityDate prévue de début de l'activitéUnited Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO)Core Data Portal Focal Pointcore@unesco.orgEDUCATION SECTOR10700.0010498.41XM-DAC-41304-406IVC4000United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO)Organisation des Nations unies pour l'éducation, la science et la culture (UNESCO)Le projet d’appui à la réhabilitation du Musée des Civilisations de Côte d’Ivoire est ancré dans le Contexte majeur du retour imminent du Djidji Ayokwè, tambour parleur du peuple Atchan, restitué par la France.

Contexte et Justification Les Jeux Olympiques de la Jeunesse (JOJ), compétition multisport pour les 15-18 ans, ont été créés par le Comité International Olympique en 2007. Après Singapour (2010), Nankin (2014) et Buenos Aires (2018), Dakar accueillera en 2026 la 4ᵉ édition d’été, marquant la première fois de cet événement en Afrique. La jeunesse africaine, représentant plus de 60 % des 420 millions de jeunes dans le monde, sera au cœur de cette dynamique sportive, sociale et éducative. En Afrique, les violences basées sur le genre (VBG) demeurent un défi majeur : près d’une femme sur trois a subi des violences physiques ou sexuelles, et plus de 230 millions de femmes et filles sont concernées par les mutilations génitales féminines (UNICEF, 2024). Le mariage précoce touche 41 % des filles en Afrique de l’Ouest et du Centre, avec des conséquences graves sur l’éducation, la santé et l’égalité des sexes. À l’occasion des JOJ Dakar 2026, l’UNESCO et le Réseau de la Renaissance Africaine et de la Diaspora (ARDN) lanceront la campagne « Carton Rouge » pour sensibiliser les jeunes aux VBG et promouvoir l’égalité de genre. Cette initiative mobilisera athlètes, anciens médaillés, figures politiques et influenceurs, à travers vidéos, panels, masterclasses et partenariats avec les écoles et organisations. Elle soutiendra également le programme « Fit for Life » et le plan d’action de Kazan, réaffirmant l’engagement de l’UNESCO à promouvoir la diversité, l’inclusion, l’égalité et l’autonomisation économique par le sport. I. Objectif de la campagne carton rouge La campagne Carton Rouge lors des Jeux Olympiques de la Jeunesse vise à contribuer à l’élimination de toutes les formes de discrimination et de violences basées sur le genre, ainsi qu’à lutter contre les pratiques néfastes envers les femmes et les filles. Elle encourage leur leadership afin d’accélérer l’égalité des sexes, en vue de l’atteinte des Objectifs de Développement Durable 2030 et de l’Agenda 2063 de l’Union Africaine, « l’Afrique que nous voulons ». Activités spécifiques : Développer une campagne de communication promotionnelle percutante contre les violences basées sur le genre pour lutter contre les inégalités et les pratiques néfaste en Mobiliser des acteurs sportifs, les médias, des influenceurs et des personnalités politiques autours d’évènement dans le village olympique tout au long de l’événement ; Promouvoir l’éducation aux valeurs olympiques et les métiers du sport ; Renforcer l’inclusion et l’égalité des genres dans les pratiques sportives à travers des compétitions de jeunes femmes ; Sensibiliser sur les mécanismes de prévention des violences basées sur le genre et des discriminations ; Encourager l’implication des jeunes garçons aux initiatives de préventions des violences basées sur genres pour transformer les mentalités à travers la masculinité positive ; Promouvoir l’autonomisation, l’entrepreneuriat et les métiers connexes au sport auprès des jeunes femmes; Engager les jeunes sportifs à signer une pétition pour la Tolérance Zéro face aux violences basées sur le genre et les pratiques néfastes II. Description et Format de l’initiative campagne carton rouge La Campagne Carton Rouge sera articulée autour de : Mise en place d’un stand au sein du village olympique pour accueillir des panels, des conférences, des expositions et des Masterclass sur des thématiques clés telles que la place des femmes dans le sport, les violences basées sur le genre, l’inclusion des personnes vivant avec un handicap, et l’égalité des sexes pour un développement inclusive et durable.

It will achieve this by enhancing the effectiveness and inclusivity of existing dialogue mechanisms for the private sector, and, by establishing and making more inclusive dialogue and dispute resolution mechanisms for the public sector. Policy and decision-making dialogue and recovery initiatives at the national level will be informed by evidence, generated on the economic and social priorities of the most marginalized communities, including those in the informal economy, women, and young people with intersectional vulnerabilities. The existing networks at the community level, will also be capacitated to contribute to and participate in decision-making and dialogue mechanisms at local and national levels. The scars of the country's decades-long civil war are still felt, particularly in communities grappling with unresolved grievances. As Sri Lanka recovers from its worst socio-economic crisis in history underscored by rising poverty, increasing inequalities and socio-economic disparities, limited fiscal space, and potential austerity measures, the existing post-conflict legacy issues and underlying structural inequalities are intensified. The frequent strikes in the public sector, stemming in part from the absence of institutional dialogue and effective dispute resolution systems, starkly illustrate how these deficiencies severely disrupt the delivery of critical services. This will be further exacerbated by the upcoming National elections. Further, the ongoing structural reforms agreed with the IMF , may further escalate unrest as a result of layoffs arising from SOE reforms, tax and social security reforms as well as the introduction of property taxes. Robust efforts to address socio-economic disparities, political marginalization, and the unequal distribution of resources are pertinent to prevent escalation of tensions and strengthen social cohesion. In the absence of mechanisms for formal and informal sector workers, which will undoubtedly result in further heightened societal tensions. This will pose risks towards disrupting public sector service delivery and negatively impacting the already fragile economy recovery.United States of AmericaUN - Peacebuilding fundPlanned start date of the activityDate prévue de début de l'activitéUnited Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO)Core Data Portal Focal Pointcore@unesco.orgSECTOR OF SOCIAL AND HUMAN SCIENCES10013.15170148.62169838.23170148.6210013.1543092.78XM-DAC-41304-257GLO1043United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO)Organisation des Nations unies pour l'éducation, la science et la culture (UNESCO)In the context of the 2020-2021 UNAIDS UBRAF, UNESCO has received funding to implement activities in 35 countries.

The problem will be addressed through a multi-stakeholder approach that prioritises the meaningful participation and role of Organisations of Persons with Disabilities (OPDs) through strengthening effectiveness of national monitoring mechanisms (Outcome 2). In addition, building evidence to strengthen the national education system to improve access for children with disabilities in support service and assistive devices and technology needs, with key service delivery duty bearers, the Ministry of Education and special schools and disability service providing organisations, and rights holders (OPDs) (Outcome 2), enhancing outcomes for all persons with disabilities through CRPD compliant national laws and policies, with specific focus on the Employment Relations Act 2007 (Outcome 2), CRPD compliant budgeting (Outcome 1 and Outcome 3), and meaningful participation of OPDs in national humanitarian and disaster management plans (Outcome 3) and the UNCT CCA Framework (Country Implementation Plan) process for Fiji. The programme will use a multi-stakeholder, multi-sectoral approach in two ways: 1) working through stakeholder coordination mechanisms established during the Inception Phase, namely the OPD sub-working group and Technical Reference Group and broadening this to include other relevant stakeholders across government and OPDs and 2) working through existing multi-sector Advisory Committees of the NCPD. The Joint Programme provides key resources to advance these critical gaps identified during the Situational Analysis and help achieve systemic reforms and enhanced capacity and capability of OPDs to accelerate CRPD implementation and inclusive SDGs in Fiji.United Nations Partnership on the Rights of Persons with DisabilitiesPlanned start date of the activityDate prévue de début de l'activitéUnited Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO)Core Data Portal Focal Pointcore@unesco.orgEDUCATION SECTOR68052.00XM-DAC-41304-261PER1001United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO)Organisation des Nations unies pour l'éducation, la science et la culture (UNESCO)This programme addresses the knowledge and capacity gaps of education and employment providers to implement two urgent prerequisites of the CRPD: equality and non-discrimination, and provision of inclusive services, which consequently limits persons with disabilities to exercise their rights to inclusive education and job opportunities, as well as to actively participate in society (SDG 10). This programme seeks to reinforce disability inclusion within public institutions by enhancing the capacity of key actors, as well as strengthen institutional partnerships (SDG 17) to provide technical-productive education and employment services from an inclusive perspective.

Within this outcome, the programme will strengthen capacity across civil society and government actors to coordinate, advocate, develop, implement, monitor and evaluate policies and legislation on gender equality and GBV and develop gender-responsive budgets. There shall be comprehensive assessment of legislative landscape in relation to GEWE and EVAWG across sectors (including statutory and customary laws, institutions and stakeholders). Integrating the African Charter on the Rights and Welfare of the Child (ACRWC) into a comprehensive assessment of the legislative landscape concerning Gender Equality and Women's Empowerment (GEWE) and Ending Violence Against Women and Girls (EVAWG) in Zambia is crucial for a holistic approach. The assessment will analyse how domestic laws align with the specific articles of the ACRWC, particularly those related to protection from violence, abuse, and exploitation, and highlight discrepancies or gaps. The outcome also will promote knowledge, understanding and commitment on National Gender Policy among GRZ Permanent Secretaries and Directors in addition to establishing or strengthening inclusive engagement platforms with women’s rights organisations to inform GRZ policy processes; The outputs have been locally adapted and will relate to the global menu “National and regional partners have strengthened evidence-based knowledge and capacities to assess gaps and draft new and/or strengthen existing legislations on ending VAWG and/or gender equality and non-discrimination that respond to the rights of the most groups facing multiple and intersecting forms of discrimination and are in line with international HR standards and treaty bodies’ recommendations”. There will also be building the capacity of key stakeholders (government, women’s rights organisations, traditional and faith leaders) to design, implement and monitor gender equitable policies; Support the implementation and monitoring of GEWE and EVAWG laws and policies at national and sub-national levels (e.g., school re-entry policy guidelines for the girls who fall pregnant and have to leave).UN - Spotlight Initiative FundPlanned start date of the activityDate prévue de début de l'activitéUnited Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO)Core Data Portal Focal Pointcore@unesco.orgEDUCATION SECTOR0.005350.00XM-DAC-41304-268ZAM1001United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO)Organisation des Nations unies pour l'éducation, la science et la culture (UNESCO)Outcome B: Harmful gender norms, attitudes, and behaviours are transformed at individual and community levels to prevent VAWG and advance GEWE. Under this outcome, there will be multiple social norms change strategies (e.g., community mobilisation; positive masculinities work; and whole of school approaches) are implemented at different socio-ecological levels; political party stakeholders are sensitised about negative exploitative and abusive attitudes and behaviours towards women political party candidates; Then (3) harmful social norms, attitudes and behaviours will be transformed at individual and community levels and the prevalence of violence will be reduced; Because (4) whole-of-society, evidence-based prevention initiatives can shift norms for the long term. Efforts to promote social change will build on the positive aspects, approaches and norms of the Zambian culture and traditions. Some of these include (1) the "extended family" model, which promotes social cohesiveness and respect for the elderly; (2) positive elements of the matrilineal systems within some communities that value women’s contributions and promotes them in leadership roles; (3) synchronous teachings on marriage for both men and women; and (4) the land registration system in chiefdoms. The outputs have been locally adapted and relates to outputs from the global menu focusing on community advocacy platforms are established/strengthened to develop strategies and programmes, including community dialogues, public information and advocacy campaigns, to promote gender-equitable norms, attitudes and behaviors, including in relation to women and girls’ sexuality and reproduction, self confidence and self-esteem and transforming harmful masculinities. The proposed programme strategy will harness these practices as opportunities to develop nuanced and culturally appropriate approaches to addressing GBV within communities. There are also traditional spaces that can be leveraged for promoting community dialogues around shifting harmful norms and gender action learning activities such as traditional ceremonies which have a huge following in Zambia. Programmes and activities will include building capacity of teacher educators, in service teachers, and school leadership around gender transformation of complex social norms that limit participation and retention of girls and boys in schools. There will also be strengthening existing student clubs such as gender desks/clubs and civic education as avenues; for gathering students’ input into addressing negative social norms and shaping behaviours. The outcome will also work on engagement with media networks and associations to build capacity of journalists and reporters on issues related to GEWE and GBV and the constructive and non-discriminatory narratives and discourse to be associated with these themes. These organizations and individuals will contribute significantly to the media landscape in Zambia, each playing a role in informing the public, advocating for GEWE and elimination of GBV, and ensuring the diversity of viewpoints in the media. Media enterprises are well positioned to play an advisory role in the content development and implementation plans for mass media campaigns, edutainment and related Programme interventions and activities aimed at shifting social norms including attitudes and practices that advance GEWE and help to eliminate GBV. Further the project will conduct adolescent girls’ activities at community level to build their agency & self-confidence to seek services such as FP, GBV, SRH and HIV including awareness and linkage campaigns for migrant and mobile populations to seek GBV services. These campaigns will use multiple formats such as braille, large print, sign language (where necessary) to ensure information is accessible to individuals with visual, hearing, and cognitive impairments. Information will be provided in simple, clear language with the usage of pictograms or visual aids.UN - Spotlight Initiative FundPlanned start date of the activityDate prévue de début de l'activitéUnited Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO)Core Data Portal Focal Pointcore@unesco.orgEDUCATION SECTOR39195.5466668.66126450.00100009.6139195.5441798.90XM-DAC-41304-268ZAM1002United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO)Organisation des Nations unies pour l'éducation, la science et la culture (UNESCO)Outcome C: Women and girls who experience violence and harmful practices benefit from available, accessible, acceptable, and quality essential services. The outcome will focus on ensuring that multi-sectoral service providers have the capacity to deliver inclusive, survivor-centred, high quality and coordinated services (including justice and accountability). This is with the assumption that services are supported by guidelines, protocols and policies developed through consultation with women’s rights organisations. And lastly, these services are made available and accessible to all survivors, women and girls and we expect women and girls who have experienced violence or are at risk will benefit from available, accessible, acceptable and quality essential services because we know barriers to services have been addressed and systems have been adapted to better meet the needs of women and girls. This outcome will focus on strengthening gender equality and GBV coordination platforms at national and sub-national levels. The coordination will be at no cost to the programme. Government leads on this Institutionalize coordination structures, referral mechanisms and case management services through SOPs and guidelines. This, in addition to training, will mitigate the risks posed by the frequent GRZ staff rotations, which lead to fragmented approaches to advancing GEWE and eliminating GBV as well as a lack of continuity and jeopardized institutional memory. This coordination the programme will just follow up and ensure meetings are taking place and minutes are kept in good order. Othe interventions will include analysing existing knowledge gaps, existing curriculums, adapt/design learning curriculums and roll out training on survivor-centred referrals and coordination processes to Government Service Providers (Police Officers, Customs Officers, Disaster Management Officers, Judicial officers, Judiciary, Social Welfare Officers, Community Development Officers, Health Practitioners, Prosecutors, Paralegals, Legal Aid Counsels, Immigration Officers and Extension Officers, Teachers and School Administrators) at OSCs, FTCs, and Police Stations. This, in addition to training, will mitigate the risks posed by the frequent GRZ staff rotations, which lead to fragmented approaches to advancing GEWE and eliminating GBV as well as a lack of continuity and jeopardized institutional memory. Further, the outcome will provide training for teachers, school counsellors, and education administrators on how to identify signs of school related GBV/GBV among students and how to make referrals to appropriate services. In line with the whole-of-school approach adopted by the programme, learners and teachers will be expected to establish a safe and confidential reporting mechanism to report incidents of Technology Facilitated GBV and train school staff on how to respond to TF GBV reports in a sensitive and supportive manner. Sensitization of learners about responsible online behaviour and how to protect their own privacy and themselves from online abuse will also be part of the programme. This will also include an orientation on peer-support and on the bystander intervention concept to support each other.UN - Spotlight Initiative FundPlanned start date of the activityDate prévue de début de l'activitéUnited Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO)Core Data Portal Focal Pointcore@unesco.orgEDUCATION SECTOR4552.6521745.1922000.0022322.1619145.614552.65XM-DAC-41304-268ZAM1003United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO)Organisation des Nations unies pour l'éducation, la science et la culture (UNESCO)The Gender Transformative Joint Programme for the Promotion of Gender Equality and Women’s Empowerment: Toward the Elimination of Gender-based Violence in Zambia is a key part of the broader Spotlight Initiative Sub-regional project in Southern Africa. It represents a collaborative effort among the UN system, national governments, and civil society to address the root causes of gender-based violence (GBV) in Zambia and the surrounding region. The program builds on existing efforts, emphasizing coordinated, evidence-based approaches to tackle drivers of GBV that are often rooted in shared cultural and socio-economic factors across Southern Africa. Launched in 2017, the Spotlight Initiative is the world’s largest targeted effort to end violence against women and girls. It applies a comprehensive, integrated model to combat various forms of GBV—such as domestic violence, sexual and gender-based violence, female genital mutilation (FGM), trafficking, and femicide. Its strategy includes reforming legislation, strengthening institutions, promoting gender equality, and ensuring access to essential services for survivors. It aligns with the broader goal of achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly those related to gender equality and justice. The Spotlight Initiative’s model centers around four interconnected pillars: Laws, policies, and data Prevention and social norms change Response and services for survivors Support for civil society and women’s movements In Zambia, the Joint Programme follows a “whole of society” and “whole of government” approach, shaped by inclusive consultations with stakeholders. This model brings together government agencies, civil society, academia, the private sector, and various UN organizations to develop a unified, effective response to GBV. It acknowledges Zambia’s specific needs while integrating lessons from past initiatives funded by the EU, USAID, and Ireland. Progress has already been made through reforms such as the introduction of Fast Track Courts for GBV and the 2024 revision of the discriminatory Law of Marriage Act. The Joint Programme aims to build on this momentum by fostering a more coherent and sustained national response. Key UN agencies involved in the program include UNFPA, UNESCO, IOM, and UNDP, supported by the broader UN Gender Thematic Working Group. Their combined expertise and access to global resources—particularly from the Spotlight Initiative’s secretariat—enhance the program’s implementation capacity. It also draws on proven global tools such as the UN Essential Services Package for Women and Girls Subject to Violence and the UN RESPECT Framework for the Prevention of Violence Against Women, which provide best practices for a coordinated, multi-sectoral response. Each of the four Spotlight pillars plays a crucial role in the program’s design. Reforming legal frameworks and strengthening institutions helps build accountability, while prevention efforts aim to shift harmful social norms that perpetuate gender inequality. Improving services ensures survivors receive the medical, psychological, and legal support they need. At the same time, empowering women’s organizations and civil society enhances community-level engagement and advocacy, ensuring that responses are locally relevant and inclusive. A particularly important element of the program is its focus on women’s economic empowerment as a preventive measure. By improving women's access to education, employment, and financial resources, the program addresses the socio-economic inequalities that contribute to vulnerability and violence. This intersection of economic justice and gender equality is central to achieving long-term, sustainable change. Ultimately, the Joint Programme represents a comprehensive, multi-layered approach to eliminating GBV in Zambia. It is grounded in strong political will and supported by a diverse array of partners. By addressing the legal, cultural, structural, and institutional factors that drive GBV, the program aims to create lasting change. Its integrated, collaborative approach positions Zambia to contribute meaningfully to regional and global efforts to end violence against women and girls and to advance gender equality more broadly.UN - Spotlight Initiative FundPlanned start date of the activityDate prévue de début de l'activitéUnited Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO)Core Data Portal Focal Pointcore@unesco.orgEDUCATION SECTOR19208.0019208.0023241.681264.44XM-DAC-41304-273PER2000United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO)Organisation des Nations unies pour l'éducation, la science et la culture (UNESCO)ABD-Peru aims to accelerate the achievement of national goals 1, 25, and 28 outlined in the NBS by operationalizing actions that drive the in-situ conservation and sustainable use of globally important agrobiodiversity.

Les pluies torrentielles et vents violents ont causé d’importants dégâts matériels, la destruction d’infrastructures scolaires notamment les hydrauliques et la transformation de nombreuses écoles en abris temporaires pour des familles déplacées. De surcroît Haïti fait face à des inondations récurrentes causées par les pluies saisonnières, les cyclones tropicaux et la dégradation environnementale. Ces événements ont des impacts significatifs sur les infrastructures hydrauliques, notamment les puits d’eau utilisés par les communautés scolaires, rurales et périurbaines. Les inondations antérieures et celles causées par l’ouragan provoquent souvent la contamination microbiologique et chimique des eaux souterraines, en raison du ruissellement des eaux usées, des matières fécales, des déchets solides et des hydrocarbures. Cela accroît les risques de maladies hydriques (choléra, diarrhée aiguë, typhoïde, etc.), particulièrement dans les zones vulnérables où l’accès à des services d’eau et d’assainissement sécurisés est limité. Il est donc essentiel de mener une évaluation systématique de l’état des puits après les inondations afin de déterminer leur niveau de contamination, d’identifier les priorités d’intervention et de proposer des actions correctives telles que : désinfection, décontamination, réhabilitation, ou fermeture temporaire. Objectifs du projet 2. Objectif général Évaluer la qualité et la sécurité des puits d’eau affectés par les inondations en Haïti, en vue de réduire les risques sanitaires liés à la consommation d’eau contaminée et de renforcer larésilience des communautés face aux catastrophes hydrométéorologiques. 3. Objectifs spécifiques Identifier et cartographier les puits à proximité ou au niveau des infrastructures scolaires affectés dans les zones inondées. Réaliser des prélèvements d’eau pour des analyses physico-chimiques et microbiologiques. Déterminer le niveau de contamination des puits et les classer selon leur niveau de risque sanitaire. Formuler des recommandations techniques pour la désinfection, la réhabilitation ou la fermeture des puits contaminés. Sensibiliser les communautés locales sur les bonnes pratiques d’hygiène et de gestion de l’eau après inondation.Contributions to the Regular ProgrammePlanned start date of the activityDate prévue de début de l'activitéUnited Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO)Core Data Portal Focal Pointcore@unesco.orgPRIORITY AFRICA & EXT.

Infrastructures disruptions reverberate across the education sector by limiting access to physical learning environments for children and students, straining cultural institutions that support educational programming (such as museums and archives), and diverting national capacities away from educational development toward emergency response. It also threatens cultural heritage, traditional practices and cultural institutions of global value In this context, the UNESCO Office to the Gulf States and Yemen proposes a set of rapid initiatives aimed at strengthening regional cooperation, supporting national authorities, and mobilizing available technical expertise across UNESCO’s Sectors. Recognizing that crises disproportionately affect women and girls, the specific needs and priorities of women and girls will be systematically addressed throughout these programmes. These priority actions include enhanced coordination among Ministries of Education on online teaching tools and good practices, the assessment of risks to water and desalination systems as well as related mitigation measures, capacity building for museums and cultural institutions on risks preparedness, rapid social impact assessments, the implementation of psychosocial support measures for youth, social workers, psychologists and education personnel (with focus on women), as well as training sessions on the safety and freedom of scientists in emergency contexts.Contributions to the Regular ProgrammePlanned start date of the activityDate prévue de début de l'activitéUnited Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO)Core Data Portal Focal Pointcore@unesco.orgPRIORITY AFRICA & EXT.

Deliberate steps to deepen the quality and build strong foundations for education for health and well-being at primary school level will be taken. Foundational Education for Health and Well Being (FEHW) supports learners to develop transferable skills that are vital for foundational learning, such as decision-making, social and emotional skills, communication skills, critical thinking and problem-solving skills, among others. Good quality Life Skills based sexuality education curricula is underpinned by the following principles: age- and developmentally appropriate, scientifically accurate, holistic, human rights-based, inclusive, transformative and relevant to the context and culture (UNESCO et al., 2018; UNICEF, 2019). Sexuality education is most effective when delivered as part of a whole-school approach to health and well-being. This means that the curriculum is positioned within an ecosystem that includes supportive school management, safe and healthy school environments, engagement with parents and communities, linkages with child- and adolescent-responsive health and social services and well-trained and supported teachers. Good quality health education is delivered through learner-centred pedagogical approaches, accompanied by appropriate teaching and learning materials and is inclusive of learners in all of their diversity. To strengthen the quality of teacher training and bring the training closer to school level, Phase 2 will introduce a model for training primary school teachers using Colleges of Education as a central point. Selected Colleges of Education - Domasi and Chiradzulu in the Southern Region, Lilongwe in the Central Region and Rumphi and Mzuzu University in the North, will be focus points of training of teachers in 4 education divisions. These centres will be used as hubs for bringing together all elements of the O3 programme; in-service teacher training; pre-service teacher training; teacher continuous professional development; monitoring and support supervision; community engagement and linkages with adolescent friendly health services. The O3 project will continue to support government’s commitment to strengthen child protection and end school-related gender-based violence to ensure care and support for teaching and learning through provision of curriculum-based, age-appropriate SRHR information and comprehensive sexuality education to female and male learners and expose them to role models to enable them to stay in school. As part of building the quality of CSE that primary school learners receive, the O3 project will work with the Ministry of Education to ensure that learners who are over-age in the lower classes are provided with information and skills to make healthy choices. Seeing that learners who are over-age are mainly in foundational classes, the programme will ensure that these learners have access to basic sexuality education along with standard-age learners. This will be achieved through the enhancement of the primary school teacher training.NorwayPlanned start date of the activityDate prévue de début de l'activitéUnited Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO)Core Data Portal Focal Pointcore@unesco.orgEDUCATION SECTOR476.93451856.191288188.491071864.32263210.78476.93451856.19XM-DAC-41304-504MOR5000United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO)Organisation des Nations unies pour l'éducation, la science et la culture (UNESCO)The main outcome of the current project is to strengthen media institutions in Morocco including women and men journalists, media workers and youth to be more resilient in the face of online disinformation as well as digital threats and harassments especially in the context of the emergent of artificial intelligence as to be able to contribute positively towards a healthy democratic society.

The proof of concept will be demonstrated in a number of UNESCO sites, particularly Biosphere Reserves (BR). Since their inception, BR have been promoted as ‘living laboratories’ or ‘learning sites’ that can help scientists, managers, and local communities better understand how to achieve conservation of biodiversity and sustainable development, and are particularly appropriate for promoting integrated monitoring, multidisciplinary approaches, and participatory activities, as well as to develop field learning on sustainability. These “living laboratories” act as sites to test out a variety of solutions, whilst exploring indicators, human perceptions, adaptive capabilities, ecosystem balance and how to replicate and expand to areas outside the BR. Most regional and global policies are promoting sustainable development of communities from the grassroots going upwards. This project seeks to demonstrate that BRs can act as excellent incubators for the use of Citizen Science as a tool for more effective governance. The long‐term Impact the project seeks to achieve is that Citizen science will be used as a pivotal tool for landscape governance in the SADC region, fostering environmental sustainability, community engagement, policy influence, research collaboration, and sustainable development. The rationale for the interventions is that there is a gap and interest in improved local governance in southern Africa, including participation and data for evidence‐based management; and an interest in decolonising research by engaging communities, hence an opportunity to introduce CS as a tool addressing these challenges, but a lack of awareness and experience with CS and proof of concept, which this project seeks to address. To build a sufficient case, within a reasonable timeframe and manageable scope, it has been decided to focus on 3 UNESCO sites who have expressed interest, have strong management capacity, have worked on CS, and have previously collaborated on UNESCO projects with good results. Two of the sites are also part of the SADC TFCA network, since it is a specific target for future replication. Two of the sites are also part of strong RBOs, also a target. In addition, other sites that overlap with the TFCA network will be introduced to the methodologies, in view of generating interest and awareness. The Outcome of the project is therefore Strengthened landscape‐wide governance frameworks and management in minimum 3 UNESCO‐designated sites, through enhanced capacity and participation of stakeholders in citizen science projects. In order to achieve this outcome, a three‐pronged approach will be followed: Component 1 ‐ Enhance capacity and participation in Citizen Science in Biosphere Reserves For 3 focus sites, initially awareness will be raised among the communities and existing and potential new research partners for each site regarding the potential of CS, using resource partners to provide examples and methods used. This includes the WRC‐Citizen Science Association of Southern Africa; and the Vrije Universiteit Brussels’ Citizen Science coordination unit has also been approached to support this output . Their tools will be adapted for southern African context. This output will be followed by facilitation of consultations to develop and agree research plans for each interested research institution with the site, including specific identification of the CS components; and corresponding protocols. It is expected that some of the research institutions will agree to develop comprehensive workplans; while for others the scope will initially be between a department and the site. Subsequently, training for CS teams will be supported. The focus sites are Site 1: Kruger to Canyons Biosphere Reserve (SA) Site 2: Kogelberg Biosphere Reserve (SA) Site 3: Okavango Delta World Heritage Site (Botswana) Component 2 ‐ Strengthen landscape management in Biosphere Reserves The second component of the project will make the link between discrete CS actions and governance of each of the focus sites. Evidence‐based management requires a monitoring system with relevant indicators. Firstly, the current scope and status of monitoring in the landscape will be assessed, and a gaps/needs analysis conducted, to lead to an agreed indicator framework. In addition to the agreed CS actions with scientific institutions, the project will support additional monitoring capacity in function of the agreed framework. This will include building on existing resources that UNESCO has developed in the Be Resilient programme, such as the Citizen Science Smartphone Data Collection Tool and Data Visualisation Platform. Component 3 ‐ Strengthen landscape Governance Frameworks and Policies in Southern Africa The third set of outputs seeks to advocate for wider awareness of the achievements in the first 2 components and replication. Key stakeholders are national and regional MAB and IHP Committees, and SADC TFCA partners (the SADC secretariat and the implementing partners, particularly GIZ and IUCN). These will be briefed and engaged during the inception phase. The collaboration with SADC in TFCAs and with RBOs is already integrated in the Joint Plan of Action; and partners have expressed interest in the CS approach.BelgiumPlanned start date of the activityDate prévue de début de l'activitéUnited Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO)Core Data Portal Focal Pointcore@unesco.orgNATURAL SCIENCES SECTOR32284.05202624.81130000.0015091.1432284.0537055.81XM-DAC-41304-513RAF2045United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO)Organisation des Nations unies pour l'éducation, la science et la culture (UNESCO)UNESCO-designated sites—such as Global Geoparks (UGGps), World Heritage Sites, and Biosphere Reserves—are vital for conserving cultural, scientific, and natural heritage. UGGps, the newest designation, integrate geoheritage conservation, education, and sustainable development, proving that environmental protection and economic growth can align. Despite increasing interest, Africa hosts only two of the world’s 229 Geoparks, with none in Southern Africa. Yet Africa’s rich geological landscapes and cultural diversity offer strong potential. Challenges like limited awareness, infrastructure, and funding remain, prompting Member States to seek UNESCO’s support—especially following the 221st Executive Board session. In 2022, a FUST-funded initiative and regional workshop in Kenya helped spark growing interest in countries like Senegal, Namibia, and South Africa. The new initiative aims to build on this by supporting candidate countries—such as Botswana, Kenya, Namibia, Tanzania, and South Africa—in preparing Geopark applications, engaging communities, and strengthening institutions. Key goals include: - Increased understanding of the Geopark model - Draft nominations for at least two sites - Community engagement and capacity building - Enhanced conservation and sustainable tourism UNESCO will mobilize international expertise and foster collaboration through an African Geopark network. This supports FUST’s goals of inclusive development, intercultural dialogue, and science capacity-building. UNESCO’s role will mainly include (1) Technical assistance for nomination files and (2) Support for geoheritage inventories.

Through the mid-20th century, the venue was a vibrant epicenter of Arab and international performance arts, welcoming legendary performers such as Oum Kalthoum, Mohamed Abdel Wahab, and the Comédie Française. It played a pivotal role in shaping Lebanon's cultural renaissance. Tragically, since the outbreak of the Lebanese Civil War in 1975 and its official closure in 1990, the theatre has stood in silence. Officially closed in 1990, the theatre still stands behind a façade partially restored by Solidere in 1994, while its interior remains in poor condition. When protesters briefly reclaimed the building during the October 2019 revolution, their impromptu performances underlined both the public’s attachment to this landmark and the hunger of Lebanese youth for a civic stage. Following the 2020 Beirut-Port explosion, the city was exposed to a deeper deficit - a lack of inclusive cultural infrastructure. Today, existing performance halls are few, often privately run, and inaccessible to large segments of society. In the heart of downtown Beirut, the Grand Théâtre, historically a gathering place for cultural events, political demonstrations and everyday urban life. now sits unused at a moment when Lebanon faces social fragmentation and economic difficulties. Its restoration is therefore not merely a conservation project, but it is a social and economic imperative. UNESCO, in cooperation with the Ministry of Culture and Solidere (the theatre’s owner), proposes to rehabilitate the venue and establish a legal and governance framework that combines public oversight with private-sector expertise, with a view reopen the Grand Théâtre. Preliminary talks with the Minister of Culture are already under way. Before physical restoration can begin, a comprehensive series of studies must be conducted to assess its current state, legal standing, cultural value, and future viability—laying the foundation for a safe, sustainable, and meaningful rehabilitation - that will constitute the phase 1 of this project.United Arab EmiratesPlanned start date of the activityDate prévue de début de l'activitéUnited Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO)Core Data Portal Focal Pointcore@unesco.orgSECTOR FOR CULTURE917431.1982568.814360.00XM-DAC-41304-567AFG4001United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO)Organisation des Nations unies pour l'éducation, la science et la culture (UNESCO)Afghanistan and in particular, the southern region have faced years of disasters related to natural and human-induced hazards and have been neglected for a long time with no clear responsible entity.

While the youth cohort in Ghana is expected to grow, employment and entrepreneurial opportunities for young people, particularly those living in the country’s economically stagnant rural areas, remain limited, poorly remunerated, and of poor quality. In rural Ghana, young people encounter challenges in accessing and participating in viable economic activities due to limited education, access to finance, infrastructural support, social services, and other productive resources, as well as restrictive cultural and social norms. These challenges significantly impact the lives of the rural youth, affecting their employment opportunities and overall economic advancement. Further expatiating on these barriers, which include: · Limited Educational and Skill Development Opportunities: Rural communities often lack adequate educational infrastructure and resources, leading to lower skilling and literacy rates and educational attainment. This results in the shortage of skills needed to sustain MSMEs in rural areas, thereby limiting the youth's ability to access higher-paying jobs or engage in entrepreneurial activities, as well as impacting the overall productivity of these enterprises, thereby stunting the economic growth of rural communities. · Rise of Adolescent Motherhood: A critical issue in these communities is the high incidence of teenage pregnancy, which not only disrupts young women's education but also places them into a cycle of poverty. The push into early motherhood and the stigma they experience as young single mothers means that the majority of these young women are kept out of dignified work and learning opportunities, making it difficult for them to provide for themselves and their children. · Access to Finance for Entrepreneurship and Innovation: Access to financial resources and services is limited in rural settings. The lack of capital restricts the ability of individuals and households to invest in education, support problem-solving innovations for their communities, start businesses, or even expand their existing businesses. These financial constraints are a significant barrier to personal advancement and economic development. · Infrastructure Deficits: Poor infrastructure, such as inadequate roads, and poor telecommunications connectivity, amongst others, further isolates rural communities, limiting their access to markets, information, and other essential services. Even though some effort has been made to address these by building and equip-ping local Community Information Centers, majority of the CICs are without the needed infrastructure and resources to effectively play the role of information and capacity building centers. · Digital Divide: A significant challenge is the digital divide between rural and urban areas. The digital space is fast evolving with new technologies daily further widening the gap. Limited access to the internet and digital tools in rural communities hinders the youth's ability to participate in the digital economy impacting their access to online information and educational resources, connection to their peers and community re-sources as well as their ability to engage with broader markets for their goods and services. · Cultural and Social Barriers: Cultural norms and social stigmas, particularly around gender roles, further compound the challenges faced by young women, particularly young mothers in rural communities. These barriers deprioritize the needs of these young mothers, often preventing women from pursuing education, participating in the workforce, or engaging in community decision-making processes. Rural areas account for the highest rates of teenage pregnancy compared to urban areas, according to research conducted by the National Institute of Health. The above-listed challenges are particularly grave for young women, most especially young rural mothers who often raise their children without sufficient family and financial support, lacking basic business skills to be economically active and independent and therefore unable to participate in society as responsible individuals. The Digital Access and Rural Empowerment (DARE) Program aims to harness digital technologies and the capabilities of Community Information Centers (CICs) to transform rural livelihoods, particularly for young mothers. The program proposes revitalising CICs to serve as digital and technological hubs, facilitating access to information, markets, and essential digital services. These efforts underpin broader development initiatives by serving as platforms for other interventions, including targeted training programs, especially specialized training for young mothers, and also for enhancing market access for rural youths. The DARE program focuses on three key intervention areas: · Enhanced Connectivity and Market Access · Fostering Rural Youth-Led Business Innovation · Rural Young Mother Economic Empowerment These interventions are interlinked, each designed to address specific challenges while collectively working towards the overarching goal of the improved well-being of rural youth through digital inclusion. This systemic approach ensures that the benefits realized in one area of intervention amplify the impact in others, creating a holistic model of development that caters to the unique needs of rural young women, especially young mothers, and the broader ecosystem of Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) they operate within.

DESCRIPTION SOMMAIRE DU PROGRAMME D’une durée de 4 ans , le programme pour la transformation de l’éducation de base en République de Côte d’Ivoire financé par le Partenariat Mondial pour l’Education (GPE) et mis en œuvre par l’UNESCO (Agent Partenaire du fonds pour la transformation du système) est en cohérence avec les Objectifs de Développement Durable (en particulier les ODD 4 et 5), le Plan Sectoriel Education/Formation (PSE/F 2016-2025) de la Côte d’Ivoire, les Etats Généraux de l’Education Nationale et de l’Alphabétisation (EGENA), et la Réforme Prioritaire portant sur « l’amélioration des apprentissages fondamentaux à l’éducation de base » décrite dans le Pacte de Partenariat endossé par l’ensemble des partenaires de l’éducation. Ce Programme accompagne donc la réforme du secteur qui vise à transformer le fonctionnement de l’éducation de base, du pré primaire au premier cycle du secondaire, en modifiant profondément les modalités d’enseignement des élèves et en orientant l’éducation vers la maîtrise des apprentissages fondamentaux, et ultérieurement vers l’apprentissage tout au long de la vie. Par ailleurs, pour favoriser la réforme du secteur, le Pacte de partenariat intègre une réforme du système dont l’objectif est de créer les facteurs favorables à la mise en œuvre de cette réforme du secteur, en surmontant les obstacles en matière de gouvernance et de gestion institutionnelle du système éducatif qui entravent les progrès en matière d’apprentissages, et en proposant des interventions pour améliorer l’efficacité et l’équité des dépenses publiques en appuyant une série de changements institutionnels et politiques dans les domaines (i) des ressources humaines, (ii) des structures éducatives et (iii) des financements / transferts au secteur. Ces changements ont le potentiel de favoriser la mise en œuvre de la réforme du secteur et donc d’accélérer l’acquisition des compétences fondamentales et des apprentissages par les élèves. Le Programme répond au besoin urgent de soutenir le gouvernement dans la mise en œuvre de sa réforme prioritaire pour le secteur de l’éducation. Il est grandement favorable aux plus démunis à travers l’amélioration des conditions d’enseignement-apprentissage propices aux niveaux de l’école, de la classe et de la préparation des enfants, notamment des filles, à une scolarisation réussie. L’égalité de genre est au cœur du programme, de sa conception à sa mise en œuvre. L’objectif est d’assurer que chaque enfant, fille ou garçon, entre à l'école bien préparé pour l'apprentissage, tout en garantissant une éducation de haute qualité. Cette approche est cohérente avec les domaines d'intervention du GPE et les objectifs et les stratégies de l'UNESCO pour la région.

Across the region, these dynamics have intensified emerging challenges, including the rise of violent extremism, attacks on education, and entrenched gender inequalities. Chad exemplifies these compounded challenges. The country is affected by protracted insecurity linked to the Lake Chad Basin crisis, intercommunal violence, and climate-induced shocks such as droughts and floods. These overlapping crises have contributed to large-scale internal displacement, as well as a sustained influx of refugees from neighbouring countries, placing additional strain on already limited education infrastructure and resources. Across the region, and especially in Chad, these dynamics have intensified emerging challenges, including the rise of violent extremism, attacks on education, and entrenched gender inequalities. In Chad, girls remain disproportionately excluded from education due to early marriage, socio-cultural barriers, and insecurity, particularly in conflict-affected and rural areas. Schools are often under-resourced, overcrowded, or inaccessible for displaced populations, further limiting equitable access to safe and quality learning environments. Despite notable progress in recent years toward expanding access to inclusive and quality education, significant gaps remain. In Chad, disparities in access, retention, and learning outcomes are particularly pronounced among girls, refugees, internally displaced children, and children with disabilities. Addressing these inequalities is critical to ensuring the right to education without discrimination and to promoting equal opportunities for all learners. Guided by the 2026-2029 strategy on gender equality in and through education, UNESCO will engaged and support member states, especially Chad to realize their obligations and commitments to implement the right to quality inclusive education for all, and to strengthen education systems to be gender-transformative and promote gender equality. Strong collaboration will be established with other sectors, and systematic joint actions will be encouraged for improved political and financial commitment to ensure gender equality in education.Contributions to the Regular ProgrammePlanned start date of the activityDate prévue de début de l'activitéUnited Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO)Core Data Portal Focal Pointcore@unesco.orgEDUCATION SECTORXM-DAC-41304-A210173011United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO)Organisation des Nations unies pour l'éducation, la science et la culture (UNESCO)UNESCO Maghreb interventions will be guided by UNESCO’s Gender Equality Strategy and will promote gender-responsive and gender-transformative approaches across education systems.

Its significance aligns with several Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), including education for sustainable development (Target 4.7), safeguarding cultural heritage (Target 11.4), and ensuring public access to information (Target 16.10). UNESCO’s 2015 Recommendation concerning the preservation of, and access to, documentary heritage including in digital form underscores the need to protect, promote, and provide access to documentary heritage, particularly in digital form, emphasizing public awareness as key to its effective use in forging national, regional and international cooperation across a range of issues, including education, peace, etc. To this end, UNESCO, through a revamped Memory of the World (MoW) Programme, will encourage the identification of documentary heritage in the holdings of memory institutions to catalyse its accessibility and use via the Memory of the World International Register, particularly for underrepresented regions, Global Priorities and Priority Groups, such as Africa and SIDS.BrazilRepublic of KoreaPlanned start date of the activityDate prévue de début de l'activitéUnited Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO)Core Data Portal Focal Pointcore@unesco.orgSECTOR OF COMMUNICATION AND INFORMATIONXM-DAC-41304-A210625011United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO)Organisation des Nations unies pour l'éducation, la science et la culture (UNESCO)UNESCO/Montevideo runs the Secretariat of the Memory of the World Regional Committee for Latin America and the Caribbean (MOWLAC) which administers the regional register.

But today, there are only around 400 languages fully accessible online, representing just a fraction of the world's 7,000 spoken and signed languages. The world is losing its languages—and with them, entire ways of knowing, seeing, and participating in society. Many Indigenous and minority languages are under threat, stripping communities of access to education, justice, health information, and public life, and deepening social inequalities. The rapid digital transformation and the rise of artificial intelligence risk entrenching linguistic hierarchies, leaving marginalized populations voiceless in the technologies that shape their futures. Protecting and promoting linguistic diversity is therefore not a cultural luxury; it is necessary to safeguard the human right to choose and use one’s own language, and it is essential for inclusion, equity, and the preservation of knowledge and cultural heritage in the 21st century. Objective: Guided by its 2003 Recommendation concerning the Promotion and Use of Multilingualism and Universal Access to Cyberspace, UNESCO, as the only United Nations agency with a specific mandate on multilingualism and linguistic diversity, leads a coordinated and collaborative effort to safeguard and revitalize vulnerable languages, and the implementation of the International Decade of Indigenous Languages (2022–2032). Key Activities: Working with Member States, academia, the private sector and linguistic communities, UNESCO monitors implementation of the 2003 Recommendation on multilingualism as a normative framework across education, media, science and digital technologies, and—together with ICANN—advances multilingualism online through an MoU promoting Universal Acceptance so all scripts and languages function in domains, email and digital services. UNESCO also leads the World Atlas of Languages (WAL) to fill critical data gaps with an open platform that makes languages—especially Indigenous and low-resourced—visible and measurable for evidence-based policy and integration into public systems and digital environments. To strengthen multilingualism in the AI era, UNESCO convened two global conferences on language technologies and launched its Roadmap on Multilingualism in the Digital Era, guiding inclusive, rights-based approaches to language tech and AI. Finally, UNESCO leads the International Decade of Indigenous Languages (2022–2032) (CI as Secretariat), coordinating the Global Task Force and supporting Member States’ National Action Plans to empower communities to protect and digitally enable their languages through participatory, culturally sensitive, and ethical data practices. Key Results / Deliverables • Member States are informed, equipped, and empowered to effectively implement and mainstream the 2003 Recommendation concerning the Promotion and Use of Multilingualism and Universal Access to Cyberspace, supported by evidence-based tools, inclusive digital standards, and strategic guidance on language technologies. • Indigenous languages are recognized by Member States within their legal systems and legislation which in turn are supported with comprehensive language-related laws and policy frameworks: more National Action Plans were launched for the International Decade of Indigenous Languages as localized versions of the Global Action Plan of the Decade. • Strategic guidance and coordinated action through UNESCO’s Roadmap on Multilingualism in the Digital Era, supporting ethical, inclusive, and rights-based deployment of language technologies and AI. Universal access and meaningful inclusion for all language communities are advanced while safeguarding cultural integrity and community agency. Digital platform and AI developers are enabled to more reliably incorporate high quality linguistic data into their models and tools in a manner that is respectful of data sovereignty and informed consent, strengthening both the utility and cultural legitimacy of digital systems.Contributions to the Regular ProgrammePlanned start date of the activityDate prévue de début de l'activitéUnited Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO)Core Data Portal Focal Pointcore@unesco.orgSECTOR OF COMMUNICATION AND INFORMATION3664.66XM-DAC-41304-A230151011United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO)Organisation des Nations unies pour l'éducation, la science et la culture (UNESCO)Strengthened intersectoral coordination for timely, appropriate, and coordinated actions for crisis preparedness, emergency response, early recovery and reconstruction, to ensure effective support to countries affected by emergencies and conflict situations.Contributions to the Regular ProgrammePlanned start date of the activityDate prévue de début de l'activitéUnited Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO)Core Data Portal Focal Pointcore@unesco.orgPRIORITY AFRICA & EXT.

Despite important gains, significant gender-related barriers continue to affect equitable access to, participation in, and outcomes from education across the region. Addressing these challenges requires strengthened awareness, enhanced institutional capacities, and practical tools to support the systematic integration of gender considerations into education policies, programmes, and practices. Existing UNESCO resources on gender mainstreaming are largely available in English and often lack contextualization to the specific realities and priorities of West African countries. The project will address this gap through the finalization, validation, and dissemination of a regional gender mainstreaming toolkit tailored to the West African context. Developed in close collaboration with Ministries of Education and key stakeholders, the toolkit will provide practical guidance to support gender-responsive planning, implementation, monitoring, and evaluation within the education sector. The project will further promote its uptake and use among Ministries of Education and civil society organizations, thereby strengthening national capacities to advance gender equality in and through education across the region. Ultimately, the project will contribute to strengthening the capacity of education systems in West Africa to identify and address gender-related barriers, creating more inclusive, equitable, and safe learning environments for all learners, particularly girls and young women.Contributions to the Regular ProgrammePlanned start date of the activityDate prévue de début de l'activitéUnited Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO)Core Data Portal Focal Pointcore@unesco.orgEDUCATION SECTORXM-DAC-41304-A210194021United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO)Organisation des Nations unies pour l'éducation, la science et la culture (UNESCO)UNESCO will support Member States in strengthening health and well-being education, including comprehensive sexuality education (CSE), social and emotional learning, and school-based approaches that promote safe, inclusive and supportive learning environments.

This transformative potential extends to enhancing the quality and relevance of learning experiences, fostering inclusivity, and fortifying educational administration and governance. Despite decades of education policy focus in Caribbean SIDS on improving the quality and computerization of education data, as well as fostering evidence-based decision-making cultures, significant challenges persist. Many countries in the region find themselves with Educational Management Information Systems (EMIS) that lack intentional design, instead comprising a patchwork of loosely connected applications and platforms—some digitized, others manual—resulting from disparate projects or initiatives. Furthermore, the prevailing trend of siloed development within education systems has led to fragmented information systems, hindering cohesive data management and utilization efforts. (OREALC/UNESCO Santiago, 2021). Amidst the evolving landscape of the Caribbean, technological advancements mirror global progress, ushering in a realm of possibilities and obstacles for education in the area. The integration of technology holds the key to metamorphosing Caribbean classrooms into dynamic hubs of learning, characterized by interactivity, personalization, and engagement. By embracing tech-driven teaching methodologies, students can be empowered, their perspectives broadened, and their readiness for the digital age fortified. Nevertheless, surmounting challenges such as infrastructural limitations, fostering digital literacy, and providing continuous support for educators are indispensable for unlocking the full potential of technology in Caribbean education.

It serves as the bedrock upon which societies can thrive, fostering greater economic stability, social cohesion, and overall well-being. Education possesses immense transformative power, capable of shaping societies and individuals alike. However, despite its vast potential, the capacity of education to realize gender equality and fulfil its pledge to every child remains largely untapped globally, especially within the Caribbean region. Gender-transformative education transcends mere access to and participation in education for girls and women, and boys and men; it is a right-based and a comprehensive approach that empowers all stakeholders—students, teachers, communities, and policymakers—to critically analyse, challenge, and transform entrenched and discriminatory gender norms and power dynamics. By fostering a deep understanding of the harmful impacts of gender norms, including restrictive masculinities, it enables individuals to dismantle systems that perpetuate advantages for boys and men at the expense of girls and women while paying due attention to challenges that boys and men may face in education and which can leave some of them behind. By ensuring equitable participation in education, including of boys, governments in the region not only protect fundamental human rights but also promote social inclusion and empowerment, and then prevent those at risk of dropping out school and disengaging to get involved in violence in or outside school. Through comprehensive policies and programs, they should create inclusive learning environments that nurture the academic, social, and emotional development of every child, fostering a more equitable and prosperous society for generations to come. This workplan will prioritize the cultivation of gender equality through the implementation of gender-transformative education. Through a multifaceted approach that integrates innovative pedagogical strategies, stakeholder engagement initiatives, and policy advocacy efforts, the plan is to foster a more inclusive and equitable educational landscape where the learning needs of boys and girls are adequately met every, and where individual regardless of her/his gender has the opportunity to thrive and contribute to a more just and harmonious society.Contributions to the Regular ProgrammePlanned start date of the activityDate prévue de début de l'activitéUnited Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO)Core Data Portal Focal Pointcore@unesco.orgEDUCATION SECTORXM-DAC-41304-A210191051United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO)Organisation des Nations unies pour l'éducation, la science et la culture (UNESCO)Transforming Education for Health and Wellbeing (Regular Programme)Contributions to the Regular ProgrammePlanned start date of the activityDate prévue de début de l'activitéUnited Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO)Core Data Portal Focal Pointcore@unesco.orgEDUCATION SECTORXM-DAC-41304-A210212011United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO)Organisation des Nations unies pour l'éducation, la science et la culture (UNESCO)This workplan supports the expansion of equitable access to quality STEM education and science literacy programmes, particularly for girls, women, and marginalized learners.

Ces inégalités constituent non seulement une question de justice sociale mais également un frein majeur au développement économique et scientifique du continent. Afin de répondre à ces défis, le Bureau régional de l'UNESCO à Dakar développera une approche intégrée articulant mémoire, diversité culturelle et lutte contre les discriminations structurelles. Cette approche reposera sur deux initiatives complémentaires : la conférence sur la diplomatie mémorielle dans le cadre du suivi des Rencontres sur les Créolités Atlantiques ainsi que de la Conférence consultative de haut niveau sur les prochaines étapes à suivre à la suite de la résolution historique des Nations Unies sur la traite des Africains réduits en esclavage, organisée au Ghana, et un programme régional de renforcement des capacités des femmes parlementaires. Cette initiative contribuera à renforcer le leadership intellectuel et normatif de l'UNESCO dans les domaines de la mémoire, de l'égalité de genre et de la cohésion sociale. Objectif général Contribuer à la lutte contre les discriminations et les exclusions en favorisant la production de connaissances, le dialogue interculturel, la reconnaissance des héritages historiques et la promotion de politiques publiques inclusives. Objectifs spécifiques 1. Renforcer le dialogue international sur les mémoires de l'esclavage, les créolités et les identités plurielles. 2. Soutenir les débats internationaux sur les réparations et la reconnaissance historique. 3. Renforcer les capacités des décideurs publics à promouvoir des politiques de lutte contre les discriminations. 4. Soutenir l'émergence de cadres législatifs et budgétaires favorables à l'égalité de genre et à l'inclusion dans les secteurs de la science, de l'éducation et de l'innovation. COMPOSANTE 1 Conférence sur la diplomatie mémorielle Description Dans le cadre du suivi des Rencontres sur les Créolités Atlantiques ainsi que de la Conférence consultative de haut niveau sur les prochaines étapes à suivre à la suite de la résolution historique des Nations Unies sur la traite des Africains réduits en esclavage organisée au Ghana, la conférence sur la diplomatie mémorielle sera également l’occasion de réunir les membres du Réseau des lieux d’histoire et de mémoire liés à l’esclavage et à la traite au cours d’un atelier qui leur permettra de partager leurs expériences, d’examiner les défis communs auxquels sont confrontés les sites de mémoire et d’identifier des approches pratiques en matière de commémoration, de valorisation patrimoniale et d’engagement des communautés. L’atelier servira également de cadre de concertation pour harmoniser les priorités de plaidoyer du Réseau, permettant ainsi à ses membres de coordonner leurs positions sur les questions de politiques publiques, de reconnaissance patrimoniale et de préservation des lieux de mémoire liés à l’esclavage. Le principal résultat attendu de cette rencontre est l’élaboration d’une feuille de route pour le développement d’un plan stratégique propre à chacun des sites du Réseau. Cette feuille de route définira les actions prioritaires à mettre en œuvre, notamment en matière de renforcement des capacités, de plaidoyer, de programmation culturelle et éducative, ainsi que de mobilisation des publics. Elle fournira un cadre de référence adaptable aux réalités et besoins spécifiques de chaque site. La conférence permettra également d’approfondir la réflexion sur: • les créolités atlantiques ; • les héritages de l'esclavage ; • les identités plurielles ; • les mémoires partagées ; • la diplomatie mémorielle ; • les réparations ; • les circulations culturelles transatlantiques. L'UNESCO organisera notamment une session de haut niveau consacrée à la mémoire, et aux politiques de reconnaissance historique. Résultats attendus 1. Une vision partagée et des recommandations renforcées sur la diplomatie mémorielle, fondées sur les échanges relatifs aux créolités atlantiques, aux héritages de l’esclavage, aux mémoires partagées, aux réparations et aux politiques de reconnaissance historique. 2. Une meilleure coordination du Réseau des lieux d’histoire et de mémoire liés à l’esclavage et à la traite, à travers l’harmonisation de ses priorités de plaidoyer et le développement de positions communes sur les questions de politiques publiques, de reconnaissance patrimoniale et de préservation des sites de mémoire. 3. L’élaboration d’une feuille de route stratégique pour les sites membres du Réseau, définissant des actions prioritaires en matière de renforcement des capacités, de programmation culturelle et éducative, de mobilisation des communautés et de valorisation du patrimoine mémoriel, adaptées aux réalités de chaque site. COMPOSANTE 2 Programme régional Femmes Parlementaires, Science et Innovation Description Cette activité est mise en œuvre en articulation avec le Rapport continental sur le rôle des femmes dans la science et l'innovation développé dans le cadre de l'Output 5.3. Elle vise à lutter contre les discriminations structurelles qui limitent la participation des femmes aux secteurs de l'éducation, de la science, de la technologie et de l'innovation. Le programme permettra de renforcer les capacités des femmes parlementaires afin qu'elles puissent promouvoir des réformes législatives, budgétaires et institutionnelles favorables à l'égalité de genre. Résultats attendus 1. Création d'un réseau régional de femmes parlementaires. 2. Élaboration d’une stratégie globale pour la mobilisation des parlementaires femmes pour l’égalité de genre 3. Renforcement du leadership féminin dans les secteurs scientifiques. Activité 2 Contexte et justification L’Afrique investit de manière croissante dans les sciences, les technologies, l’ingénierie et les mathématiques (STEM), considérées comme des leviers essentiels de transformation économique, d’innovation et de création d’emplois pour la jeunesse. Les stratégies nationales de transformation numérique, le développement de l’intelligence artificielle et l’essor des compétences numériques occupent désormais une place centrale dans les politiques publiques du continent. Toutefois, les apprenants en situation de handicap demeurent largement absents de ces dynamiques. Les obstacles liés à l’accessibilité des infrastructures, des ressources pédagogiques, des plateformes numériques et des environnements d’apprentissage limitent encore fortement leur participation aux filières scientifiques et technologiques. À défaut d’une action ciblée, la révolution numérique risque ainsi de créer une nouvelle fracture éducative et sociale, excluant une partie de la jeunesse africaine des opportunités offertes par l’économie de la connaissance. Cette initiative s’inscrit dans le prolongement des travaux menés par l’UNESCO sur le rôle des femmes dans la science et l’innovation en Afrique. Après avoir mis en évidence les inégalités de genre dans l’accès aux carrières scientifiques, il apparaît nécessaire d’élargir la réflexion aux autres dimensions de l’inclusion afin de promouvoir une vision plus complète et plus équitable des STEM sur le continent. Elle contribue ainsi à la mise en œuvre de la Stratégie de l’UNESCO pour l’inclusion du handicap en favorisant l’intégration systématique des questions d’accessibilité et d’inclusion dans les politiques STEM et de transformation numérique. Elle adoptera une approche intersectionnelle, prenant en compte les multiples formes de discrimination et d’exclusion susceptibles d’affecter les apprenants en situation de handicap, notamment en fonction du genre, de l’âge, de la situation géographique ou du statut socio-économique. Elle veillera également à la participation significative des personnes en situation de handicap et de leurs organisations représentatives tout au long du processus d’élaboration de la feuille de route. En complément, l’UNESCO Dakar organisera une consultation régionale sur le Plan d’action de la Stratégie de l’UNESCO pour l’inclusion du handicap; coordonné par HQ, afin de recueillir les perspectives des parties prenantes régionales sur les priorités de mise en œuvre, les défis et les opportunités. Les résultats de cette consultation contribueront à renforcer l’appropriation régionale de la Stratégie et à éclairer les actions futures en faveur d’une éducation et d’une transformation numérique plus inclusives. Objectif Élaborer la première feuille de route africaine sur l’inclusion des apprenants en situation de handicap dans les STEM à l’ère de la transformation numérique, afin d’orienter les politiques publiques, les stratégies éducatives et les investissements futurs dans ce domaine. Activités principales Consultation continentale en ligne L’UNESCO organisera une consultation réunissant des représentants des ministères de l’Éducation, de l’Enseignement supérieur, du Numérique et de l’Innovation, des organisations de personnes handicapées, des universités, des chercheurs, des enseignants ainsi que des partenaires techniques et financiers. Cette consultation permettra d’identifier les principaux défis, les bonnes pratiques existantes et les priorités d’action à l’échelle du continent. Élaboration du rapport stratégique Sur la base d’une revue documentaire et des résultats des consultations, un rapport intitulé Inclusive STEM Futures Africa sera élaboré. Ce document analysera les obstacles et les opportunités liés à l’inclusion dans les STEM, notamment dans le contexte de la transformation numérique et de l’intelligence artificielle, et formulera des recommandations stratégiques à destination des États membres. Atelier régional de validation Un atelier de validation réunira les principales parties prenantes afin d’examiner les conclusions du rapport, de consolider les recommandations proposées et de favoriser leur appropriation par les gouvernements et les partenaires. Résultats attendus • Production de la première feuille de route africaine sur les STEM inclusives ; • Renforcement du dialogue entre les secteurs de l’éducation, des sciences, du numérique et du handicap ; • Mise à disposition de recommandations stratégiques pour des politiques STEM plus inclusives ; • Contribution au développement d’une transformation numérique accessible à tous et à la réduction des inégalités dans l’accès aux carrières scientifiques et technologiques.Contributions to the Regular ProgrammePlanned start date of the activityDate prévue de début de l'activitéUnited Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO)Core Data Portal Focal Pointcore@unesco.orgSECTOR OF SOCIAL AND HUMAN SCIENCESXM-DAC-41304-A210441211United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO)Organisation des Nations unies pour l'éducation, la science et la culture (UNESCO)UNESCO adopted its Disability Inclusion Strategy (2026-2029) at the 43rd General Conference, reaffirming its commitment to ensuring that persons with disabilities are fully included across all its fields of competence — education, sciences, culture and communication.

Au cours de l’histoire, de nombreux biens culturels ivoiriens ont quitté le territoire national dans des contextes variés, notamment durant la période coloniale, les conflits ou à travers des circuits illicites de trafic des biens culturels. Au cours des dernières années, la question du retour et de la restitution des biens culturels africains a pris une importance croissante sur la scène internationale. Plusieurs États et institutions détentrices de collections africaines ont engagé des processus de dialogue visant à favoriser le retour de biens culturels vers leurs pays d’origine. Dans le cadre de cette dynamique internationale, la Côte d’Ivoire a en décembre 2018, officiellement demandé à la France la restitution de 148 biens culturels considérés comme des trésors nationaux, spoliés pendant la période coloniale. Toutefois, la réussite du processus de retour des biens culturels nécessite le renforcement des capacités techniques, institutionnelles et opérationnelles des acteurs nationaux chargés de l’identification, de la documentation, de la conservation, de la gestion et de la valorisation de ces biens. Le projet va permettre d’accompagner les efforts nationaux en développant les compétences des professionnels du patrimoine culturel et en mettant en place les conditions favorables à un retour durable et bénéfique des biens culturels ivoiriens.

L’initiative repose sur la mobilisation conjointe des institutions clés des États de la région — ministères de la culture, douanes, forces de sécurité, autorités judiciaires, musées et centres de recherche — avec l’appui de partenaires internationaux tels que l’UNESCO et INTERPOL, afin d’assurer une approche conforme aux standards internationaux et fondée sur la coopération. L’atelier, prévu sur trois jours, combine des apports juridiques, opérationnels et techniques portant sur les cadres légaux, les réseaux criminels et les mécanismes de coopération internationale. Il réunit une diversité d’acteurs afin de favoriser les échanges et le partage d’expériences, tout en intégrant des outils pratiques et des études de cas. Un dispositif de suivi est prévu pour assurer la durabilité des résultats, notamment à travers la création d’un réseau régional d’experts et la mise en œuvre des recommandations. L’atelier est également mutualisé avec celui consacré à la Convention de 1954, permettant une approche intégrée et plus efficiente de la protection du patrimoine culturel.Contributions to the Regular ProgrammePlanned start date of the activityDate prévue de début de l'activitéUnited Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO)Core Data Portal Focal Pointcore@unesco.orgSECTOR FOR CULTUREXM-DAC-41304-A210561031United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO)Organisation des Nations unies pour l'éducation, la science et la culture (UNESCO)This project supports Member States and Indigenous Peoples to safeguard and promote Indigenous knowledge, cultures and languages through a human rights‑based approach grounded in dignity, equality and participation.

Building on Phase 1 (4,000 teachers reached), Phase 2 will expand to teachers across at least 8 countries, while strengthening evidence and system-level uptake. Gender gaps in STEM begin long before career choices, often in mathematics classrooms, where biases and expectations shape girls’ confidence and participation. In a region where learning outcomes in mathematics remain low, these gaps translate into structural barriers to STEM pathways and, ultimately, to participation in emerging fields such as artificial intelligence. Strengthening mathematics education for girls is therefore not only an equity issue, but it is also a strategic investment in the region’s capacity to develop future talent. Building on the strong foundation established during Phase 1 and responding to the high demand from teachers and education systems across the region, the next phase of the project will focus on scaling the initiative, deepening its impact, and strengthening policy engagement and knowledge dissemination. The project will expand teacher professional development by replicating Mathematics for All workshops with new cohorts of teachers, leveraging the network of trained facilitators and adapting delivery formats to national contexts. This expansion will allow the project to reach teachers who were unable to participate in 2025 and address gaps across different countries and education systems.Contributions to the Regular ProgrammePlanned start date of the activityDate prévue de début de l'activitéUnited Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO)Core Data Portal Focal Pointcore@unesco.orgEDUCATION SECTORXM-DAC-41304-A210295151United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO)Organisation des Nations unies pour l'éducation, la science et la culture (UNESCO)Access to quality scientific knowledge is essential for strengthening science literacy, critical thinking, and innovation.

Recent research indicates that 78% of journalists’ fatalities occur outside of their workplaces, highlighting the pervasive risks journalists face, even in non-conflict zones. On a positive note, 16 countries reported implementing measures to enhance the safety of women journalists, although most crimes against journalists continue to go unpunished. It is also important to note that the safety of journalists encompasses freedom of expression online, directly relating to issues of right-based digital security, surveillance, the right to privacy, and access to information, all of which are pertinent to journalists working in the digital age In this context, UNESCO will continue to spearhead the implementation of the UN Plan of Action, promoting the protection of journalists at grassroots, national, and global levels, and optimizing the contribution to national strategies and coordination mechanisms.

The Strategy for 43 C/5 builds upon this foundation, supported by all three programmes, focusing on fostering innovation in practice and policy. In this context, the Science Sector contributes by integrating Indigenous knowledge into global sustainability frameworks, ensuring that traditional ecological wisdom informs climate adaptation, biodiversity conservation, and policy development. On the other hand, the Communication and Information programme leverages initiatives such as the International Decade of Indigenous Languages to promote linguistic diversity online, develop language technologies, and document Indigenous knowledge systems to prevent their erosion. There is growing recognition of the importance of Indigenous heritage for sustainable development, cultural diversity, and resilience, many Indigenous languages and knowledge systems remain at risk due to marginalization, insufficient documentation, and the impacts of globalization.Contributions to the Regular ProgrammePlanned start date of the activityDate prévue de début de l'activitéUnited Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO)Core Data Portal Focal Pointcore@unesco.orgSECTOR OF COMMUNICATION AND INFORMATIONXM-DAC-41304-406RAF0005United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO)Organisation des Nations unies pour l'éducation, la science et la culture (UNESCO)Contexte et justification L’UNESCO, conformément à son mandat et à son rôle de partenaire multilatéral de confiance, est appelée à accompagner, à la demande et sous l’orientation du Burkina Faso, du Niger et du Mali, un processus de concertation et de planification conjointe, visant à renforcer la cohérence, la lisibilité et la complémentarité des interventions relevant de son champ de compétence.

It responds to the increased global recognition of culture as a “global public good” and a cornerstone of sustainable development, reinforced by MONDIACULT 2025, which has positioned culture as an indispensable pillar for inclusive, just, and peaceful societies. This renewed political momentum has further consolidated international consensus on the need to integrate culture more systematically into development frameworks and to advance discussions on its recognition as an independent goal in the post-2030 development agenda. At the same time, Member States continue to face structural challenges in translating global policy commitments into operational frameworks, including effective cultural policies, sustainable financing mechanisms, and robust monitoring systems. These constraints are compounded by competing national priorities and uneven institutional capacities. In addition, the absence of comprehensive, harmonized, and comparable cultural data—particularly on culture’s contribution to the SDGs—remains a major barrier to evidence-based policymaking and investment in culture. Against this backdrop, Output 4.1.CLT focuses on bridging the gap between global advocacy and national implementation by strengthening Member States’ capacities to design, implement, and monitor culture-based public policies aligned with sustainable development priorities.SpainSouth AfricaIndiaPlanned start date of the activityDate prévue de début de l'activitéUnited Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO)Core Data Portal Focal Pointcore@unesco.orgSECTOR FOR CULTURE84641.26687435.83111822.11914.4184641.26914.41111822.11687435.83747.86XM-DAC-41304-2210561023United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO)Organisation des Nations unies pour l'éducation, la science et la culture (UNESCO)The UNESCO Creative Cities Network (UCCN) is an expanding international city network, with a growing potential to innovate on culture driven urban development. Its member cities have developed and experimented innovative ways to integrate culture and creativity at the core of their policies, strategies and plans, which significantly contributes to sustainable development. As a UNESCO flagship city programme, the Network has contributed to strengthening advocacy efforts towards the integration of culture in the international sustainable development agenda. With its 350 member cities in more than 100 countries, the Network has a growing voice in international discussions on cities and sustainable urban development. As a result, the number of cities applying to each Call for Application has also been rising. The Network covers a variety of cities, from small-sized settlements to metropolises, within various economic, social, political and environmental settings. This urban diversity allows the emergence of a wide range of policies, strategies and practices at the city level aimed at dealing with common challenges of our time. Over the last years, the Network has significantly reshaped its management mechanisms. UNESCO’s leading role as the Secretariat of the Network has been consolidated, covering different action areas notably the designation process, the membership monitoring excercise, the organization of the annual conferences, knowledge development, awareness raising and communication activities, among many others. Committed to fostering sustainable urban development through creativity and culture, the Network supports the localization of the 2030 Agenda, more specifically Goal 11 – Sustainable Cities and Communities, and the 2022 MONDIACULT Declaration, identifying culture as a “global public good”, with a view to integrating it as a standalone goal in the post-2030 international development agenda. The UCCN Secretariat also coordinates the UNESCO Cities Platform, which was established in 2019 encompassing 8 networks and programmes on or closely related to cities across all 5 programme sectors. Aimed at strengthening the Organization’s crosscutting approach on sustainable urban development, the Platform and its members are privileged partners of the UCCN to extend its impact and outreach, combining culture with education, sciences, information and communication in devising comprehensive and effective solutions to development issues.ChinaPlanned start date of the activityDate prévue de début de l'activitéUnited Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO)Core Data Portal Focal Pointcore@unesco.orgSECTOR FOR CULTURE36197.55173866.4637414.957377.5937414.9536197.557377.59173866.46XM-DAC-41304-2210566022United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO)Organisation des Nations unies pour l'éducation, la science et la culture (UNESCO)Mainstream the linkage between culture institutions, policies, frameworks and infrastructure for the promotion and acceleration of the accomplishments of SDG'sContributions to the Regular ProgrammePlanned start date of the activityDate prévue de début de l'activitéUnited Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO)Core Data Portal Focal Pointcore@unesco.orgSECTOR FOR CULTURE2810.8754860.4637345.78172.0254860.462810.8737345.78XM-DAC-41304-2210566042United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO)Organisation des Nations unies pour l'éducation, la science et la culture (UNESCO)This program contributes to strengthening capacities to promote and monitor the contribution of culture to the implementation of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development in Member States under the Santiago Regional Office at the local and national level.

With diverse communities settling into its dense urban fabric over the centuries, Al-Salt’s public spaces have been the link between homes, religions, and cultures and have preserved the culture of hospitality and tolerance in a melting pot. The socio-cultural architectural and urban attributes of the city make it a unique example of a living heritage with a strong link between intangible attributes (tolerance and co-habitation; urban hospitality and urban social welfare; unique craftsmanship) and tangible attributes (significant built heritage and the urban setting). However, these public spaces that have played such an important role in supporting this culture of tolerance, intangible heritage, and social cohesion are currently suffering from several issues, as drainage problems, vandalism, exposed pipes and wires, and damaged surfaces, to name a few. The integrity of Al-Salt is vulnerable, and the rehabilitation and conservation of these spaces and their related living heritage assets are necessary to maintain the hospitable urban fabric. Yet, as the city continues to grow amid evolving challenges, such as a pandemic, the influx of refugees, rising unemployment, and the effects of climate change, public spaces have never been so vital and yet so neglected in upholding the integrity and social cohesion of this historically and culturally significant city. Also to be considered is the growth in tourism since the WH inscription, which constitutes a challenge as well as an opportunity, adding stress to an already densely populated city which the urban spaces can help ease, while at the same time supporting local economic development, which benefits from the valorisation of ICH. Accordingly, this project aims to enhance the social cohesion, increase the livelihood opportunities, and maintain the integrity of Al-Salt city through the rehabilitation of safe, inclusive, and accessible green public spaces, the development of a city-wide public space strategy, as well as the documentation, promotion, and valorization of living heritage assets within Al-Salt Municipality. The project adopts a multi-dimensional approach that is informed by the urban development pressures and challenges that threaten the vulnerable sustainability, authenticity, and cohesion of the urban fabric of Al-Salt city. The rehabilitated spaces will provide the necessary platforms to facilitate marketplaces and economic exchange to improve the socioeconomic conditions of vulnerable communities in Al-Salt.KenyaPlanned start date of the activityDate prévue de début de l'activitéUnited Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO)Core Data Portal Focal Pointcore@unesco.orgSECTOR FOR CULTURE137432.54781642.40137432.54119283.79XM-DAC-41304-221KEN2000United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO)Organisation des Nations unies pour l'éducation, la science et la culture (UNESCO)Lake Turkana is the world's largest permanent desert lake, Africa's fourth- largest lake by volume and Kenya's largest inland Lake.

The informal economy in Liberia is estimated at 42.7% which is approximately USD 6 billion at GDP PPP levels (Worldeconomics.com, World Bank 2023a) A huge percentage of the Liberian youth estimated at 80% acquire their skills in the informal sector (TVET Policy, 2022-2027). About 70 % of the training providers offer informal or non-formal on-the-job based skills delivery. At the same time, Liberia’s unemployment rate is at 3.63 % (World Bank) and more than 50% of Liberians live below Poverty line (USAID Liberia, October 2022). Cumulatively, Liberia faces significant challenges in its education sector, including many out-of-school children, over-age enrolments, and inadequate access to education. Most Women and youth are therefore engaged in the informal sector , possessing valuable skills and competencies that remain unrecognized due to systematic challenges such as the absence of a functional recognition and certification system. Therefore, RPL (Recognition of Prior Learning) remains a potential solution to address the higher rate of unrecognized skills among the youth and women and create opportunities for these individuals to access decent jobs and contribute to the country's socioeconomic progress. RPL presents a win-win situation for all; adults seeking RPL, providers offering RPL, employers requiring certified human resources, unions aligned with each stakeholder interest and the state which is responsible for the citizens welfare as well as the economy.

Interethnic harmony has proven fragile, as evidenced by two large-scale incidents of interethnic violence in the southern regions in 1990 and 2010, as well as smaller instances of interethnic strife in other areas. Persistent divides in society centre on issues such as the importance of diversity and majority-minority representation in key sectors, including public service and law enforcement; the role of majority and minority languages in public spaces and education; the influence of religion in public life; gender equality; the boundaries of democratic transition. The project intends to address social polarization by equipping youth, including adolescents, from diverse backgrounds and outlooks, with peacebuilding competencies such as communication and expression, cooperation and teamwork, identity and self-esteem. These skills are intended to empower them to lead constructive dialogue across the social cleavages that pose potential challenges to peace and security. These social divisions include those on the grounds of secular or religious, ethnicity, age, gender, geographical origin, and social status. Additionally, the project will build capacities of people to bridge differences in a non-violent manner and counter the prevalence of violent culture. In doing so, it will emphasise developing skills for constructive communication, critical evaluation of diverse information flows, and promoting media and information literacy (MIL) as a key tool for navigating today’s complex information ecosystems. By fostering MIL competencies, young people will learn to identify, analyse, and counter disinformation, misinformation and hate speech, which are significant drivers of polarization. Empowered as agents of non-violent culture, the young people will be enabled to implement a wide array of initiatives aimed at social cohesion. Youth-led facilitation of exchanges of perspectives, knowledge, resources between communities and individuals representing these major social divides is among the projects’ strategies. The project will contribute to information integrity by addressing hate speech while protecting freedom of expression to foster tolerance and respect for difference. Engaging youth in intergenerational dialogue with parents and authorities, in both formal and informal settings, will be an important aspect of creating an enabling environment for peacebuilding. Local authorities, religious leaders, schools and parents will collaborate to support youth-led efforts to bridge the divides. Youth in the target communities will be equipped with skills through context-specific and globally recognized practices, such as human-centred design, and media and information literacy. These tools will help them develop personally and contribute to their communities. The human-centered design approach offers opportunities to develop solutions to problems putting real people in the center and tailoring them to their needs. Young people will apply critical thinking, team-work, communication, leadership, problem solving skills and develop system-thinking approach to real-life situations. These are essential competencies that young people will need to fulfil their roles as agents of change when addressing issues that cause polarisation and/or violence. Sustainability will be ensured by the co-design of solutions to be implemented by young people with support from other stakeholders and integrated into local policies and practices beyond the Project’s end. Additionally, activities to integrate peace education and MIL into formal and informal education will have a long-term impact on building the citizenship skills and conflict resilience of communities at large. The Project will ensure that adolescents and their families who participate in Project-related decisions are properly informed and consulted, and have their views acted upon. This will be ensured by the availability of feedback mechanisms and regular collection, analysis, and integration of this information into decision-making processes.UN - Peacebuilding fundPlanned start date of the activityDate prévue de début de l'activitéUnited Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO)Core Data Portal Focal Pointcore@unesco.orgSECTOR OF COMMUNICATION AND INFORMATION9360.74200000.00250000.00246839.269360.7444053.78XM-DAC-41304-235SOM1000United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO)Organisation des Nations unies pour l'éducation, la science et la culture (UNESCO)Jointly implemented by UNICEF and UNESCO, the project will pilot peace education approaches in 180 schools across Banadir and Jubaland.

It will support capacity building, the increase of African experts, and involve youth. The Secretariat will primarily support 11 countries with no properties on the WH List, assist 14 sites on the List of the WH in danger, mentoring experts and support conservation to achieve targets of the SDGs and Aspiration 5 of the Agenda 2063. Support will focus on the participation of the States Parties, the African World Heritage Fund, universities, experts, civil society, youth and other partners in celebrating the 50th anniversary of the 1972 Convention. The World Heritage Committee, through Decision 46 COM 10B, requested the World Heritage Centre and its partners to continue monitoring the implementation of the Third Cycle Regional Action Plan (2021–2027) and to prepare a final assessment report on its overall implementation for submission to the Committee in 2028. Furthermore, through Decision 47 COM 10, the Committee launched the Fourth Cycle of Periodic Reporting in Africa and underscored the importance of building upon the achievements, lessons learned and recommendations emerging from the Third Cycle. In this context, the budget allocated to the follow-up of the Third Cycle Regional Action Plan during the 2026–2027 biennium remains fully relevant and necessary. The proposed activities will not only support the completion of the Third Cycle by monitoring the implementation of the Regional Action Plan and documenting its results, but will also directly contribute to the successful implementation of the Fourth Cycle of Periodic Reporting in Africa. As one of the first regions to implement the renewed Periodic Reporting approach, sub-Saharan Africa, comprising 47 States Parties and 112 World Heritage properties at the launch of the Fourth Cycle, will play a leading role in operationalising the reforms adopted by the Committee. The follow-up activities will provide an opportunity to assess the extent to which States Parties have integrated and implemented the priorities of the Third Cycle Regional Action Plan at national and site levels, while simultaneously identifying remaining capacity-building needs, institutional gaps and emerging priorities to be addressed through the Fourth Cycle. The activities financed under this budget line therefore serve a dual purpose: (i) completing the monitoring and evaluation of the Third Cycle Regional Action Plan and informing the final assessment report to be submitted in 2028; and (ii) supporting the implementation of the Fourth Cycle by ensuring continuity of regional cooperation, strengthening national capacities, and providing an evidence-based foundation for the development and implementation of future regional priorities and action plans.FrancePlanned start date of the activityDate prévue de début de l'activitéUnited Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO)Core Data Portal Focal Pointcore@unesco.orgSECTOR FOR CULTURE6664.2919568.006664.29XM-DAC-41304-3210512271United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO)Organisation des Nations unies pour l'éducation, la science et la culture (UNESCO)In line with the Action Plan for World Heritage in the Africa Region (2021-2027) adopted following the Third Cycle of Periodic Reporting on the World Heritage Convention in the Africa Region, priority activities and support will go towards increasing the representativity of Africa on the UNESCO World Heritage List, and with particular attention to Comoros, Djibouti, Somalia, and South Sudan (which do not yet have WH sites inscribed).Contributions to the Regular ProgrammePlanned start date of the activityDate prévue de début de l'activitéUnited Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO)Core Data Portal Focal Pointcore@unesco.orgSECTOR FOR CULTURE12681.6610368.9912681.6610368.99XM-DAC-41304-3210512281United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO)Organisation des Nations unies pour l'éducation, la science et la culture (UNESCO)The UNESCO Regional Office for Southern Africa will support an increased representativity of Southern Africa on the UNESCO World Heritage List through the submission of successful nomination files from Southern African Member States with a view to promoting the identification, protection and management of cultural and natural heritage for sustainable development and lasting peace in the region.Contributions to the Regular ProgrammePlanned start date of the activityDate prévue de début de l'activitéUnited Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO)Core Data Portal Focal Pointcore@unesco.orgSECTOR FOR CULTURE337.0041122.0241122.02337.0087.65XM-DAC-41304-3210512291United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO)Organisation des Nations unies pour l'éducation, la science et la culture (UNESCO)En lien avec le Plan d'action régional et la Priorité Afrique, le Bureau régional pour l'Afrique centrale poursuivra ses interventions pour soutenir les pays dans l’inscription de nouveaux sites améliorant ainsi la représentativité de la Liste du patrimoine mondial.

With these resources UNESCO sends the experts to support the situation through their expertise to address the issue relayed to education and culture, however, Natural Sciences Sector does not have dedicated resources for emergency response. Due to the lack of a dedicated fund for emergency response in Natural Sciences Sector, it is difficult to send experts for the multi-sectoral missions once disasters happen. “Early warning systems” and “Preparedness and Response” are critical components of disaster resilience building, providing vital information to help communities prepare and mitigate the impacts of natural hazards, ultimately saving lives, reducing damage and losses. It is the key to shift from post-disaster response to proactive disaster risk reduction as highlighted in Sendai Framework 2015 through the improved Early warning systems and Preparedness and Response. Therefore, one of the main objectives of the fund for emergency response is to support countries/regions to recover and reconstruct from the damage quickly. UNESCO is dedicated to supporting Member States in strengthening their capabilities to establish, maintain and enhance early warning systems to align with the objectives in the Sendai Framework. The ambitious vision set forth by the Secretary-General to ensure universal access to early warning systems by 2027 is one in which UNESCO actively participates.

Aligned to the priorities of the pilot countries - Ethiopia, Djibouti, Rwanda, the Pacific SIDS, Solomon Islands, Tuvalu, Kiribati and Fiji, the project addresses climate change adaptation and disaster risk reduction. Two outcomes are targeted, firstly, by reducing economic losses from hazards by comprehensively mapping supply chains and conducting risk assessments of major industries. Secondly, the project seeks to strengthen disaster preparedness and response through consolidated data sources, improved data sharing and visualisation techniques. The project also emphasizes the enhancement of capacities to ensure resilience of industries and the protection of livelihoods.

However, after 20 years of implementing the Convention, the regional balance on the Lists remains a challenge, with the Africa Region still underrepresented. This project therefore addresses the need to strengthen capacities and explore South-South cooperation among States Parties in Africa to carry out successful nomination processes, for ensuring a better representation on the Lists of the Convention. It follows a dual approach, comprising: i) an ambitious capacity-building programme in Africa for the preparation of nominations and promotion of regional cooperation (outcome 1), and ii) innovative spaces for enhancing more holistic frameworks for safeguarding intangible cultural heritage in the region, through the identification and promotion of synergies with other UNESCO conventions in policymaking (outcome 2).JapanPlanned start date of the activityDate prévue de début de l'activitéUnited Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO)Core Data Portal Focal Pointcore@unesco.orgSECTOR FOR CULTURE165450.19404416.3436783.47165450.19185684.47XM-DAC-41304-537RAF4005United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO)Organisation des Nations unies pour l'éducation, la science et la culture (UNESCO)This project will contribute to building coordination mechanism between the Ministries of Education and Culture in Botswana, Malawi, Zambia to ensure that a robust methodology for heritage-based education is anchored in national policies and available to enrich teacher training courses and curriculum development for the future.

However, the World Heritage List (WHL) faces the issue of representability, with only 108 sites in the Africa region, or 9 % of the total sites inscribed on the List. Additionally, 13 African sites out of 56 sites are on the List of World Heritage in Danger. These figures do not meet the targets of the 1994 Global Strategy for a Representative, Balanced and Credible World Heritage List and the objective of establishing the African World Heritage Fund (AWHF) in 2026. In fact, Africa still faces challenges in identifying its rich cultural and natural diversity of Outstanding Universal Value (OUV). There are many reasons why Africa faces challenges, including resources (human and financial), crises (sanitary, environmental and social) and academic (capacity development, training and expertise). For example, the understanding and application of World Heritage concepts such as OUV, which creates a gap between academic discourse and local practices, also hinder the implementation of the Convention, especially the identification and conservation practices. In line with World Heritage Committee decision 46 COM 11, this project aims to provide a platform for reflection in view of addressing this gap by enlarging, clarifying and identifying a new understanding of the concept of heritage authenticity in theory and practice in the African context. This reflection will contribute to UNESCO’s Global Strategy for a representative, balanced and credible WHL, and in particular, to set a foundation for implementing the Convention in Africa in view of supporting its representatively on the List and capacity development in Africa.JapanPlanned start date of the activityDate prévue de début de l'activitéUnited Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO)Core Data Portal Focal Pointcore@unesco.orgSECTOR FOR CULTURE237434.32212565.6839215.40237434.32XM-DAC-41304-537RAF4007United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO)Organisation des Nations unies pour l'éducation, la science et la culture (UNESCO)The project addresses Africa’s underrepresentation on the UNESCO World Heritage List by tackling its root causes, limited technical expertise and experts, fragile institutions, and under-resourced heritage sectors.

By providing all learners with a broad understanding of African history, and promoting knowledge, skills, values and attitudes that defy hegemonic knowledge systems and racial biases, the GHA can contribute to forging a united, prosperous and peaceful Africa and world. To support countries in these efforts, UNESCO is developing a Resource Pack for the mainstreaming of the GHA into education systems. During 2026–2027 the focus will be on finalizing the core components of the Resource Pack, including the pedagogical pathway and thematic guidebooks, as well as providing targeted national support to countries that have committed to advancing this work.

Open solutions—including Open Access, Open Data, Free and Open Source Software, and related public-interest digital resources—help strengthen transparency, accountability, public participation, and knowledge sharing. However, persistent challenges such as unequal access to digital infrastructure, limited institutional capacities, fragmented policy environments, and barriers to participation continue to restrict the benefits for many communities. UNESCO is uniquely positioned to address these challenges by supporting Member States in developing policies and capacity building that promote open, interoperable, and trustworthy digital public goods. By advancing Open Solutions, the initiative contributes to more inclusive, accessible, and sustainable information ecosystems that support access to knowledge, innovation, and public-interest outcomes. Implementation Strategy UNESCO will implement the initiative through policy support, technical assistance, capacity development, and multistakeholder cooperation to advance Open Solutions and digital public goods. The programme will provide guidance to Member States on developing and strengthening Open Access and Open Data policies that enhance transparency, accountability, interoperability, and public participation.

In order to support this process of transformation, while considering the importance of analysing, systematising, and evaluating the initiatives carried out, this proposal seeks to build on the efforts made by Computadores para Educar Colombia (governmental insittution), its results, practices, challenges and lessons learned, to develop a new vision and recommendations for action that, while guiding Computadores para Educar's decision-making to transition from delivering computers to build digital citizenship education for peace, generate spaces and mechanisms for consensus building, dialogue, reflection, training and the sharing of knowledge and experiences. This initiative is being carried out by UNESCO within the framework of a larger proposal, ‘Providing technical support for the implementation and positioning of the knowledge management strategy of Computadores para Educar,’ which is coordinated by UNDP and will result in an inter-agency cooperation agreement (UN-UN Agreement). This larger proposal coordinated by the UNDP is organised into five interrelated components, which together guarantee a comprehensive and coherent intervention with the aim of strengthening knowledge management, educational innovation and the institutional positioning of Computers for Education (CPE). These five components are:-Positioning Documents; Technical notes; A general management report; Data analysis; Communications and Participation. Building on the vision of Computadores para Educar on comprensive education and the importance of improving the integration of technologies in education for advancing peace building in, and through education, UNESCO SJO frames this work as an opportunity to follow-up and implement the 2023 Recommendation.United Nations Development ProgrammeUnited Nations Development ProgrammePlanned start date of the activityDate prévue de début de l'activitéUnited Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO)Core Data Portal Focal Pointcore@unesco.orgEDUCATION SECTOR492646.19180468.22XM-DAC-41304-KUW1385366United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO)Organisation des Nations unies pour l'éducation, la science et la culture (UNESCO)This project represents Phase 1 of a heritage-based development plan for Al-Ahmadi, Kuwait, integrating heritage conservation with urban regeneration and community engagement.

These initiatives place local voices at the center, ensuring that heritage is celebrated authentically and sustainably. Youth involvement is crucial, as young people bring energy, creativity, and digital skills to promote cultural experiences through storytelling, social media, and innovative tour designs. Their participation also strengthens intergenerational knowledge transfer, keeping traditions alive for future generations. Equally important is women’s leadership, since women often safeguard crafts, cuisine, oral traditions, and rituals. By engaging women as leaders, these initiatives promote gender equality and create new economic opportunities. Together, youth and women transform tourism into a tool for community empowerment, ensuring that income from handicrafts, homestays, and performances flows directly to families.

This transformative wave holds vast potential for revitalizing technical and vocational education and training (TVET) systems, enabling them to anticipate future skill demands, including as related to sustainable development, and broaden access to skill-building opportunities across the Caribbean region. Such skills require strong foundations, including in literacy which thousands of children and youth, particularly boys do not possess in the region. This workplan aims to strengthen TVET institutions and programmes to equip learners with more relevant skills, including in sustainability and greening economies and jobs in order to facilitate their transition into the labour market. It also aims to address youth, in particular boys’ illiteracy through measure to improve their engagement with reading, including through the use of technology.Contributions to the Regular ProgrammePlanned start date of the activityDate prévue de début de l'activitéUnited Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO)Core Data Portal Focal Pointcore@unesco.orgEDUCATION SECTOR12052.4812052.48XM-DAC-41304-3210151022United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO)Organisation des Nations unies pour l'éducation, la science et la culture (UNESCO)The main focus of the plan is the implementation of the Digital Teacher Training.Contributions to the Regular ProgrammePlanned start date of the activityDate prévue de début de l'activitéUnited Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO)Core Data Portal Focal Pointcore@unesco.orgEDUCATION SECTOR39318.1039318.109964.32XM-DAC-41304-3210151042United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO)Organisation des Nations unies pour l'éducation, la science et la culture (UNESCO)This programme focuses on teacher education and professional development.The Varkey FoundationPlanned start date of the activityDate prévue de début de l'activitéUnited Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO)Core Data Portal Focal Pointcore@unesco.orgEDUCATION SECTOR13295.9225167.565969.8913295.9225167.56XM-DAC-41304-3210154012United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO)Organisation des Nations unies pour l'éducation, la science et la culture (UNESCO)UNESCO Bangkok's Workplan for OP5 Regular Programme strategically focuses on two key components to advance UNESCO's pivotal role in teacher development across the Asia-Pacific region.

All 25 districts were affected, 22 declared disaster zones, impacting 2.2 million people (612,000 families). As of mid-December 2025, 639 deaths and 193 missing were reported, with over 233,000 people sheltered in nearly 1,000 centres at peak displacement. The cyclone caused severe damage to housing, infrastructure, and essential services: 5,300 houses destroyed, 85,000 damaged; major transport disruption; power outages for 3.9 million; and water supply loss for 2.5 million, heightening health risks. Preliminary assessments indicate 1,185 schools and 2,720 preschools in flood-affected areas, with 10–23% damaged, while many remain in use as safety shelters. The disaster coincided with national examinations, leading to the indefinite postponement of the GCE Advanced Level (A/L) exams, increasing stress among learners. All early childhood development centres have remained closed since 28 November 2025, affecting 68,000 preschool-age children. Overall, an estimated 458,609 school-age children, 28,900 teachers and school leaders, and nearly 900 children with disabilities have been affected. Over 60% of children lost essential learning materials, and prolonged school closures and overcrowded shelters have heightened protection and mental health risks, especially children and adolescent girls. On 29 November 2025, the President of Sri Lanka declared a State of Emergency and requested international assistance. Furthermore, on 19 December 2025, the Secretary-General of the Sri Lanka National Commission for UNESCO sent detailed requests to DIR/UNESCO New Delhi for UNESCO's immediate support to restore minimum standards for safe and child-friendly learning environments. This Special Account Project will be UNESCO's response to the Sri Lanka Ditwah cyclone emergency and provide: (a) support for the continuity of learning in Colombo and Kegalle Districts; (b) immediate Mental Health and Psychosocial Support (MHPSS) through education systems.Contributions to the Regular ProgrammePlanned start date of the activityDate prévue de début de l'activitéUnited Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO)Core Data Portal Focal Pointcore@unesco.orgEDUCATION SECTOR64200.0044405.00XM-DAC-41304-406VIE1000United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO)Organisation des Nations unies pour l'éducation, la science et la culture (UNESCO)Recent typhoons Bualoi and Matmo severely impacted Viet Nam’s education sector, damaging nearly 10,000 schools across 14 provinces, disrupting learning for three million children, and causing over USD 35 million in losses.

Global consensus calls for improved digital platform governance, ensuring human rights due diligence, content moderation and content curation with a human rights-based approach, transparency, accountability, user empowerment, and independent oversight. UNESCO has developed, through a multistakeholder process, Guidelines for the governance of digital platforms (“the Guidelines”) to ensure that everyone's freedom of expression, access to information and diverse cultural content are fully guaranteed, while various stakeholders, including Member States, deal with key problems in the digital ecosystem, including dis- and misinformation and hate speech online. Thus, this project aims to safeguard and foster freedom of expression and access to information in the context of digital platform governance. To achieve this objective, UNESCO will promote a global understanding of a human rights-based approach of digital platform governance, which includes the improvement of practices and capacities of public sector as well as stronger advocacy and watchdog roles of civil society. A comparative perspective with other ongoing governance processes, such as the European Union Digital Services Act, will also complement the overall strategy of the project. The scope of the project will be limited to sub-regions of Africa, Asia and the Pacific and Latin America and the Caribbean to narrow the asymmetries between several actors, including governments, in governing the digital platforms.Delegations of the European UnionEuropean Union (EU)European CommissionPlanned start date of the activityDate prévue de début de l'activitéUnited Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO)Core Data Portal Focal Pointcore@unesco.orgSECTOR OF COMMUNICATION AND INFORMATION393433.22661418.60393433.22559185.89XM-DAC-41304-549GLO5003United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO)Organisation des Nations unies pour l'éducation, la science et la culture (UNESCO)The project aims at building the resilience of societies to the impact and spread of harmful content in conflict-prone, conflict-affected, and socially polarized environments, while protecting freedom of expression and enhancing the promotion of peace through new technologies and especially social media.

To mitigate these negative impacts, UNESCO is collaborating and supporting the government as well as non-governmental organizations in Iraq through technical and financial assistance to improve policy and planning, management and implementation of quality teaching and learning opportunities for all. In doing so UNESCO mobilizes from public and private partnerships. As an important partner in the extractive industry in Iraq since 2009, Eni is committed to increasing investment towards sustainability in Iraq in the coming years and has identified the education sector as a key target for its ‘Social Intervention’ activities. Eni’s commitment to education is to be accomplished through programmes aimed at promoting and improving access to quality education in close collaboration with local communities and authorities, contributing to guaranteeing sustainable and quality education to new generations, especially in the geographical areas in which Eni operates in Iraq. Eni aims to support efforts to ensure inclusive and equitable quality education and promote lifelong learning opportunities for all, in line with the goals and targets of Sustainable Development Goal 4, and in alignment with the priorities of Iraqi’s National Development Plan 2017-2022, Iraq Vision 2030 and the new National Education Strategy 2022-2031. Building on a preliminary assessment conducted by Eni in 2019 that involved a selected yet significant section of the social and educational system in Al Zubair, Eni has envisaged - along with the Directorate of Education of Basra - a tailored “Teach for Future” project to be implemented in the Al Zubair district of Basra Governorate that directly responds to the teaching and learning needs of the children, teachers, parents and school management community and district of 131 primary schools in the Al Zubair district. “Teach for Future” will be a tailored project that will focus on three interlinked components: i. Improved learning environment: improvement of infrastructures (including new constructions) and basic services in Al Zubair; ii. Teaching and learning practices: - teaching and learning tools developed and teachers’ capacities improved for the effective implementation of a child/learner centred approach to quality teaching and learning; - capacity enhancement for principals and DoE representatives to promote and implement innovative school management strategies and practices. iii. Pro-active role of communities, families and local authorities: empowerment of families and communities to practice child protection and play a proactive role in advancing quality education and learning for their children. The project will specifically focus on implementing the in-class learning environment under the first component and second and third components stated above. The physical aspects (construction and rehabilitation) of the first component is already under implementation by Eni Iraq BV. Since 2020, six school have been renovated in Basra Governorate reaching about 5.200 students, while a New High School for 700 female students is currently under construction in Zubair.Eni Iraq B.V.Planned start date of the activityDate prévue de début de l'activitéUnited Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO)Core Data Portal Focal Pointcore@unesco.orgEDUCATION SECTOR45251.831679625.001274641.00500482.1745251.83525.68XM-DAC-41304-570IRQ4002United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO)Organisation des Nations unies pour l'éducation, la science et la culture (UNESCO)In October 2019, the European Union, through the Regional Trust Fund established in response to the Syrian crisis (Madad Fund), signed an agreement with UNESCO for a joint project in Jordan and Iraq worth USD 12.2 million. Successfully completed in May 2024, the project aimed to “ensure dignified and sustainable livelihoods and create economic opportunities for Syrian refugees, vulnerable Jordanians, and Iraqis in the cultural heritage sector”. In Iraq, the project focused on the Kurdistan region of Iraq with an allocated budget of USD 5.3 million. An important part of the funds was channeled into interventions at the Citadel of Erbil. In continuity with earlier UNESCO interventions, the objective of the project activities at the Citadel was the safeguard and revitalization of the site. Following the completion of the Madad project, the Governorate of Erbil signed an agreement with UNESCO donating USD 110K to continue providing technical supervision and monitoring of the urban improvement works on the central alleyway of the Citadel being executed under a partnership agreement between the HCECR and a private donor, the KAR, scheduled to be completed in April – May 2025. As a follow up on their collaboration with the HCECR, UNESCO and the KAR are now proposing a long- term public-private partnership to carry out interventions at the Citadel of Erbil that will extend efforts to preserve and revitalize this unique World Heritage site. Within the general framework set out by the Sustainable Development Goals approved in 2015 by the UN member states in the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, the specific objective (Outcome) of the Project “Public-Private Partnership for the Revitalization of the Citadel of Erbil” will participate of SDG 11.4: Strengthened efforts to protect and safeguard the world’s cultural and natural heritage. Four project outputs articulate the activities of the project: Output 1: Conservation and Rehabilitation. Key heritage structures within Erbil Citadel preserved and restored, the accessibility and functionality of the site as a cultural and touristic venue improved and the experience of visitors at the site enhanced. Output 2: Promotion of Public-Private Partnerships (PPP) - Economic Development and Job Creation. A framework encouraging sustainable financing and investment in place for long-term revitalization of the Erbil Citadel. Output 3: Capacity Building and Training. Local capacities in heritage conservation, management, and sustainable tourism enhanced. Output 4: Promotion, Visibility and Public Engagement. Public awareness participation in the conservation and promotion of the Citadel of Erbil increased through cultural events and awareness campaigns. The project will focus on two areas of support: public-private partnerships, on one hand, and capacity building of the institutions and actors, public and private, involved in the rehabilitation, safeguard and promotion of the Citadel’s cultural assets, on the other. Developing local awareness, skills, knowledge, and technical capacity on the management of tangible and intangible heritage is a precondition for the authorities to lead a locally driven process of the site’s recovery. The approach and activities of the project address and support both areas simultaneously to produce synergies and mutually enriching results.Contributions to the Regular ProgrammePlanned start date of the activityDate prévue de début de l'activitéUnited Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO)Core Data Portal Focal Pointcore@unesco.orgSECTOR FOR CULTURE3000000.002278927.742278927.002278927.00251872.30XM-DAC-41304-570KEN1001United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO)Organisation des Nations unies pour l'éducation, la science et la culture (UNESCO)The collaboration between JP SA Couto and UNESCO IITE focuses on addressing educational challenges in Kenya by integrating AI and ICT to foster inclusive, sustainable, and equitable learning environments.

The latest round of hostilities which commenced in October 2023 is ongoing and has resulted in unprecedented levels of destruction and suffering. After a brief ceasefire and a temporary easing of basic goods entry into Gaza, all crossings for incoming cargo were completely closed on March 3rd, 2025. Starting in the early hours of March 18th, airstrikes resumed across the Gaza Strip, leading to further civilian casualties, mass displacement, and significant worsening of humanitarian conditions. Ninety per cent of Gaza’s current population of 2.1 million people has been displaced, lacking access to sufficient shelter, food, life-saving medical services, clean water, education and livelihoods. The education system is facing a near-total collapse, with 95.2% of educational infrastructure severely damaged, resulting in significant disruptions to the learning of 658,000 students. The impact has not only been physical but also psychological, with children facing high levels of trauma, emotional distress, and psychological issues due to prolonged exposure to violence. 17 months of missed schooling have led to substantial learning losses, particularly in foundational literacy and numeracy among children. In many cases, Temporary Learning Spaces (TLSs) have been the only option, accommodating just 25% of school-aged children. Furthermore, war-related disabilities, life-changing injuries, and heightened mental health challenges have created barriers not just to learning but to social reintegration and emotional recovery. Since October 2023, Palestinians in the West Bank have faced intensified restrictions due to discriminatory planning regime. Restrictions have included prolonged checkpoint delays, closure of town entrances and blockage of secondary roads. As a result, 782,000 students have experienced school closures, settler violence, demolitions, and military operations, severely disrupting their education and sense of security. The northern West Bank, specifically Tulkarm city and its refugee camps have been significantly affected by Israeli military operations. These operations have been ongoing for over a few months, leading to mass displacement and the near desertion of refugee camps. The military operations are part of a larger-scale operation in the northern West Bank, which also includes Jenin and Nablus. These operations have intensified restrictions, caused displacement, and disrupted access to education and basic services. To address the scale of learning loss and the psychological toll of prolonged conflict and displacement, the Education Cluster and the INEE Accelerated Education Working Group recommend that all education interventions systematically integrate mental health and psychosocial support (MHPSS) and social and emotional learning (SEL). Creating inclusive, caring, and safe learning environments is essential, not only to facilitate the return to education but also to restore a sense of normalcy, build resilience, and support emotional healing. SEL should be embedded across curricula, teaching practices, and school environments, equipping both learners and teachers with the tools to cope with adversity. This includes providing targeted teacher training to recognize and respond to signs of distress, and establishing referral systems in coordination with the Protection Cluster to ensure access to specialized support services. Prioritizing MHPSS and SEL is not optional, it is foundational to any sustainable recovery and to enabling Palestinian learners to reclaim their right to education. Overall goal To establish inclusive, safe, and supportive learning environments that integrate Learning SEL and MHPSS as foundational components, enabling Palestinian learners and educators to recover from adversity, rebuild resilience, and regain their right to quality education Activities 1.

I. Context: The conflict that erupted on 15 April 2023 between the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) continues to inflict dire consequences on civilians, exacerbating the protracted economic troubles and pre-existing conflicts in the country. Thousands of people were killed and injured, millions of people fleeing their homes in search of safety, both inside Sudan and across its borders, and millions grappling with a lack of access to food, water, and other basic services. OCHA reported that since the start of the conflict, the magnitude of IDPs and refugees is on the rise - over 1 million people were forced to cross into neighboring countries and more than 4.2 million people (845,779 Households) have been displaced to (3,929) locations across all 18 states. Approximately 25 million people, roughly half of Sudan’s population, are now vulnerable and need humanitarian assistance and protection through the end of 2023 . An estimated 19 million children in Sudan are out of school, some 6.5 million lost access to school due to the conflict, and 10,400 schools shuttered in conflict-affected areas , and 171 schools are serving as emergency shelters for the displaced population , exposing children to dangers including recruitment into armed groups, and sexual violence. The number of displaced, separated, or unaccompanied children will continue to increase as families flee. This emphasizes the need to support education to ensure its continuity and ensure that Sudanese children equitably access school and have sufficient psychosocial support in safe and child-friendly learning spaces. This calls for not only coordinated action at the national level but also a harmonized approach at the regional level. The Minister of Education (MoE) recently issued a directive for the resumption of all academic activities in all government, private, and non-governmental schools, and higher education institutions where security conditions permit, following months’ full closure of education institutions throughout the country. As requested by the MoE to support school reopening, education partners, including UNESCO, are seeking ways to ensure access and equity to safe education, and alternative learning options for learners, especially IDPs, to mitigate learning deficits and ensure continuity of learning. A key member of the Local Education Group (LEG) in Sudan, UNESCO Khartoum leads critical education portfolios and works closely with key national stakeholders as well as development and humanitarian partners to make sure learning continues under all circumstances. In addition to leading technical fields, UNESCO has recently taken on board the role of LEG Coordinating Agency in the framework of GPE, whereby the organization has been entrusted with strengthening the coordination of education actors through the identification of emergency priorities and harmonizing donor financing around them. In the last meeting of the LEG, held on November 27, 2023, it was agreed among members to develop a Transitional Education Plan for the period 2024 to 2026 (TEP 2024-26). II. Principles: For the process of TEP development to be meaningful and achieve its objectives, a series of principles need to be followed: LEG-led: The educational plan is considered a LEG instrument and a common framework for partner activities and activities supported by the national and state-level Ministry of Education with the participation of development and humanitarian partners. It is also considered a means of adapting to the emergency and early recovery of educational activities by identifying strategies that address the direct and urgent needs of the education sector. Therefore, the responsibility for its success depends on the participation of all concerned. While the planned interventions will require close cooperation between international and education experts, it will be necessary to ensure The Ministry of Education remains in consultation throughout the educational development process. Participatory: The plan is developed through a fully participatory process, to ensure that all LEG members and relevant ministries are consulted and engaged with all stakeholders (such as education partners, civil society, teachers’ unions, development and implementation partners, and humanitarian partners) and their views are considered. Transparency & mutual accountability: Transparency and mutual accountability are a central issue that is enhanced through the distribution of roles and responsibilities among key supporters and the efficient use of available resources. Transparency increases the ability of partners to hold each other accountable for their commitments, which improves performance and ensures successful implementation. Well-organized: The participatory planning process requires that it be well-organized and supported clearly by an organizational structure for the plan preparation process, and detailed clarification on the roles and responsibilities of the actors, especially the actors who lead and coordinate the process. III. TEP development governance structure: (To be agreed upon later) Led by the LEG, Organized and managed by the CA, UNESCO. 2 International experts, provided by UNESCO. 1 National expert, provided by UNESCO. 1 International expert, provided by UNHCR. IV. Scope of Work: TEP development in main steps: The Transitional Education Plan will identify strategic priorities and key educational objectives over the coming years (2024-2026). An approach will be adopted to ensure that the basic and urgent educational needs of all learners in Sudan, including girls, boys, and children with disabilities, are met. Attention will also be paid to gender issues, the social support program, humanitarian needs, peacebuilding, and development needs, to respond appropriately to the emergency while considering emerging needs. The plan will be developed through a series of steps detailed below, each step of which corresponds to a chapter of the final TEP document. Determining the implementation cost implications and expected financial constraints will also require back-and-forth adjustments until a practical and feasible mix of strategic programs and objectives are agreed upon by all partners and stakeholders. Phase 0: Preparation and roadmap development This phase consists of mobilization and consultations with the Ministry of Education, development and humanitarian partners, and education experts to agree on the structure of the process and develop the terms of reference, conceptual details, detailed roadmap, checklist of data needs, workshops schedule, and roles and responsibilities and the organizational structure. Phase 1: Education situation analysis This phase will be done by reviewing documents, evidence, and indicators to determine the capabilities and performance of the education system at a specific time (Baseline will be agreed upon later) and the external factors that directly affected the continuity of the education performance. It will also include the analysis of the impact of the conflict on education, macroeconomic status, demographic and educational data, human resources data, displaced and refugee data, and gender-related issues, and identify enabling factors, and challenges while highlighting potential directions and priorities for the next phase. Phase 2: Design priorities and key strategies. This phase consists of identifying and ranking immediate and urgent priorities, based on consultations and challenges identified through consulting meetings and workshops as well as from existing national policies and international commitments, operational capabilities, and available resources. They will be formulated as priorities and main strategies that will contribute to the continuity of education in emergencies and pave the way for long-term goals, after they are agreed upon by LEG members to be included within the TEP. Phase 3: Strategic program and activity Design. Once the priorities, Key strategies, and objectives are agreed upon, specific strategic programs are designed to achieve the objectives. These programs include an indication of the specific objectives, indicators, and expected outputs, specifying the size of the required inputs, and the main activities that must be completed while clarifying the most important issues, which are the roles and responsibilities of the parties concerned in each activity. Phase 4: Plan costing and financing framework. This phase includes developing a cost and financing framework to ensure that funds and resources are appropriately allocated and available for all planned activities. More specifically, financial costing and models will be used, and a financial simulation model will be developed to help achieve an optimal scenario with any financial gap. Phase 5: implementation framework To activate the plan, it will be translated into an operational plan throughout the implementation of TEP 2024-2026, Identify the risks of TEP implementation, address the obstacles and weaknesses of the key capacity, and propose a capacity development to be adopted to support the implementation. Phase 6: Design the Monitoring, Evaluation and Learning Framework (MEL) In this phase, it is ensured that the plan is moving in the right direction to achieve its goals before, during, and after implementation while ensuring regular monitoring at its various levels according to evidence that includes all stages and levels. For this purpose, a MEL framework will be developed that includes a matrix for presenting monitoring and evaluation results, and a matrix for clarifying key performance indicators (KPIs); In addition to details of the Monitoring, Evaluation, and Learning (MEL) framework. V. TEP 2024-2026 development modalities and timeline: Working modalities: National/states consultations In line with the principles identified above, the development of the Transitional Education Plan will rely largely on working sessions, consultations, and technical discussions via face-to-face meetings (workshops to discuss the different stages/steps of work), in addition to an indispensable series of consultations with the GPE/focal point and national experts. Some technical workshops may be held outside Sudan (described below) and will include stakeholders, donors, development and humanitarian partners, and representatives of civil society organizations, in addition to consultations at the level of all states of Sudan. Clear instructions and tools will be developed to collect the required data and information and determine the urgent priorities, which will be distributed to the groups of participants before their participation in the consultation workshops to give them sufficient time to prepare their responses. To achieve that, (4) consultative meetings at the level of partners and stakeholders are envisaged, and (3) consultative meetings at the national and state levels (Detailed activities are shown in Annex A) Remote support and workshops outside of Sudan A significant amount of support will be provided between remote and face-to-face consultations and workshops, to ensure continued progress in identifying priorities and developing TEP document, it is proposed to conduct two workshops outside Sudan as follows: - A 3-day workshop to formulate and endorse the design, strategic programs and planning for the TEP based on the priorities identified. - A one-day workshop to endorse the complete TEP document In addition to the consultative meetings with the local education group, the number of which is 4 divided into the phases of work. Timeline: After enriching and discussing the draft document and integrating all notes, a validated draft of TEP will be available by the end of April 2024, to be submitted to GPE, organize a donor conference, and mobilize resources and support. Under the proposed timeline, TEP will be developed over a 3 to 5 months period starting December 2023 and ending in April 2024. However, it is recognized that unpredictable situations could affect the ability of some tasks to be carried out throughout the consultancy. A draft of TEP priorities will be available by February 2024, which means the rest of the time will mainly be related to the appraisal and endorsement process and finalizing the implementation and monitoring frameworks. Results Framework for this project: Outcome 1: Sudan Education System Enhanced in planning and monitoring in Emergencies. Output 1: Sudan has developed a Transitional Education Plan for 2024 - 26 in close consultation with LEG members. Activity 1: International and National experts are identified and recruited for the development of the TEP 2024 - 26. Activity 2: TEP 2024 -26 is well discussed and approved by members of the LEG. Activity 3: Studies informing the TEP 2024 - 26 are conducted and results are shared and approved among LEG partners. Implementation Strategy: UNESCO Khartoum will identify 2 International experts and 2 national experts to work together to develop the TEP 2024 – 26.

I. Context: The conflict that erupted on 15 April 2023 between the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) continues to inflict dire consequences on civilians, exacerbating the protracted economic troubles and pre-existing conflicts in the country. Thousands of people were killed and injured, millions of people fleeing their homes in search of safety, both inside Sudan and across its borders, and millions grappling with a lack of access to food, water, and other basic services. OCHA reported that since the start of the conflict, the magnitude of IDPs and refugees is on the rise - over 1 million people were forced to cross into neighboring countries and more than 4.2 million people (845,779 Households) have been displaced to (3,929) locations across all 18 states. Approximately 25 million people, roughly half of Sudan’s population, are now vulnerable and need humanitarian assistance and protection through the end of 2023 . An estimated 19 million children in Sudan are out of school, some 6.5 million lost access to school due to the conflict, and 10,400 schools shuttered in conflict-affected areas , and 171 schools are serving as emergency shelters for the displaced population , exposing children to dangers including recruitment into armed groups, and sexual violence. The number of displaced, separated, or unaccompanied children will continue to increase as families flee. This emphasizes the need to support education to ensure its continuity and ensure that Sudanese children equitably access school and have sufficient psychosocial support in safe and child-friendly learning spaces. This calls for not only coordinated action at the national level but also a harmonized approach at the regional level. The Minister of Education (MoE) recently issued a directive for the resumption of all academic activities in all government, private, and non-governmental schools, and higher education institutions where security conditions permit, following months’ full closure of education institutions throughout the country. As requested by the MoE to support school reopening, education partners, including UNESCO, are seeking ways to ensure access and equity to safe education, and alternative learning options for learners, especially IDPs, to mitigate learning deficits and ensure continuity of learning. A key member of the Local Education Group (LEG) in Sudan, UNESCO Khartoum leads critical education portfolios and works closely with key national stakeholders as well as development and humanitarian partners to make sure learning continues under all circumstances. In addition to leading technical fields, UNESCO has recently taken on board the role of LEG Coordinating Agency in the framework of GPE, whereby the organization has been entrusted with strengthening the coordination of education actors through the identification of emergency priorities and harmonizing donor financing around them. In the last meeting of the LEG, held on November 27, 2023, it was agreed among members to develop a Transitional Education Plan for the period 2024 to 2026 (TEP 2024-26). II. Principles: For the process of TEP development to be meaningful and achieve its objectives, a series of principles need to be followed: LEG-led: The educational plan is considered a LEG instrument and a common framework for partner activities and activities supported by the national and state-level Ministry of Education with the participation of development and humanitarian partners. It is also considered a means of adapting to the emergency and early recovery of educational activities by identifying strategies that address the direct and urgent needs of the education sector. Therefore, the responsibility for its success depends on the participation of all concerned. While the planned interventions will require close cooperation between international and education experts, it will be necessary to ensure The Ministry of Education remains in consultation throughout the educational development process. Participatory: The plan is developed through a fully participatory process, to ensure that all LEG members and relevant ministries are consulted and engaged with all stakeholders (such as education partners, civil society, teachers’ unions, development and implementation partners, and humanitarian partners) and their views are considered. Transparency & mutual accountability: Transparency and mutual accountability are a central issue that is enhanced through the distribution of roles and responsibilities among key supporters and the efficient use of available resources. Transparency increases the ability of partners to hold each other accountable for their commitments, which improves performance and ensures successful implementation. Well-organized: The participatory planning process requires that it be well-organized and supported clearly by an organizational structure for the plan preparation process, and detailed clarification on the roles and responsibilities of the actors, especially the actors who lead and coordinate the process. III. TEP development governance structure: (To be agreed upon later) Led by the LEG, Organized and managed by the CA, UNESCO. 2 International experts, provided by UNESCO. 1 National expert, provided by UNESCO. 1 International expert, provided by UNHCR. IV. Scope of Work: TEP development in main steps: The Transitional Education Plan will identify strategic priorities and key educational objectives over the coming years (2024-2026). An approach will be adopted to ensure that the basic and urgent educational needs of all learners in Sudan, including girls, boys, and children with disabilities, are met. Attention will also be paid to gender issues, the social support program, humanitarian needs, peacebuilding, and development needs, to respond appropriately to the emergency while considering emerging needs. The plan will be developed through a series of steps detailed below, each step of which corresponds to a chapter of the final TEP document. Determining the implementation cost implications and expected financial constraints will also require back-and-forth adjustments until a practical and feasible mix of strategic programs and objectives are agreed upon by all partners and stakeholders. Phase 0: Preparation and roadmap development This phase consists of mobilization and consultations with the Ministry of Education, development and humanitarian partners, and education experts to agree on the structure of the process and develop the terms of reference, conceptual details, detailed roadmap, checklist of data needs, workshops schedule, and roles and responsibilities and the organizational structure. Phase 1: Education situation analysis This phase will be done by reviewing documents, evidence, and indicators to determine the capabilities and performance of the education system at a specific time (Baseline will be agreed upon later) and the external factors that directly affected the continuity of the education performance. It will also include the analysis of the impact of the conflict on education, macroeconomic status, demographic and educational data, human resources data, displaced and refugee data, and gender-related issues, and identify enabling factors, and challenges while highlighting potential directions and priorities for the next phase. Phase 2: Design priorities and key strategies. This phase consists of identifying and ranking immediate and urgent priorities, based on consultations and challenges identified through consulting meetings and workshops as well as from existing national policies and international commitments, operational capabilities, and available resources. They will be formulated as priorities and main strategies that will contribute to the continuity of education in emergencies and pave the way for long-term goals, after they are agreed upon by LEG members to be included within the TEP. Phase 3: Strategic program and activity Design. Once the priorities, Key strategies, and objectives are agreed upon, specific strategic programs are designed to achieve the objectives. These programs include an indication of the specific objectives, indicators, and expected outputs, specifying the size of the required inputs, and the main activities that must be completed while clarifying the most important issues, which are the roles and responsibilities of the parties concerned in each activity. Phase 4: Plan costing and financing framework. This phase includes developing a cost and financing framework to ensure that funds and resources are appropriately allocated and available for all planned activities. More specifically, financial costing and models will be used, and a financial simulation model will be developed to help achieve an optimal scenario with any financial gap. Phase 5: implementation framework To activate the plan, it will be translated into an operational plan throughout the implementation of TEP 2024-2026, Identify the risks of TEP implementation, address the obstacles and weaknesses of the key capacity, and propose a capacity development to be adopted to support the implementation. Phase 6: Design the Monitoring, Evaluation and Learning Framework (MEL) In this phase, it is ensured that the plan is moving in the right direction to achieve its goals before, during, and after implementation while ensuring regular monitoring at its various levels according to evidence that includes all stages and levels. For this purpose, a MEL framework will be developed that includes a matrix for presenting monitoring and evaluation results, and a matrix for clarifying key performance indicators (KPIs); In addition to details of the Monitoring, Evaluation, and Learning (MEL) framework. V. TEP 2024-2026 development modalities and timeline: Working modalities: National/states consultations In line with the principles identified above, the development of the Transitional Education Plan will rely largely on working sessions, consultations, and technical discussions via face-to-face meetings (workshops to discuss the different stages/steps of work), in addition to an indispensable series of consultations with the GPE/focal point and national experts. Some technical workshops may be held outside Sudan (described below) and will include stakeholders, donors, development and humanitarian partners, and representatives of civil society organizations, in addition to consultations at the level of all states of Sudan. Clear instructions and tools will be developed to collect the required data and information and determine the urgent priorities, which will be distributed to the groups of participants before their participation in the consultation workshops to give them sufficient time to prepare their responses. To achieve that, (4) consultative meetings at the level of partners and stakeholders are envisaged, and (3) consultative meetings at the national and state levels (Detailed activities are shown in Annex A) Remote support and workshops outside of Sudan A significant amount of support will be provided between remote and face-to-face consultations and workshops, to ensure continued progress in identifying priorities and developing TEP document, it is proposed to conduct two workshops outside Sudan as follows: - A 3-day workshop to formulate and endorse the design, strategic programs and planning for the TEP based on the priorities identified. - A one-day workshop to endorse the complete TEP document In addition to the consultative meetings with the local education group, the number of which is 4 divided into the phases of work. Timeline: After enriching and discussing the draft document and integrating all notes, a validated draft of TEP will be available by the end of April 2024, to be submitted to GPE, organize a donor conference, and mobilize resources and support. Under the proposed timeline, TEP will be developed over a 3 to 5 months period starting December 2023 and ending in April 2024. However, it is recognized that unpredictable situations could affect the ability of some tasks to be carried out throughout the consultancy. A draft of TEP priorities will be available by February 2024, which means the rest of the time will mainly be related to the appraisal and endorsement process and finalizing the implementation and monitoring frameworks. Results Framework for this project: Outcome 1: Sudan Education System Enhanced in planning and monitoring in Emergencies. Output 1: Sudan has developed a Transitional Education Plan for 2024 - 26 in close consultation with LEG members.

Without the capacity to adapt to rapid technological advancements, including artificial intelligence (AI), media institutions risk obsolescence, threatening the very foundations of independence, pluralism and viability. While larger media organizations are rapidly adopting digital technologies, many small and medium-sized outlets lack the capacity or resources to do so, which widens structural disparities within the media landscape. The programme described in this work plan will strengthen the digital and AI competencies of media institutions of all types and sizes, ensuring they continue informing and connecting communities effectively and maintain their competitive edge in the AI era. It integrates a variety of initiatives to support the media in the areas of leadership strategy, ethical AI governance, and staff competencies to move media organizations from passive awareness of the AI evolution and ad hoc use to active agency. This approach anchors growth in the durable principles of editorial independence and transparency. Implementation focuses on equitable access to and effective use of digital and AI tools, leadership capacity, robust internal policies and governance frameworks, and context-sensitive partnerships.Contributions to the Regular ProgrammePlanned start date of the activityDate prévue de début de l'activitéUnited Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO)Core Data Portal Focal Pointcore@unesco.orgSECTOR OF COMMUNICATION AND INFORMATIONXM-DAC-41304-A210661071United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO)Organisation des Nations unies pour l'éducation, la science et la culture (UNESCO)Pluralistic and independent media are essential to democracy, the rule of law, and the realization of the Sustainable Development Goals. This Workplan is dedicated to the promotion of media pluralism and diversity — fostering a creation of a media landscape where multiple voices, formats, and ownership models can thrive. Central to this are public service media, which serve the information needs of all citizens, and community media, which inform and empower local communities, reflecting the identities, languages, and concerns that mainstream media too often overlook. Together, they form the cornerstone of an inclusive and resilient information environment. The programme described in this Workplan will build the capacity of media organizations to adopt policies and practices promoting pluralism and diversity, including gender responsible approaches.

Their significance lies not only in their fundamental role in nurturing students' learning capabilities but also in their profound understanding of education systems' inner workings and the implementation of educational policies. Yet, in numerous Caribbean Small Island Developing States (SIDS), the pursuit of quality education is impeded by a dire shortage of teachers. These regions grapple with the challenge of attracting and retaining qualified teaching personnel, rendering their education systems ill-equipped to support effective teaching in the classroom and teachers to strategically plan their professional development initiatives. This workplan aims to strengthen teacher standards, competencies, and capacities for effective response to students diverse and emerging learning needs, including in technology and 21th Century Skills, fostering resilience in education and improving learning outcomes.Contributions to the Regular ProgrammePlanned start date of the activityDate prévue de début de l'activitéUnited Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO)Core Data Portal Focal Pointcore@unesco.orgEDUCATION SECTORXM-DAC-41304-A210182061United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO)Organisation des Nations unies pour l'éducation, la science et la culture (UNESCO)Insecurity, extreme poverty, inequalities, rapid population growth, and climate change continue to drive high levels of vulnerability across West Africa. Escalating violence and insecurity have caused mass displacements, pushing school closures to historic highs with over 14,800 schools shut down in West and Central Africa, directly disrupting the education of more than 3 million children. Being deprived of a safe learning environment inflicts profound, long-term trauma on children and youth, severely impacting their mental health, psychosocial well-being, and physical safety. Beyond the immediate loss of learning, prolonged exclusion from quality education exponentially heightens their exposure to protection risks, including recruitment by armed groups, child labor, physical violence, and sexual exploitation. This educational crisis is further amplified by expanding climate change-induced disasters and impacts, such as heatwaves, flooding and droughts, which physically destroy school infrastructure, displace communities, and repeatedly interrupt school calendars and access. Against this background, UNESCO will support countries in increasing access to quality education and learning opportunities from early childhood to higher education, for vulnerable children and youth living in crisis-affected contexts, and in fostering the resilience of education systems. In the course of last biennium, efforts were undertaken to strengthen the capacities of education actors in formulating strategies for reinforcing the preparedness and response to emergencies and crisis situations of education systems.Contributions to the Regular ProgrammePlanned start date of the activityDate prévue de début de l'activitéUnited Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO)Core Data Portal Focal Pointcore@unesco.orgEDUCATION SECTORXM-DAC-41304-A210182071United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO)Organisation des Nations unies pour l'éducation, la science et la culture (UNESCO)During the next biennium, we propose to strengthen education system preparedness and recovery capacities in crisis-affected contexts across Cameroon, the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), and the Central African Republic (CAR). This will involve assessing the impact of conflicts and displacement on education delivery, reinforcing the resilience of learning systems, and ensuring continuity of quality teaching and learning for crisis-affected populations — particularly internally displaced persons (IDPs), refugees, out-of-school children and youth, and host communities.

In Pacific SIDS, scientific research plays a critical role in addressing climate change, disaster risk, and sustainable development. However, researchers often face structural constraints, limited institutional safeguards, and vulnerabilities linked to small-scale systems and exposure to crises. Through an intersectoral approach between Social and Human Sciences (SHS) and Natural Sciences sectors, the initiative will support the implementation of UNESCO’s Recommendation on Science and Scientific Researchers and the Call to Action on the Safety of Scientific Researchers. It will strengthen enabling environments for safe, independent, and inclusive research, promote trust in science, and ensure the continuity of scientific work during emergencies. The rationale is to address gaps in policy frameworks, institutional capacity, and public awareness regarding scientific freedom and researcher safety. Without adequate protections, research systems risk weakening innovation, evidence-based policymaking, and resilience.

Since ratifying the Convention on 11 December 2006, Namibia has consistently submitted its Quadrennial Periodic Reports (QPRs), demonstrating sustained commitment to monitoring and reporting on implementation progress. However, the convention requires civil society involvement to overcome issues related to policies and creative industry as a contributor to the country’s economic development. Support the implementation of a strategic objectives on strengthening the capacity, skills, and professionalisation of cultural and creative practitioners as part of the Action Plan derived from the Namibia Cultural and Creative Industries Strategy and activities aligned to the National Development Plan 6 (NDP 6). The proposed intervention will further complement ongoing efforts under the pilot project “Entrepreneurship for Sustainable Heritage Development of Local Communities in Namibia”, implemented within the broader UNESCO regional initiative “Creating a Sustainable Heritage Ecosystem for Socioeconomic Development in Africa.” Together, these initiatives aim to foster cultural entrepreneurship, stimulate inclusive economic growth, and improve livelihoods, particularly for communities linked to heritage resources. In parallel, the implementation of the UNESCO Culture|2030 Indicators will provide an evidence-based framework to assess and demonstrate the contribution of culture to the economic, social, and environmental dimensions of sustainable development. This data-driven approach will strengthen policy coherence, accountability, and advocacy for culture as a development enabler. Therefore, ongoing awareness-raising activities will support structured public discussions and policy dialogues on the role of the cultural and creative industries as drivers of economic development, social cohesion, and social transformation. Within this framework, the annual celebration of International Jazz Day will serve as a strategic platform to highlight jazz as an educational tool and a powerful vehicle for intercultural dialogue, freedom of expression, and mutual understanding. Key activities - Support activities related to the development and implementation of the Namibia Cultural and Creative Industries Strategy. - Provide support towards entrepreneurship for sustainable heritage development of local communities (through entrepreneurship training, hackathons across key creative industry subsectors). - Raise awareness through public discussions with the Ministry of Education, Innovation, Youth, Sports, Arts and Culture and partners to highlight cultural and creative industries as a driver for economic development. - Organize International Jazz Day celebrations, using the platform to promote intercultural dialogue, freedom of expression, and youth participation.Contributions to the Regular ProgrammePlanned start date of the activityDate prévue de début de l'activitéUnited Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO)Core Data Portal Focal Pointcore@unesco.orgSECTOR FOR CULTUREXM-DAC-41304-A210642131United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO)Organisation des Nations unies pour l'éducation, la science et la culture (UNESCO)Ghana has a legal and policy framework that supports freedom of expression and the safety of journalists. However, despite the relatively conducive environment in which the media operate, freedom of expression is still infringed upon by state and non-state actors, including members of security agencies. Over the years, UNESCO has worked to improve freedom of expression and the safety of journalists by training members of the judiciary and security agencies, and by establishing a national monitoring mechanism for journalists’ safety. Together with partners, UNESCO will implement a range of activities along the Plan's "three Ps" (prevention, protection and prosecution) through: - awareness-raising - monitoring and reporting - capacity building and partnership building - supporting mechanisms for the safety of journalists - addressing the specific risks faced by women journalists, compounded by technology-facilitated gender-based violence in an era of generative AI These activities will directly contribute to Outcome 5.1, on freedom of expression and the safety of journalists.Contributions to the Regular ProgrammePlanned start date of the activityDate prévue de début de l'activitéUnited Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO)Core Data Portal Focal Pointcore@unesco.orgSECTOR OF COMMUNICATION AND INFORMATIONXM-DAC-41304-A210644101United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO)Organisation des Nations unies pour l'éducation, la science et la culture (UNESCO)Technology-facilitated gender-based violence (TFGBV) is an emerging threat to freedom of expression, journalist safety and gender equality in Bangladesh’s digital public sphere.

The strategy envisages a transformed society by 2035, where AI will advance the potential of our people, government, businesses and systems, achieving inclusive social and economic transformation. Central to the implementation of the AI strategy is the role of civil servants in delivering essential services that protect public goods, human rights, and socio-economic development. While AI and digital technologies can improve government operations, they also introduce risks relating to bias, transparency and ethics. This makes the use of human rights-based AI essential for sustaining public trust and development.

However, realizing these benefits requires robust governance frameworks, institutional capacities and safeguards to ensure that AI systems are developed and deployed in a manner that is ethical, transparent, accountable and aligned with human rights principles. Following the completion of UNESCO’s AI Readiness Assessment Methodology (RAM) in Bangladesh, important gaps have been identified in policy implementation, legal preparedness, institutional capacity and governance mechanisms required for responsible AI adoption. This project aims to support Bangladesh in translating AI readiness into implementation by strengthening AI governance capacities, advancing AI policy development and enhancing institutional preparedness across the public sector and judiciary. Drawing on UNESCO’s Recommendation on the Ethics of Artificial Intelligence, the AI and Rule of Law Programme, the Data Governance in the Digital Age initiative and the SPARK-AI Alliance, the project will strengthen capacities to develop and implement inclusive, human rights-based AI governance frameworks and digital transformation policies. It is expected that, based on the project outcomes, Bangladesh will be better positioned to operationalize key recommendations emerging from the AI RAM process, strengthen governance and oversight mechanisms for AI, improve data governance capacities, and enhance the ability of public institutions to design, regulate and oversee AI systems responsibly.

This monitoring serves as the compass guiding the region's journey towards sustainable development, offering insights into both the strides made and the hurdles faced along the way. However, effective and accurate monitoring of the SDGs demands a concerted effort at the local level. There's a mounting call for more comprehensive statistics delivered in a timely manner and with greater accessibility, particularly microdata. This demand reflects a growing recognition of the critical role data plays in informed decision-making and policy formulation. Yet, the path to robust monitoring is not without its challenges. Chief among these challenges is the availability and quality of data. While many Caribbean countries have made commendable progress in data collection and reporting, persistent gaps and inconsistencies persist. These shortcomings are exacerbated by the small size of Caribbean nations, which limits the level of disaggregation needed for certain indicators. Addressing the challenges of SDG monitoring in the Caribbean requires a multifaceted approach that combines technical expertise, institutional support, and cross-sectoral collaboration. This workplan aims to strengthening capacities of ministries of education staff to effectively the relevance, use and report on education data to better inform policy making and planning.Contributions to the Regular ProgrammePlanned start date of the activityDate prévue de début de l'activitéUnited Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO)Core Data Portal Focal Pointcore@unesco.orgEDUCATION SECTOR3449.733449.73XM-DAC-41304-3210175051United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO)Organisation des Nations unies pour l'éducation, la science et la culture (UNESCO)ED-USSA PA P3 in Havana OP7Contributions to the Regular ProgrammePlanned start date of the activityDate prévue de début de l'activitéUnited Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO)Core Data Portal Focal Pointcore@unesco.orgEDUCATION SECTOR3265.482506.622506.623265.48XM-DAC-41304-3210181012United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO)Organisation des Nations unies pour l'éducation, la science et la culture (UNESCO)National policies and programmes are enhanced to leverage digital technologies, including AI, to promote equitable access to learning opportunities, improve teaching and learning, and develop digital competencies while safeguarding human rights and human agency.

Open solutions—including Open Access, Open Data, Free and Open Source Software, and related public-interest digital resources—help strengthen transparency, accountability, public participation, and knowledge sharing. However, persistent challenges such as unequal access to digital infrastructure, limited institutional capacities, fragmented policy environments, and barriers to participation continue to restrict the benefits for many communities. UNESCO is uniquely positioned to address these challenges by supporting Member States in developing policies and capacity building that promote open, interoperable, and trustworthy digital public goods. By advancing Open Solutions, the initiative contributes to more inclusive, accessible, and sustainable information ecosystems that support access to knowledge, innovation, and public-interest outcomes. Implementation Strategy UNESCO will implement the initiative through policy support, technical assistance, capacity development, and multistakeholder cooperation to advance Open Solutions and digital public goods. The programme will provide guidance to Member States on developing and strengthening Open Access and Open Data policies that enhance transparency, accountability, interoperability, and public participation. Capacity-building activities will support institutions and stakeholders strengthening data stewardship practices, and developing the skills needed to manage and sustain open digital ecosystems, with a focus for learning and research. These activiites will promote frameworks for digital public goods, facilitate knowledge exchange, and support the development of interoperable and publicly accessible digital infrastructures. UNESCO will also convene governments, technical communities, civil society, and development partners to foster cooperation, share good practices, and strengthen the role of Open Solutions in advancing inclusive and sustainable development.Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd.Planned start date of the activityDate prévue de début de l'activitéUnited Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO)Core Data Portal Focal Pointcore@unesco.orgSECTOR OF COMMUNICATION AND INFORMATION12014.4512014.4512930.05XM-DAC-41304-3210651082United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO)Organisation des Nations unies pour l'éducation, la science et la culture (UNESCO)Media and Information Literacy (MIL) and digital competencies for all is urgent to empower citizens of all ages to adopt a critical mindset when engaging with information, digital technologies, including AI, and media.

These include the influx of Nigerian refugees in the Far North region and internal displacement due to Boko Haram since 2014, the influx of Central African refugees in the East and Adamawa regions since 2012, the socio-political crisis in the North-West and South-West regions since 2017 and the impact of the health crisis linked to the COVID-19 pandemic. According to the 2021 Humanitarian Needs Overview (data used during project design in 2021), approximately 4.4 million people required emergency assistance. In the area of education, access of 1.9 million school-aged girls and boys to education is hindered due to the crises, despite joint efforts by government and her partners. Given this situation and after the visit of Education Cannot Wait (ECW) in Cameroon in June 2021, Cameroon was approved to benefit from a Multi-Year Resilience Program (MYRP) seed fund of 25 million USD. These funds aimed to strengthen the response to existing gaps and improve the resilience of affected communities, through focus on a humanitarian-development-peace nexus approach. The MYRP is a multi-sectoral intervention in selected municipalities affected by various crisis, to enhance access to quality inclusive education for school aged boys and girls. The overarching objective is to provide an integrated and holistic support package to promote continuous and inclusive access to quality, safe education and protective environment for children and adolescents of school age affected by the different crises in Cameroon. It strategically opts for the communal approach, to develop and give visibility to ‘model municipalities where access to formal and vocational education, learning, protection, and education governance are enhanced through a multi-sectoral convergent approach. The MYRP aims at building the resilience of the Education and Vocational sector in Cameroon by acting on the wellbeing of pupils/students, teachers, and parents in communities, and by addressing the important emergency related bottlenecks as well as the structural challenges that negatively affect access to quality education for the most vulnerable children in Cameroon. To advance gender equality and ensure that girls and boys affected by the multiple crises across Cameroon are able to receive an education in a safe, protective, healthy and inclusive environment, the MYRP recognizes that a dual approach is needed, ensuring that gender is effectively mainstreamed across the consortium’s interventions but also that gender targeted interventions are reaching the differentiated needs of girls in accessing education and realizing their full potential. The Consortium will ensure that interventions take a rights-based and girl-centered approach, promoting their voices, adapting and responding to their needs.

Globally, there has been a rallying of global efforts towards attaining the Sustainable Development Goals by 2030 with a growing recognition of the central role of education in achieving all the 17 SDGs. Within this context, in the Transforming Education Summit (TES) held in 2022, six Calls to Action were issued, among which is the Greening Education Partnership (GEP) - Getting Every Learner Climate Ready. Greening Education Partnership is structured around four key pillars of transformative education- Greening schools, Greening curriculum, Greening teacher training and education systems’ capacities, and Greening communities. These interventions are rooted in UNESCO’s longstanding work in Education for Sustainable Development (ESD), with a particular focus on education's role in tackling climate change, UNESCO aims to equip individuals and communities, with the skills, values, and attitudes for shaping green, low-emission, and climate-resilient societies.

This transformative potential extends to enhancing the quality and relevance of learning experiences, fostering inclusivity, and fortifying educational administration and governance. Despite decades of education policy focus in Caribbean SIDS on improving the quality and computerization of education data, as well as fostering evidence-based decision-making cultures, significant challenges persist. Many countries in the region find themselves with Educational Management Information Systems (EMIS) that lack intentional design, instead comprising a patchwork of loosely connected applications and platforms—some digitized, others manual—resulting from disparate projects or initiatives. Furthermore, the prevailing trend of siloed development within education systems has led to fragmented information systems, hindering cohesive data management and utilization efforts. (OREALC/UNESCO Santiago, 2021). Amidst the evolving landscape of the Caribbean, technological advancements mirror global progress, ushering in a realm of possibilities and obstacles for education in the area. The integration of technology holds the key to metamorphosing Caribbean classrooms into dynamic hubs of learning, characterized by interactivity, personalization, and engagement. By embracing tech-driven teaching methodologies, students can be empowered, their perspectives broadened, and their readiness for the digital age fortified. Nevertheless, surmounting challenges such as infrastructural limitations, fostering digital literacy, and providing continuous support for educators are indispensable for unlocking the full potential of technology in Caribbean education. This workplan aims to Strengthen Education systems governance and management leveraging on existing digital solutions and tools to better inform national policies and curricula, while cultivating more inclusive, efficient, and pertinent educational experiences.Contributions to the Regular ProgrammePlanned start date of the activityDate prévue de début de l'activitéUnited Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO)Core Data Portal Focal Pointcore@unesco.orgEDUCATION SECTORXM-DAC-41304-2210141032United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO)Organisation des Nations unies pour l'éducation, la science et la culture (UNESCO)This workplan primarily focuses on the advancement and implementation of the Global Convention for the Recognition of Qualifications concerning Higher Education.

UNESCO will also leverage interdisciplinary expertise to strengthen links between anti-racism, gender-based discrimination, ableism, climate justice, environmental inequalities and emerging challenges such as bias in artificial intelligence systems. Recognizing that racism is rooted in historical and structural inequalities, the UNESCO Dialogues for Reparatory Justice will remain an important vehicle for tackling the root causes of racism and discrimination and promoting reflection on recognition, accountability, healing and repair. By acting across normative and standard-setting work, research and data, capacity-building, advocacy, coalition-building and public engagement, UNESCO will continue to strengthen its leadership within the global community and drive coordinated action toward more just, equitable, inclusive and resilient societies.FinlandSanofiFuture Food Institute ETS/Fondazione Future Food Institute ETSBA&SH SASPlanned start date of the activityDate prévue de début de l'activitéUnited Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO)Core Data Portal Focal Pointcore@unesco.orgSECTOR OF SOCIAL AND HUMAN SCIENCES50551.2535813.833774.0850551.2535813.833774.08XM-DAC-41304-2210411052United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO)Organisation des Nations unies pour l'éducation, la science et la culture (UNESCO)The programme prioritizes activities that deepen understanding of the history and lasting legacies of enslavement and the slave trade.

During this period, Daesh committed acts amounting to genocide, crimes against humanity and war crimes, including mass executions, forced religious conversions to Islam, enslavement and widespread sexual violence against women and girls. Daesh forcibly transferred thousands of captured Yazidis into Syria where girls as young as nine were subjected to sexual slavery and Yazidi boys as young as seven were coerced into military training and deployed in combat and suicide operations. The Yazidi community in Iraq continues to bear the deep scars of the Islamic State’s occupation, during which both lives and cultural identity were targeted through the destruction of shrines, sacred artifacts and traditions. In response, UNESCO Iraq, in collaboration with the Nadia Initiative and the Lalish Cultural Centre, is stepping up its efforts to inventory Yazidi intangible cultural heritage (ICH). Building on a 2023 survey of 97 shrines and 88 related practices, the current project focuses on documenting the non-religious aspects of Yazidi ICH, with the aim of creating a searchable online database that is accessible to the community, particularly young people. The outcomes will include strengthened identity, continuity and social cohesion, and the activities will focus on research, documentation and digital tools to safeguard and revitalise Yazidi heritage. The project aims to safeguard and promote the Intangible Cultural Heritage (ICH) of the Yazidi community by strengthening local capacities for community-based inventorying and documentation. Through systematic training, participatory workshops, and mentoring by international experts, 34 field team members and 9 representatives of the Yazidi community will develop the skills required to identify, document, and manage Yazidi ICH. It is envisaged thatmore than 150 ICH elements will be inventoried and validated through community engagement and intergenerational participation, with at least 25 young people actively contributing to the process. The project will result in a comprehensive digital database, a finalised, quality-assured inventory of ICH and a published volume showcasing documented Yazidi cultural expressions. The framework also ensures continuous monitoring, quality assurance and stakeholder involvement, thereby fostering social cohesion, strengthening cultural identity, and supporting the transmission of heritage knowledge to younger generations.JapanPlanned start date of the activityDate prévue de début de l'activitéUnited Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO)Core Data Portal Focal Pointcore@unesco.orgSECTOR FOR CULTURE143483.0055113.00XM-DAC-41304-537LEB2000United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO)Organisation des Nations unies pour l'éducation, la science et la culture (UNESCO)Lebanon’s prolonged drought, degraded communal ponds (birkets), and weak routine O&M threaten irrigation, livelihoods, and hydraulic heritage in South Lebanon.

UNESCO is also the custodian of the archives of its precursor bodies, including the International Institute of Intellectual Cooperation (IICI) transferred in 1946 and included on the Memory of the World register in 2017, and the archives of the Conference of Allied Ministers of Education (CAME) and the Preparatory Commission for the Establishment of UNESCO. The institutional archives and precursor bodies archives reflect early ideas and discourses in international intellectual cooperation in the interwar and postwar periods on subjects ranging from education, natural sciences, cinema, art, literature, archaeology, translation, libraries and archives, and more. However, despite their historical value and importance in preserving the Organization’s institutional memory, only 5% of UNESCO’s archives are currently digitized. There is an underexploited treasure that needs to be digitized and made available to the public at large. The current 5-year project will digitize a substantial portion of UNESCO’s core archives to ensure they are more accessible, visible, and appropriately preserved over the long-term. The project aims to bring these archives to the attention of the public through digitized collections published on UNESCO platforms, exhibitions, publications and other initiatives, and to the scientific community to strengthen research, and thus knowledge, of the Organization's history. The archive digitization project is an integral part of the One-UNESCO Digital Transformation Framework and Modernization Roadmap to preserve and increase the value of UNESCO’s knowledge assets and institutional memory, in line with the United Nations Data Strategy and UN 2.0.United Arab EmiratesPlanned start date of the activityDate prévue de début de l'activitéUnited Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO)Core Data Portal Focal Pointcore@unesco.orgBUREAU FOR DIGITAL BUSINESS SOLUTIONS2714.291836498.341302808.281394109.951463869.142714.29262838.01XM-DAC-41304-560IRQ4000United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO)Organisation des Nations unies pour l'éducation, la science et la culture (UNESCO)The objective of the project is to foster reconciliation and social cohesion in Mosul and its Old Town, through the restoration and reconstruction of three iconic landmarks.

Its expected results and key achievement will contribute to the current and the upcoming Strategic Plan of the TTF. The first ever Global Report on Teachers, coauthored by the TTF and UNESCO and generously funded by the Hamdan Foundation, was launched in February 2024 at the Policy Dialogue Forum in Johannesburg, South Africa in February 2023. The event attracted more than 300 key education stakeholders from all over the world and over 300 online views. More than 300 copies were distributed on-site, with ample press coverage in Spanish, English, and French. Since its launch, the report has been consulted 7,610 times on the UNESCO digital library, viewed 2,200 times on the TTF Knowledge Hub, and downloaded 1,427 times. It has also been presented at numerous local, regional, and global events; notably the Global Gateway High-Level Education Event (Brussels), the AFTRA Conference (Zambia), and the G20 Education Working Group Meeting (Brazil). Plans for launching the forthcoming Chinese, Spanish, Portuguese, and Arabic editions through partnerships with TTF members are expected to significantly increase its outreach. The second edition of the Global Report on Teachers, scheduled for spring 2026, will continue to address pressing global issues affecting teachers and the teaching profession. Building on the previous report covering teacher shortages, examining their various dimensions and how to mitigate the factors leading to them, the 2026 report will cover a specific thematic issue to be agreed upon by the Teacher Task Force Steering Committee and UNESCO, relevant to the achievement of the SDG4.c, but it will not deal with monitoring progress towards its achievements. Using country data, new commissioned research and good practices, it will provide analysis and issue recommendations for the final years towards achieving the 2030 Agenda and the Target 4.c. The proposed thematic direction of this second edition will be discussed and validated through consultations with the TTF Secretariat, UNESCO TED section, and the upcoming TTF Editorial Board. To ensure its global relevance, the Global Report on Teachers 2026 will also seek alignment with key international platforms reshaping global education strategies and initiatives, including follow-up actions from the Transforming Education Summit and the Recommendations of the High-Level Panel on the Teaching Profession, alongside critical topics to be addressed during the Summit of the Future (2024) and the Summit for Social Development (2025). Alongside knowledge production, the TTF also undertakes knowledge monitoring and dissemination to ensure that relevant and up-to-date knowledge on teachers and teaching is available to inform the formulation and implementation of comprehensive teacher policies. Since 2020, the TTF Knowledge Platform is a flagship activity within these efforts. To fulfil its monitoring function, the platform currently comprises two knowledge repositories: the Policy Knowledge Hub and the Teacher Resource Centre. The Policy Knowledge Hub (having grown to more than 600 curated pieces by 2024) hosts reports, academic research, grey literature and other documents that help inform effective policy-making. Launched in 2023, the Teacher Resource Centre responds to the identified need to collect and disseminate resources for teachers, teacher educators and trainers themselves to support effective teaching. Beyond its monitoring function, the Knowledge Platform has proved to be a catalyser of policy learning, by providing permanent access to the body of knowledge generated by regional and thematic communities of practice. The number of national policy documents and related materials hosted in the repository substantially increased during the regional workshops in 2022 and 2023. Policy learning is further supported through technical materials hosted in the Teacher Resource Centre, such as teacher training modules to support the development of teacher competencies in line with stated policy objectives. As revealed by a user survey conducted in 2022, the support to policy learning was one of the platform’s most valued features. Building on this, the next phase in the development of the Knowledge Platform will focus on further tailoring the content of the repositories and the navigation functionalities to meet TTF policy learning needs.Hamdan bin Rashid Al Maktoum Foundation for Distinguished Academic PerformanceThe Hamdan Bin Rashid Al-Maktoum Foundation for Medical and Educational SciencesThe Hamdan Bin Rashid Al-Maktoum Award For Medical and Educational SciencesPlanned start date of the activityDate prévue de début de l'activitéUnited Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO)Core Data Portal Focal Pointcore@unesco.orgEDUCATION SECTOR19113.17436955.93393930.90436955.9319113.17301696.22XM-DAC-41304-570GLO1037United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO)Organisation des Nations unies pour l'éducation, la science et la culture (UNESCO)The Project aims to contribute to the transformation of education enabled by digital innovations and to enhancing the quality of education, in alignment with the objectives of the 2030 Education Agenda, through promoting creative thinking in educational settings.

The learners may study under the Myanmar Curriculum, but they do not yet have a sufficiently recognized, portable or externally meaningful record of learning achievement. This absence is especially problematic at secondary levels, where learners and families are more likely to question the value of continued education if completion does not lead to recognized progression. This weakens motivation and may contribute to dropout, child labour, early marriage, recruitment risks and other negative coping strategies, with the greatest effects likely to fall on children and adolescents already facing heightened barriers to participation, protection and progression.

New forms of generative and adaptive technologies are already influencing how students access information, how teachers design learning experiences, and how governments consider the governance of digital technologies in schools and universities. While the emergence of artificial intelligence offers significant opportunities to support teaching and learning, it also raises complex policy questions related to ethics, governance, inclusion, and the equitable design of technologies. Governments in Latin America and the Caribbean are increasingly seeking trusted multilateral platforms capable of generating evidence, supporting integrated policy development, and mobilizing the investments and reforms necessary to ensure that digital transformation in education serves all learners — especially those at greatest risk of being left behind. In this context, UNESCO Santiago is leading the establishment of the Regional Observatory on Artificial Intelligence in Education in Latin America and the Caribbean. This strategic initiative will serve as a multi-actor platform to generate evidence on the use of AI in education, formulate evidence-based policy recommendations on responsible use of AI, develop technical and pedagogical capacities among key actors (teachers, administrators, policymakers and students) and maintain a regional technical dialogue that strengthens the generation of AI knowledge from and for our region.

On the technical side warning systems depend on linking together a large number of national geophysical observations in a regional data network where observations flow in real time to designated regional Tsunami Service providers (TSPs) and National Tsunami Warning Centers (NTWC). IOC provides intergovernmental coordination for development and harmonization of regional Tsunami Warning Systems in accordance with mandate adopted at 23rd IOC Assembly (2005). IOC provides assistance for countries to develop their National Tsunami Warning Centers within a multi-hazard framework and for maximizing community response through creation of education and awareness. Within the context of the Ocean Decade Tsunami Programme (ODTP) the Tsunami Programme is geared to achieve by 2030: 1) detect and alert tsunamis within 10 minutes of the origin time and 2) recognize as Tsunami Rady 100% of communities at risk.United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern IrelandPlanned start date of the activityDate prévue de début de l'activitéUnited Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO)Core Data Portal Focal Pointcore@unesco.orgSECRETARIAT INTGOV.

Yet, they can be vulnerable to the very disruptions they are relied upon to report, and can fulfil this mission effectively only when they have the right strategies, capacities, and tools at their disposal. Strengthening media institutions and their personnel to be more prepared and resilient is therefore essential, not only for their own continuity, but for the communities that depend on them for accessing reliable information and voicing their needs, particularly in times of crisis. Through a multifaceted approach, the programme described in this work plan will provide strategic guidance and technical support to media institutions to reinforce their capacities and practices for reporting on climate change and natural hazards and for disaster preparedness and response. As societal actors, media institutions will have stronger editorial capacities and technological capabilities to address these topics as a core part of their public interest mandate. As organizations, they will also establish robust internal policies and frameworks to prepare for and respond to disasters. As a result, Member States will be supported in their efforts for climate change adaptation and mitigation and disaster preparedness and response. With enhanced access to reliable media content throughout the disaster management cycle, from prevention and preparedness to response and recovery, people, particularly the most vulnerable, will be better equipped to make informed decisions and build greater resilience in the face of the increasing extreme weather events and disasters.Contributions to the Regular ProgrammePlanned start date of the activityDate prévue de début de l'activitéUnited Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO)Core Data Portal Focal Pointcore@unesco.orgSECTOR OF COMMUNICATION AND INFORMATIONXM-DAC-41304-A210611041United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO)Organisation des Nations unies pour l'éducation, la science et la culture (UNESCO)UNESCO will support memory institutions in adopting and implementing emergency preparedness plans in line with the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction and the 2015 Recommendation concerning the Preservation of, and Access to, Documentary Heritage Including in Digital Form.

The engagement responds to the growing need to involve communities, particularly youth, in heritage conservation and sustainable development processes while supporting national priorities in tourism, culture, community participation, and youth empowerment. Tanzania is home to seven World Heritage Sites of outstanding universal value, including natural and cultural heritage sites that contribute significantly to national identity, biodiversity conservation, tourism development, and local livelihoods. However, many communities living around these sites, especially young people, continue to face limited opportunities to actively participate in heritage-related decision-making, sustainable tourism activities, and awareness programmes. At the same time, increasing pressures related to environmental degradation, limited awareness on conservation, and socio-economic challenges continue to affect the sustainability of heritage sites and the communities surrounding them. The engagement will build on and scale up previous UNESCO-supported activities that have demonstrated the important role of youth and communities in heritage conservation and sustainable development. It draws on lessons learned from the project implemented at the Kilimanjaro National Park World Heritage Site, which supported the establishment of Youth Conservation Ambassadors and strengthened youth engagement in conservation awareness, climate action, and community outreach. The engagement will also build synergies with the UNESCO–TUI Care Foundation partnership for sustainable tourism in Zanzibar, particularly the activities being implemented in and around the Stone Town of Zanzibar World Heritage Site. Through activities such as Youth Heritage Ambassadors and the “Sounds and Stories of Stone Town” programme, young people are being engaged in storytelling, cultural promotion, creative entrepreneurship, and heritage-based tourism development. By leveraging the experiences, networks, and good practices emerging from these activities, the engagement will further strengthen the capacity of youth to become champions of sustainable tourism, conservation, and community participation around World Heritage Sites in Tanzania, while promoting inclusive opportunities for local communities to benefit from responsible tourism development. The engagement seeks to strengthen awareness and participation of youth in sustainable tourism and conservation through capacity-building activities, dialogue platforms, storytelling approaches, and community engagement initiatives. Participants will be introduced to key concepts related to World Heritage, sustainable tourism, conservation, community participation, and responsible heritage promotion. The activities will further support youth-led awareness engagements aimed at promoting responsible tourism practices and conservation awareness within local communities. The engagement contributes to the implementation of the UNESCO World Heritage Convention by promoting awareness, community participation, and sustainable approaches to conservation and tourism development around World Heritage Sites. It also supports national priorities related to tourism promotion, youth empowerment, and the sustainable management of cultural and natural heritage resources.Contributions to the Regular ProgrammePlanned start date of the activityDate prévue de début de l'activitéUnited Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO)Core Data Portal Focal Pointcore@unesco.orgSECTOR FOR CULTUREXM-DAC-41304-A210522421United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO)Organisation des Nations unies pour l'éducation, la science et la culture (UNESCO)High-Level Roundtable with Ministries of CLT and ED on Integrating Living Heritage into Formal & Non-Formal Education Awareness Raising Event with local communities for the International Day of Intangible Cultural Heritage , in support of Ethiopian Heritage AuthorityContributions to the Regular ProgrammePlanned start date of the activityDate prévue de début de l'activitéUnited Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO)Core Data Portal Focal Pointcore@unesco.orgSECTOR FOR CULTUREXM-DAC-41304-A210522431United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO)Organisation des Nations unies pour l'éducation, la science et la culture (UNESCO)“Intergenerational Dialogue and Engagement of Youth and Women for Safeguarding Intangible Cultural Heritage in Tanzania” aims at strengthening awareness, participation, and knowledge transmission related to intangible cultural heritage among youth, women, and communities in Tanzania. The engagement responds to the growing need to safeguard living heritage practices, knowledge, expressions, and traditions that continue to play an important role in cultural identity, social cohesion, creativity, and community life. Tanzania is rich in intangible cultural heritage expressed through oral traditions, performing arts, social practices, rituals, traditional craftsmanship and knowledge, food traditions, and other cultural expressions practiced by communities across the country. However, rapid social transformation, urbanization, changing lifestyles, and limited awareness among younger generations continue to pose challenges to the transmission and safeguarding of intangible cultural heritage. In many communities, opportunities for interaction and knowledge-sharing between elders, practitioners, women, and youth are becoming increasingly limited, creating risks for the continuity and visibility of living heritage practices. The engagement will focus on promoting intergenerational dialogue and the active participation of youth and women as important approaches for safeguarding intangible cultural heritage. Through awareness-raising, dialogue sessions, storytelling activities, and learning engagements, the activities will create spaces for interaction between heritage practitioners, elders, cultural bearers, women, and young people to encourage the transmission of knowledge, skills, values, and cultural practices across generations. The engagement will also build on and complement ongoing UNESCO-supported activities related to intangible cultural heritage safeguarding, cultural awareness, youth and women participation, and community engagement. The engagement seeks to strengthen understanding of the importance of safeguarding intangible cultural heritage as a living and dynamic source of identity, diversity, creativity, and sustainable development.

Rapid technological change, including the growing influence of artificial intelligence and digital technologies, the transition towards greener and more sustainable economies, demographic shifts, changing labour markets and persistent social inequalities are creating both new opportunities and significant challenges for individuals, communities and countries. At the same time, many education and training systems struggle to keep pace with these changes, while millions of young people and adults continue to face barriers in accessing relevant learning opportunities and acquiring the skills needed for employment, entrepreneurship, active citizenship and lifelong personal development. In this context, UNESCO will support Member States in strengthening skills development systems that enable all learners to acquire, update and expand their knowledge, skills and competencies throughout life. Guided by a lifelong learning and rights-based approach, the project seeks to ensure that youth and adults have access to inclusive, equitable and quality learning opportunities that respond to their aspirations, the needs of labour markets and the broader demands of sustainable and peaceful societies. Particular attention will be given to women and girls, vulnerable and marginalized populations, countries in Africa, and Small Island Developing States. The project aims to strengthen national capacities to design and implement policies, strategies and programmes that improve access to skills development, promote lifelong learning opportunities and support successful transitions between learning and work. It will contribute to helping countries develop more resilient, inclusive and future-oriented systems that equip learners with the skills needed to thrive in rapidly changing economic, social and environmental contexts. The project will also support efforts to align skills development with national development priorities, including digital transformation, climate action, social inclusion and economic diversification. To achieve these objectives, UNESCO will work with governments, education and training institutions, employers, workers’ organizations, development partners and other stakeholders through three complementary areas of action. First, the project will generate evidence, research and policy guidance to strengthen decision-making and support reforms. This will include analytical studies, policy reviews, labour market and skills analyses, data collection and monitoring activities, as well as the development of practical guidance and tools for policymakers and practitioners. Particular attention will be given to identifying emerging skills needs, improving the understanding of labour market trends, strengthening qualifications systems and promoting the recognition of skills acquired through different learning experiences. Second, the project will support capacity development and technical assistance to strengthen national institutions and systems. UNESCO will assist countries in improving governance arrangements, developing and implementing policies, modernizing curricula and qualifications, strengthening teacher and trainer capacities, promoting innovative approaches to teaching and learning, and enhancing systems that facilitate access to learning opportunities throughout life. Support will also be provided to strengthen pathways between formal, non-formal and workplace learning, helping learners move more easily between different forms of education and training and obtain recognition for their skills and competencies. Third, the project will foster partnerships, policy dialogue and international cooperation to advance the global skills development agenda. UNESCO will mobilize networks of governments, development partners, private sector organizations, educational institutions and civil society to exchange knowledge, share promising practices and promote coordinated action.

This has led to increasing reliance on informal wastewater reuse for urban vegetable irrigation, particularly during dry seasons when freshwater is scarce. While these practices support livelihoods and urban food supply, they also pose significant public health risks, including the transmission of pathogens through irrigated produce. Current challenges include limited water quality monitoring, weak regulatory enforcement, and fragmented institutional coordination. There is therefore a need for targeted, low-cost interventions that generate evidence, reduce risk exposure, and strengthen governance within a resource-constrained context. Goal The goal of this activity is to support the Water Resources Commission (WRC) and key stakeholders in strengthening evidence-based water quality management and risk reduction for informal irrigation systems in selected hotspots within the Odaw Basin.Contributions to the Regular ProgrammePlanned start date of the activityDate prévue de début de l'activitéUnited Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO)Core Data Portal Focal Pointcore@unesco.orgNATURAL SCIENCES SECTORXM-DAC-41304-A210234131United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO)Organisation des Nations unies pour l'éducation, la science et la culture (UNESCO)UNESCO will strengthen the capacities of women professionals, practitioners, policymakers, researchers, and community representatives to advance inclusive and sustainable water resources management in Pakistan.

Ces défis sont de plus en plus complexes, interconnectés et transfrontaliers. Ils exigent des politiques publiques capables de mobiliser efficacement les connaissances scientifiques, les approches prospectives et les mécanismes de coopération régionale. Malgré les progrès réalisés dans le développement de la recherche scientifique, les mécanismes permettant d’intégrer les connaissances produites par les universités et centres de recherche dans les processus décisionnels demeurent encore insuffisamment développés dans de nombreux pays de la région. Les espaces institutionnalisés de dialogue entre chercheurs, décideurs publics et acteurs du développement restent limités, réduisant ainsi la capacité des gouvernements à élaborer des politiques fondées sur des données probantes. Par ailleurs, les défis régionaux liés à la cohésion sociale, aux migrations, aux transitions écologiques, à la sécurité humaine et à la gestion durable des ressources naturelles nécessitent le développement de nouvelles formes de coopération fondées sur la science. Dans ce contexte, la diplomatie scientifique apparaît comme un instrument stratégique permettant de mobiliser les connaissances scientifiques au service de la coopération régionale, du dialogue politique et de la prévention des crises. À travers le programme MOST, l’UNESCO accompagnera les États membres dans le développement de mécanismes innovants d’interface science-politique, de prospective stratégique et de diplomatie scientifique afin de renforcer la qualité des politiques publiques et de promouvoir des approches de développement fondées sur les connaissances. Cette initiative contribuera directement aux priorités du Programme MOST, à la mise en œuvre de l’Agenda 2030, de l’Agenda 2063 de l’Union africaine ainsi qu’au renforcement du multilatéralisme scientifique en Afrique de l’Ouest. Objectif général Renforcer la capacité des États membres à mobiliser les connaissances scientifiques, les approches prospectives et les outils de diplomatie scientifique dans l’élaboration des politiques publiques, la coopération régionale et la gouvernance des transformations sociales, environnementales et technologiques. Objectifs spécifiques 1. Renforcer les mécanismes nationaux d’interface science-politique dans les pays bénéficiaires ; 2. Développer les capacités des décideurs publics, chercheurs et acteurs du développement à utiliser les approches de prospective stratégique et de Futures Literacy ; 3.

Toutefois, les systèmes de recherche demeurent confrontés à de nombreux défis liés à la liberté académique, à la sécurité des chercheurs, à la mobilité scientifique, à l’insuffisance des financements de la recherche et à la faible représentation des femmes dans les domaines scientifiques et technologiques. Dans plusieurs pays d’Afrique de l’Ouest, les chercheurs font face à des contraintes institutionnelles, économiques ou sécuritaires qui limitent leur capacité à produire et diffuser librement les connaissances scientifiques. Ces contraintes affectent directement l’innovation, la qualité de l’enseignement supérieur, la compétitivité économique et la capacité des États à répondre efficacement aux défis contemporains. Parallèlement, malgré les progrès réalisés au cours des dernières décennies, les femmes restent fortement sous-représentées dans les filières STEM, dans les postes de direction scientifique et dans les instances de décision liées à la recherche et à l’innovation. Cette situation représente une perte importante de potentiel humain, économique et scientifique pour les pays de la région. Conformément à la Recommandation de l’UNESCO concernant la science et les chercheurs scientifiques (2017), au Programme sur la liberté et la sécurité des scientifiques et aux priorités du Rapport continental sur le rôle des femmes dans la science et l’innovation, le Bureau régional de l’UNESCO à Dakar mettra en œuvre une initiative régionale visant à renforcer les conditions d’exercice de la recherche scientifique, promouvoir la liberté académique et soutenir la participation des femmes dans les systèmes scientifiques. Cette initiative contribuera également à renforcer les liens entre recherche scientifique, gouvernance démocratique, innovation, développement économique et égalité de genre. Objectif général Renforcer les capacités des États membres et des parties prenantes à promouvoir un environnement favorable à la liberté de la recherche scientifique, à la sécurité des chercheurs et à l’égalité de genre dans les systèmes scientifiques. Objectifs spécifiques 1. Produire des connaissances et des données probantes sur l’état des libertés académiques et les conditions d’exercice de la recherche en Afrique de l’Ouest ; 2. Sensibiliser les décideurs publics, les universités et les organismes de recherche à l’importance de la liberté académique comme levier de développement économique, de gouvernance démocratique et d’innovation ; 3. Renforcer les capacités des États membres à développer des politiques favorables à la sécurité et à la liberté des chercheurs conformément à la Recommandation de 2017 ; 4. Promouvoir l’adoption de mesures favorisant la participation des femmes dans les domaines scientifiques et technologiques ; 5. Renforcer les capacités des femmes parlementaires à promouvoir des politiques publiques et des réformes législatives favorables à l’égalité de genre dans les secteurs de l’éducation, de la recherche et de l’innovation. Description détaillée de la mise en œuvre Le projet sera mis en œuvre à travers trois composantes complémentaires articulées autour des priorités du programme de l’UNESCO sur la liberté et la sécurité des scientifiques. Composante 1 Étude régionale sur les libertés académiques et le développement Une étude régionale sera conduite afin d’évaluer les conditions d’exercice de la recherche scientifique et les principaux défis liés à la liberté académique. L’étude s’appuiera sur les outils développés par l’UNESCO dans le cadre du Programme sur la liberté et la sécurité des scientifiques ainsi que sur la Recommandation de 2017 concernant la science et les chercheurs scientifiques. Les travaux porteront notamment sur : • la liberté académique ; • la sécurité des chercheurs ; • la mobilité scientifique ; • les conditions de financement de la recherche ; • les mécanismes de gouvernance universitaire ; • la participation des jeunes chercheurs ; • les liens entre libertés académiques, innovation, développement économique et gouvernance démocratique. L’étude donnera lieu à un rapport régional incluant des recommandations stratégiques pour l’élaboration de politiques publiques. Composante 2 Promotion du Rapport continental sur le rôle des femmes dans la science et l’innovation Le Bureau régional accompagnera la diffusion et l’appropriation du Rapport continental sur le rôle des femmes dans la science et l’innovation à travers l’organisation de dialogues nationaux de haut niveau en Guinée et en Côte d’Ivoire. Ces dialogues réuniront : • ministères sectoriels ; • universités ; • centres de recherche ; • organisations de femmes ; • secteur privé ; • partenaires techniques et financiers. Les consultations permettront d’identifier les obstacles à la participation des femmes dans les filières scientifiques et de définir des feuilles de route nationales visant à renforcer l’accès des filles et des femmes aux carrières scientifiques. Dialogue national Guinée Thématique : Femmes, innovation et développement scientifique Dialogue national Côte d’Ivoire Thématique : Investir dans les femmes scientifiques pour accélérer le développement Composante 3 Programme de renforcement des capacités des femmes parlementaires Le Bureau régional mettra en œuvre un programme destiné à renforcer les capacités des femmes parlementaires sénégalaises sur les enjeux liés à la liberté scientifique, l’égalité de genre et à l’innovation. Le programme contribuera à l’émergence d’un agenda législatif en faveur : • de la protection des libertés scientifiques • des carrières scientifiques féminines ; • de l’entrepreneuriat innovant ; • de la participation des femmes aux instances de gouvernance scientifique. Les activités comprendront : • une formation spécialisée ; • des sessions d’échanges avec des scientifiques africaines ; • l’élaboration d’une feuille de route parlementaire ; • la production d’outils de plaidoyer.

Dans plusieurs pays de la région, les jeunes représentent plus de 60 % de la population. Cette dynamique démographique constitue à la fois une opportunité majeure de développement et un défi important en matière d’emploi, d’inclusion sociale, de participation citoyenne et de cohésion sociale. Malgré leur potentiel d’innovation et leur capacité à proposer des solutions adaptées aux réalités locales, de nombreux jeunes entrepreneurs et innovateurs sociaux rencontrent des difficultés d’accès au financement, à l’accompagnement technique et aux réseaux professionnels nécessaires au développement de leurs initiatives. Les jeunes sont pourtant aujourd’hui au cœur des réponses aux grands défis contemporains : changement climatique, inclusion sociale, économie numérique, entrepreneuriat, gouvernance locale et cohésion communautaire. Dans le cadre de son engagement en faveur de l’autonomisation des jeunes, le Bureau régional de l’UNESCO à Dakar développera, en partenariat avec les associations jeunesses régionales, une nouvelle édition du programme Youth Grant for High Impact Social Innovation, destinée à identifier, accompagner et financer des initiatives innovantes portées par les jeunes. S’appuyant sur le succès de la première édition au Sénégal, au Bébin et en Côte d’Ivoire, le programme contribuera à promouvoir une culture d’innovation sociale, de leadership citoyen et d’entrepreneuriat responsable tout en renforçant les capacités des jeunes à participer activement au développement durable de leurs communautés. Objectif général Renforcer la capacité des jeunes à contribuer activement au développement durable, à l’innovation sociale et à la cohésion sociale dans leurs communautés. Objectifs spécifiques 1. Soutenir financièrement des projets innovants portés par les jeunes répondant à des défis sociaux, économiques et environnementaux. 2. Renforcer les capacités entrepreneuriales, techniques et de leadership des jeunes bénéficiaires. 3. Favoriser l’émergence d’un écosystème régional d’innovation sociale porté par les jeunes. 4. Promouvoir la participation citoyenne des jeunes et leur contribution à la réalisation des Objectifs de développement durable. 5. Encourager la participation des jeunes femmes aux initiatives d’innovation sociale. Description détaillée de la mise en œuvre Le programme sera mis en œuvre à travers quatre composantes complémentaires. Composante 1 Lancement et appel à projets dans les pays ciblés Un appel à candidatures sera lancé dans les pays bénéficiaires afin d’identifier des projets innovants portés par des jeunes âgés de 18 à 35 ans.

En 2026, Dakar accueillera la quatrième édition des JOJ d’été, marquant la première organisation de cet événement sur le continent africain. Cette édition historique représente une opportunité exceptionnelle pour promouvoir les valeurs olympiques, renforcer la participation des jeunes et accélérer les progrès vers les Objectifs de Développement Durable ainsi que les aspirations de l’Agenda 2063 de l’Union africaine. Malgré les avancées enregistrées ces dernières années, les violences basées sur le genre (VBG), les discriminations, les inégalités entre les sexes, le racisme et les différentes formes d’exclusion continuent d’affecter les jeunes dans les espaces sportifs et dans la société en général. Les filles et les jeunes femmes demeurent particulièrement exposées aux obstacles limitant leur participation au sport, tandis que les mécanismes de prévention, de signalement et de prise en charge des violences restent insuffisamment connus ou accessibles. Dans ce contexte, l’UNESCO, en partenariat avec l’ARDN, les agences des Nations Unies, les autorités nationales, les organisations sportives, les fédérations et les acteurs de la société civile, entend mettre en œuvre la Campagne Carton Rouge afin de faire des JOJ Dakar 2026 une plateforme de mobilisation en faveur de l’égalité de genre, du respect des droits humains et de la tolérance zéro face aux violences et aux discriminations. En utilisant le symbole universel du carton rouge dans le sport, la campagne vise à sensibiliser, mobiliser et engager les jeunes, les athlètes, les bénévoles, les organisateurs et le grand public autour d’une vision commune d’un sport sûr, inclusif et respectueux des droits de toutes et tous. Objectif général Contribuer à la promotion de l’égalité de genre, à la prévention des violences basées sur le genre et à la protection des droits humains dans le cadre des Jeux Olympiques de la Jeunesse Dakar 2026, à travers la mobilisation des jeunes, des acteurs sportifs et des institutions nationales.

Renforcer l’engagement des jeunes ambassadeurs et des acteurs sportifs dans les actions de plaidoyer en faveur d’un sport inclusif, sûr et respectueux des droits humains. Description de la mise en œuvre Le projet sera mis en œuvre à travers une approche intégrée combinant sensibilisation, prévention, protection, renforcement des capacités et plaidoyer. Une première phase sera consacrée à la préparation technique et institutionnelle de la campagne. Cette étape comprendra la mobilisation des partenaires, l’élaboration des outils de communication, la réalisation d’une analyse des risques liés aux violences, à l’exploitation et à la traite des personnes dans le contexte des JOJ, ainsi que la conception des mécanismes de prévention et de réponse. Une deuxième phase portera sur le renforcement des capacités des acteurs impliqués dans l’organisation des Jeux. Des sessions de formation seront organisées au profit des bénévoles, encadrants, athlètes, responsables sportifs, jeunes ambassadeurs et partenaires institutionnels afin de promouvoir les principes de protection, d’égalité de genre et de prévention des violences. Une troisième phase concernera le déploiement de la Campagne Carton Rouge sur les différents sites des JOJ. Des espaces dédiés appelés « Points Sûrs » seront installés dans le village olympique, les sites sportifs et les zones communautaires afin d’offrir des services d’information, d’écoute, d’orientation et de sensibilisation. Une quatrième phase sera consacrée à la mobilisation citoyenne, au plaidoyer et à la communication. Des campagnes médiatiques et numériques, des activités sportives éducatives, des rencontres avec des champions africains et la signature d’une Charte de tolérance zéro face aux VBG permettront d’amplifier la portée du message auprès du public.

Dans les pays du Sahel, ces technologies offrent des opportunités importantes pour améliorer la prestation des services publics, renforcer la résilience climatique, optimiser les systèmes éducatifs et soutenir les politiques de développement. Cependant, l'absence de cadres de gouvernance adaptés, la faiblesse des capacités institutionnelles et les risques liés aux biais algorithmiques, à la protection des données, à la désinformation ou à l'exclusion numérique pourraient accentuer les inégalités existantes. Le Mali, le Burkina Faso et le Niger ont engagé d'importantes réflexions sur la transformation numérique, mais disposent encore de capacités limitées pour intégrer les dimensions éthiques et les droits humains dans les futures politiques relatives à l'intelligence artificielle. À la suite de l’achèvement de la première phase du RAM (readiness assessment methodologyde) de l’UNESCO, le Ghana souhaite approfondir l’intégration des recommandations issues de l’évaluation dans la mise en œuvre de sa Stratégie nationale sur l’intelligence artificielle. Le projet vise à élaborer une feuille de route détaillée permettant d’identifier les actions prioritaires, les mécanismes de mise en œuvre, les partenaires potentiels ainsi que les opportunités de financement et de coopération nécessaires au déploiement effectif, éthique et inclusif de la stratégie nationale. Conformément à la Recommandation de l'UNESCO sur l'éthique de l'intelligence artificielle, le Bureau régional accompagnera les gouvernements dans l'identification des opportunités, des risques et des priorités nationales afin de favoriser un développement responsable et inclusif de l'IA. Objectifs spécifiques 1. Renforcer les capacités des décideurs publics sur les enjeux éthiques de l'intelligence artificielle ; 2. Identifier les opportunités d'utilisation de l'IA dans les secteurs prioritaires du développement ; 3. Sensibiliser les acteurs nationaux aux principes de la Recommandation de l'UNESCO sur l'éthique de l'IA ; 4. Élaborer des feuilles de route nationales pour une gouvernance responsable de l'IA ; 5. Favoriser la coopération régionale sur les questions d'éthique et de gouvernance de l'IA. Description détaillée de la mise en œuvre Le projet sera articulé autour de trois composantes complémentaires. Composante 1 Études nationales sur la préparation à la gouvernance éthique de l'IA Des études seront réalisées dans chacun des trois pays afin d'évaluer : • le niveau de préparation institutionnelle ; • les cadres réglementaires existants ; • les capacités des administrations publiques ; • les infrastructures numériques ; • les principaux risques éthiques ; • les opportunités sectorielles. Les études accorderont une attention particulière à : • l'éducation ; • l'agriculture ; • la gestion des ressources naturelles ; • les services publics ; • la santé ; • l'emploi des jeunes.

Despite progress under the Continental Education Strategy for Africa (CESA 16–25) and other AU-led frameworks, substantial gaps persist in access, equity, quality, relevance, and financing of education across Member States. The Decade responds to these systemic challenges by dedicating the next ten years to urgent, holistic, and strategic reforms aimed at building inclusive, resilient, and future-ready education systems. The initiative is underpinned by five strategic imperatives that collectively drive the transformation of Africa’s educational landscape. It seeks to respond urgently to critical learning and skills gaps while enhancing policy coherence and sustainable financing across the continent. By reinforcing the role of education as a cornerstone for peace, resilience, and stability, the initiative directly drives the implementation of CESA 26–35 and Agenda 2063 commitments. Furthermore, it is strategically positioned to capitalize on Africa’s significant demographic dividend and rapid technological advancements, ensuring that the continent’s youth are equipped for the demands of the 21st century. It proposes a continent-wide push to consolidate gains, scale innovations, and drive inclusive, technology-enabled, and competency-based learning transformation from 2025 to 2034. Anchored on the foundational pillars of Continental Education Strategy for Africa (CESA 26–35), the New TVET Strategy 2025-2034 and the New STISA 2034 and aligned with the broader vision of Agenda 2063, the Decade serves as a unifying platform to coordinate national, regional, and continental efforts; ensure policy coherence; and mobilize stakeholders toward shared education and skills development priorities.Contributions to the Regular ProgrammePlanned start date of the activityDate prévue de début de l'activitéUnited Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO)Core Data Portal Focal Pointcore@unesco.orgEDUCATION SECTORXM-DAC-41304-A2101A3012United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO)Organisation des Nations unies pour l'éducation, la science et la culture (UNESCO)Within the framework of the Global Education Cooperation Mechanism (GCM), coordination of SDG 4-Education 2030 in Arab States is headed by the UNESCO Beirut Office’s through the Regional Coordination Mechanism in coordination with UNESCO's global leadership, the program focuses on effective coordination, monitoring, reporting, evidence-based policy guidance, technical dialogue, and enhanced communication and knowledge management.Contributions to the Regular ProgrammePlanned start date of the activityDate prévue de début de l'activitéUnited Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO)Core Data Portal Focal Pointcore@unesco.orgEDUCATION SECTOR27233.12XM-DAC-41304-A210432011United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO)Organisation des Nations unies pour l'éducation, la science et la culture (UNESCO)This activity is designed with a clear focus on the two strategic priorities, namely, a situational analysis and comprehensive mapping exercise on the state of academic freedom in Southern Africa, to inform future actions and interventions, thus contributing to KPI 1; and the second action will develop specific and targeted advocacy campaigns aimed at creating awareness around the issue of safety of scientists and scientific research in Southern Africa, with the objective of building a regional community of practice, thus contributing to KPI 2.

However, AI's benefits will not be evenly distributed, potentially exacerbating inequality and labour market disruptions. To ensure AI's ethical development and mitigate risks such as bias and privacy violations, robust human oversight, particularly from the judiciary, is crucial. Beyond its role in AI governance, the judiciary can also adopt AI to improve efficiency and access to justice, but in doing so, it must ensure that AI tools uphold fairness, accountability, and human rights, embedding these principles into their operations to modernize while safeguarding fundamental rights. The sector of Communication and Information will reinforce the work undertaken by the Social and Human Sciences programme to foster interdisciplinary dialogue, advance ethical guidelines, regulatory frameworks, and policies that prioritize fairness, transparency, and accountability in AI development and deployment. Through this collaboration, UNESCO will ensure that ethical AI governance is widely understood and effectively implemented, fostering AI systems that serve humanity responsibly.

Dans ces territoires, les radios communautaires jouent un rôle essentiel dans la diffusion des alertes précoces, la sensibilisation des populations et l’accompagnement des communautés en période de crise. Elles constituent souvent la source d’information la plus accessible dans les zones rurales et difficiles d’accès. Au cours des dernières années, plusieurs stations ont également développé des groupes WhatsApp, des pages Facebook et des chaînes YouTube qui leur permettent de maintenir le contact avec leurs communautés et de diffuser rapidement des messages d’intérêt public lorsque les infrastructures traditionnelles sont perturbées. En situation d’urgence, lorsque les réseaux électriques sont endommagés ou que les moyens habituels de diffusion sont interrompus, ces plateformes deviennent des outils complémentaires pour transmettre des alertes, des consignes de sécurité et des informations de protection civile. Dans certains contextes, les mégaphones demeurent également un moyen efficace de communiquer directement avec les populations lorsque l’électricité, Internet ou les réseaux de télécommunication ne sont plus disponibles. Malgré leur importance stratégique, plusieurs radios communautaires disposent de ressources limitées pour maintenir leurs activités en période de catastrophe. Le manque d’équipements adaptés, l’absence de mécanismes de continuité opérationnelle et les contraintes énergétiques réduisent leur capacité à assurer efficacement leur mission de service public lorsque les besoins d’information sont les plus importants. Le projet vise à renforcer la résilience de dix radios communautaires à travers trois axes complémentaires : la préparation institutionnelle, le renforcement des capacités des journalistes et l’amélioration des moyens techniques de communication d’urgence. Une attention particulière sera accordée aux radios desservant des communautés isolées ou fortement exposées aux risques climatiques dans les départements du Sud et de la Grand’Anse. Afin de répondre aux défis auxquels sont confrontés les médias communautaires dans les zones exposées aux catastrophes naturelles, le projet adopte une approche intégrée combinant préparation institutionnelle, renforcement des compétences professionnelles et amélioration des capacités techniques de communication. Ces trois dimensions sont complémentaires et visent à permettre aux radios bénéficiaires de mieux anticiper les situations d’urgence, de maintenir leurs opérations en période de crise et de diffuser rapidement des informations fiables et utiles aux populations.

It enables learners to engage with artistic expression and cultural heritage while developing the knowledge, skills, values, and attitudes needed to participate actively in society. The UNESCO Framework for Culture and Arts Education recognizes culture and the arts as essential dimensions of quality education and lifelong learning. It promotes equitable access to culture and arts education for all, emphasizing its contribution to personal development, social cohesion, intercultural dialogue, sustainable development, and the safeguarding of cultural heritage. By encouraging learners to explore, create, and connect with diverse cultural expressions, culture and arts education helps build more inclusive, resilient, and sustainable societies. The activities proposed under this project will contribute to enhancing the integration of arts and culture in schools in East Asia. The immediate activity is to organize annual Children's Art Exhibition, starting from China in the first year and expanding to other countries in subsequent years.Contributions to the Regular ProgrammePlanned start date of the activityDate prévue de début de l'activitéUnited Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO)Core Data Portal Focal Pointcore@unesco.orgSECTOR FOR CULTURE51645.27XM-DAC-41304-221GLO2004United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO)Organisation des Nations unies pour l'éducation, la science et la culture (UNESCO)This UN Joint Project aims to strengthen national capacities in targeted AIS Small Island Developing States (SIDS) to utilize Science, Technology, and Innovation (STI) effectively for advancing climate resilience and nature-based solutions in alignment with the Sustainable Development Goals.

Its member cities have developed and experimented innovative ways to integrate culture and creativity at the core of their policies, strategies and plans, which significantly contributes to sustainable development. As a UNESCO flagship city programme, the Network has contributed to strengthening advocacy efforts towards the integration of culture in the international sustainable development agenda. With its 350 member cities in more than 100 countries, the Network has a growing voice in international discussions on cities and sustainable urban development. As a result, the number of cities applying to each Call for Application has also been rising. The Network covers a variety of cities, from small-sized settlements to metropolises, within various economic, social, political and environmental settings. This urban diversity allows the emergence of a wide range of policies, strategies and practices at the city level aimed at dealing with common challenges of our time. Over the last years, the Network has significantly reshaped its management mechanisms. UNESCO’s leading role as the Secretariat of the Network has been consolidated, covering different action areas notably the designation process, the membership monitoring excercise, the organization of the annual conferences, knowledge development, awareness raising and communication activities, among many others.

Building on this foundation, UNESCO will leverage its normative mandate, standard-setting role, research capacities, convening power, advocacy reach and capacity-building expertise to address racism and discrimination at local, national, regional and global levels. UNESCO will strengthen the Global Forum against Racism and Discrimination as the world's only dedicated multistakeholder platform to drive policy dialogue, promote international cooperation, facilitate the exchange of good practices, and mobilize collective action. To translate dialogue into impact, UNESCO will expand its ecosystem of networks and partnerships through the Global Alliance against Racism and Discriminations, the Network of Anti-Racism and Anti-Discrimination Officials, the Master Class Series against Racism and Discrimination, and the Writers against Racism initiative. With the consolidated Sciences Sector, UNESCO will renew work on the scientific underpinnings of racism and discrimination, building on its historic leadership in challenging pseudoscientific theories of racial hierarchy. UNESCO will also leverage interdisciplinary expertise to strengthen links between anti-racism, gender-based discrimination, ableism, climate justice, environmental inequalities and emerging challenges such as bias in artificial intelligence systems. Recognizing that racism is rooted in historical and structural inequalities, the UNESCO Dialogues for Reparatory Justice will remain an important vehicle for tackling the root causes of racism and discrimination and promoting reflection on recognition, accountability, healing and repair. By acting across normative and standard-setting work, research and data, capacity-building, advocacy, coalition-building and public engagement, UNESCO will continue to strengthen its leadership within the global community and drive coordinated action toward more just, equitable, inclusive and resilient societies.FinlandSanofiFuture Food Institute ETS/Fondazione Future Food Institute ETSBA&SH SASPlanned start date of the activityDate prévue de début de l'activitéUnited Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO)Core Data Portal Focal Pointcore@unesco.orgSECTOR OF SOCIAL AND HUMAN SCIENCES4272.5945766.6545766.656584.284272.59XM-DAC-41304-3210411052United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO)Organisation des Nations unies pour l'éducation, la science et la culture (UNESCO)The programme prioritizes activities that deepen understanding of the history and lasting legacies of enslavement and the slave trade.

Khortytsia National Reserve located in Zaporizhzhia oblast (south-east Ukraine) —the largest river island in Europe, and a site of exceptional natural and cultural heritage— has been heavily affected by the environmental fallout of the war. The area is continuously exposed to attacks, a situation that has been further aggravated in June 2023 due to the destruction of the closely situated Kakhovka Hydroelectric Power Plant. The area impacted by the dam destruction has a unique high-density concentration of cultural assets, several of which are of national importance, and includes, as revealed by the draining of the Kakhovka reservoir, an unprecedented number of archaeological sites and materials (ceramics, metal objects, flint tools, household items, and even a rare millennia-old oak log boat, etc.) that need urgent documentation and protection. These finds are of immense scientific and cultural importance, offering unique insights into prehistoric and medieval settlement of the region, but they are also at immediate risk of erosion, looting, and deterioration. Despite these obstacles, Khortytsia has continued to fulfil its broader mission as scientific and cultural institution, and resumed its role as a cultural hub, thus enhancing social resilience, through access to culture and continuity of cultural expressions and practices to foster communities’ ties, a sense of shared memory and identity and hope amid war. UNESCO has been supporting these efforts over the past two years, allowing researchers to survey some of the newly exposed areas of the riverbanks and incorporate over 2,000 newly identified artifacts into the Reserve’s collections. However, wartime conditions continue to threaten the Reserve, and its rich natural and cultural heritage, thus requiring the provided support to continue and be scaled up. The Project has the overall objective of providing a comprehensive response to war-induced damage while laying the foundation for sustainable preservation, knowledge exchange, and community engagement. In fact, the planned activities address both the very urgent and long-term needs of Khortytsia Reserve. Emergency measures, such as repairing the Museum premises, expanding storage facilities, and stabilizing rescued artifacts, are critical to prevent irreversible loss.

There are growing challenges among Member States in the region to assess and fairly recognize international qualifications and new micro-credentials from short-term programs. To facilitate cross-border mobility, action plans must strengthen commitment and networks to support students and professionals throughout Asia and the Pacific. Based on the achievements of the project “Regional Quality Tools to Facilitate the Cross-border Mobility of Students” (2019-2023), UNESCO Bangkok proposes to develop joint action plans to facilitate mobility and cross-border recognition of qualifications for students and professionals in the Asia-Pacific region. As Secretariat of the Asia-Pacific Network of National Information Centres (APNNIC) under the Tokyo Convention, UNESCO Bangkok is a platform for evidence-based policy development and action planning to ensure fair and transparent recognition of qualifications and increased learner and professional mobility. The aim of this project is to develop national action plans to increase student and faulty mobility and facilitate the recognition of qualifications in Asia and the Pacific. Strong and inclusive university networks are key enablers for mobility, educational innovation, and regional integration in Asia-Pacific. Increasing regional mobility of young scholars and enhancing inter-university networks will multiply strategic collaborations and strengthen integration for sustainable growth.

First, the project aims to refine and structuralize existing damage assessment data pertaining cultural properties located within the Ancient City of Aleppo. Such data has been developed by UNESCO and other organizations since the outset of the conflict. In this context, the project will take stock of this documentation and consolidate the existing data. Emergency stabilization and basic repairs will follow immediately, delivered through cash-for-work scheme that pairs skilled professionals with young apprentices. In this way, stabilization works will support employment and hands-on training, giving Alepines both the means and the expertise to carry forward longer-term restoration once the project closes. Second, the project will restore the ability of Aleppo’s cultural institutions to protect, record and share their collections. Museums and heritage directorates will receive modern digitization equipment and targeted instruction in cataloguing and preventive conservation. With these tools, staff will be able to create a comprehensive digital register of artefacts, monitor their condition, and cooperate effectively with customs and security agencies to combat illicit trafficking. Strengthened in this way, local institutions will possess the resilience and knowledge base required to lead Syria’s wider cultural recovery and to turn heritage stewardship into a sustainable livelihood sector. Taken together, these twin objectives—physical stabilization that generates jobs, and institutional digitization that safeguards collections—ensure that Aleppo’s heritage revival is both a cultural imperative and a catalyst for economic renewal.JapanPlanned start date of the activityDate prévue de début de l'activitéUnited Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO)Core Data Portal Focal Pointcore@unesco.orgSECTOR FOR CULTURE113777.98130000.006222.02XM-DAC-41304-538GLO5000United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO)Organisation des Nations unies pour l'éducation, la science et la culture (UNESCO)The Global Media Defence Fund will specifically foster media protection and support the provision of legal advice to journalists, with a theory of change focused on the following aims: • Foster international legal cooperation for promoting the defence of journalists under attack; • Reinforce the operationalization of national protection mechanisms and peer support networks; • Support investigative journalism that contributes to reduced impunity for crimes against journalists; • Enhance structures for fostering strategic litigation in order to protect a national environment where the legal frameworks are conducive to an independent, free and plural media ecosystem.CanadaGermanyIrelandLatviaAustraliaAustriaCyprusCzechiaFranceSerbiaSiemens AGSwitzerlandEstoniaUnited Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern IrelandLuxembourgNetherlandsNew ZealandSlovakiaJapanLithuaniaPlanned start date of the activityDate prévue de début de l'activitéUnited Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO)Core Data Portal Focal Pointcore@unesco.orgSECTOR OF COMMUNICATION AND INFORMATION701854.901130622.881384969.871799704.721669522.491643873.151776420.51207816.09100000.00701854.901799704.72701747.351643873.151384969.871669522.491130622.88XM-DAC-41304-538GLO5001United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO)Organisation des Nations unies pour l'éducation, la science et la culture (UNESCO)As part of the broader programme implemented under the Global Media Defence Fund (GMDF), UNESCO shall establish and administer an Crisis Response Mechanism (CRM) to provide time-sensitive emergency support to journalists and media in distress in countries experiencing unforeseen or sudden major crises affecting media community, with the aim of ensuring the immediate safety of media workers facing danger or threat as a direct result of their profession, with a focus on women journalists; as well as supporting the work of journalists and media outlets working on the ground to continue to safely and professionally report the news and avoid an information vacuum in crisis-affected countries.AustriaCyprusFranceNew ZealandSiemens AGEstoniaJapanLithuaniaLuxembourgLatviaAustraliaSerbiaCanadaSwitzerlandCzechiaGermanyUnited Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern IrelandIrelandNetherlandsSlovakiaPlanned start date of the activityDate prévue de début de l'activitéUnited Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO)Core Data Portal Focal Pointcore@unesco.orgSECTOR OF COMMUNICATION AND INFORMATION84798.38248739.9296329.5373684.3577354.8137514.8396329.5373684.3584798.38248739.92XM-DAC-41304-538JOR1000United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO)Organisation des Nations unies pour l'éducation, la science et la culture (UNESCO)The program aims to support the Ministry of Education (MoE) to strengthen data collection, utilization, monitoring, evaluation and reporting (MER), research, and evidence-based planning and policymaking.

Human rights, especially those of women and girls, are severely curtailed, with restrictions on access to education, freedom of movement, freedom of expression and access to healthcare, to only name a few. Interventions by the international donor community focus on supporting the basic human needs and livelihoods of the people of Afghanistan, in which media play a critical role. At the same time, journalists can only play their critical role when they can exercise their profession as safely as possibly. This is particularly true for women journalists, around 80% of whom have lost their employment according to UNESCO-supported data. As such, the project will build on two key outcomes, with a “women-for-women”, human rights and do-not-harm based approach: 1) The Afghan population, particularly women, children and groups in vulnerable situations, including minorities, IDPs and returnees, have enhanced access to basic services via the media; 2) Resilient livelihoods are enhanced and job opportunities created for Afghan journalists and media workers, particularly women.European Union (EU)European CommissionPlanned start date of the activityDate prévue de début de l'activitéUnited Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO)Core Data Portal Focal Pointcore@unesco.orgSECTOR OF COMMUNICATION AND INFORMATION1070405.711700000.00392194.29473251.511070405.71XM-DAC-41304-549CYP1001United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO)Organisation des Nations unies pour l'éducation, la science et la culture (UNESCO)This project aims to strengthen the capacity of the Ministry of Education, Sport and Youth in Cyprus to develop and implement robust, evidence-based education policies that improve the basic skills of secondary school students.

These reserves are vital ecosystems characterized by rich biodiversity and cultural significance, serving as important sites for promoting biodiversity conservation, sustainable development, scientific research, education, and cultural preservation. They contribute to global efforts to protect the planet's natural heritage and ensure a sustainable future for generations to come. However, within the transition zone of the Biosphere Reserves, unsustainable agricultural practices threaten the delicate balance of these ecosystems, necessitating the adoption of agroecological approaches to ensure long-term environmental sustainability and food security. Thus, promoting agroecology practices for biodiversity conservation in UNESCO-designated Biosphere Reserves in East Africa presents a unique opportunity to address environmental challenges while improving food security and livelihoods for local communities. Our idea encompasses a comprehensive strategy to promote agroecology practices for biodiversity conservation in East African UNESCO Biosphere Reserves through the following activities: a) Conducting a baseline assessment to identify existing agricultural practices, biodiversity hotspots, and potential threats within the three Biosphere Reserves in Kenya, Mauritius, Rwanda, and Tanzania. b) Identifying and disseminating tailored and gender-transformative agroecology training programs and educational materials for farmers and community members living in the transition zone of biosphere reserves. c) Promoting the adoption of agroecological practices among farmers and communities within UNESCO Biosphere Reserves in East Africa, thus enhancing biodiversity conservation. d) Developing knowledge products, including case studies, success stories, and policy briefs, to document and share promising agroecology practices for biodiversity conservation in eastern Africa. e) Fostering partnerships and collaboration among relevant stakeholders, including government agencies, NGOs, local communities, and academic institutions, to promote agroecological practices among communities, especially women, indigenous people, and youth. The expected outcomes of this initiative include enhanced biodiversity conservation and ecosystem resilience within the Biosphere Reserves, improved soil health, water quality, and ecosystem services, strengthened capacity of local farmers, especially women and youth, and stakeholders in agroecology principles and practices, and enhanced collaboration and partnerships among relevant stakeholders for sustainable agriculture and biodiversity conservation within UNESCO Biosphere Reserves. The adoption of agroecology practices will contribute to the long-term sustainability and conservation of biodiversity and ecosystem health within UNESCO Biosphere Reserves in East Africa.McKnight FoundationPlanned start date of the activityDate prévue de début de l'activitéUnited Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO)Core Data Portal Focal Pointcore@unesco.orgNATURAL SCIENCES SECTOR5175.93125723.15100000.0069100.925175.9346577.42XM-DAC-41304-570RAF2003United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO)Organisation des Nations unies pour l'éducation, la science et la culture (UNESCO)Africa is facing environmental challenges of unprecedented magnitude that significantly affect terrestrial and marine ecosystems. These challenges include biodiversity loss, deterioration of marine and coastal ecosystems, as well as threats to protected areas. These environmental issues are exacerbated by factors such as climate change, overexploitation of natural resources and deforestation. Faced with these challenges, it is imperative to adopt an integrated approach, combining nature conservation and improving the living conditions of local communities. It is with this in mind that ecosystem restoration is emerging as a strategic response to these major environmental issues, while providing solutions for mitigation and adaptation to climate change. The Biosphere Reserve (BR) model allows multisectoral and multidisciplinary coordination at the scale of a landscape to demonstrate the potential of this integrated approach. The project will focus on an existing BR, Chimanimani in Zimbabwe, that was established in 2021; and a potential BR in Botswana, the Makgadikgadi landscape, that was selected by the Botswana MAB Committee as priority for nomination. The project will be implemented in parallel with a complementary project that will be implemented by the Fondation OCP and Université Mohamed VI Polytechnique. The overall objective of this project is to contribute to the restoration of ecosystems, while strengthening the resilience of local populations and improving their living conditions. To achieve this objective, the program is structured around the following distinct areas of intervention: - Institutional support and capacity building; - Support for local communities; - Improvement of the conservation status of biodiversity; - Awareness-raising, exchange of experiences and advocacy; - Mapping Indigenous knowledgeFondation OCPPlanned start date of the activityDate prévue de début de l'activitéUnited Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO)Core Data Portal Focal Pointcore@unesco.orgNATURAL SCIENCES SECTOR340875.00341458.00341167.00XM-DAC-41304-570RAS1006United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO)Organisation des Nations unies pour l'éducation, la science et la culture (UNESCO)As part of UNESCO's global partnership with Christian Dior Couture, under the dedicated pillar on inclusion in and through education, with a focus on LBGTI persons, the project will implement activities to realize the following two outcomes: 1.

Further to an extended period in which many of the projects financed by Libya were placed on hold, an effort is underway by the Libyan authorities and UNESCO to re-activate and relaunch the cooperation to progress on the 2030 Agenda and the SDG’s. In 2019, the UNESCO Office for the Maghreb based in Rabat was assigned responsibility for cooperation with Libya. The establishment of Coordination and Partnership in Tripoli Antenna with the funds from “Running cost-the Tripoli Office-664LIB50001”, under the overall supervision and support of the UNESCO Regional Office for the Maghreb based in Rabat, is to facilitate day-to-day engagement and foster partnerships with key national and international stakeholders based in Libya including the donor community. It will enable coordination with different UNCTs to foster joint programming, partnership and joint projects. The incumbent will also identify funding opportunities outside the UN system with traditional and non-traditional donors. The person coordinating will be in charge of following the outcome and outputs of the joint activities and synergies within different UNCTs and of the regular and extra budgetary programs of UNESCO as well as the regular reporting to UNESCO, the UN and Government planning institutes. It will facilitate the on-going process of reactivating programmes financed by Libya as well as the identification of new large-scale impactful programmes, and resource mobilization to scale up collaboration between UNESCO and Libya as well as to strengthen UNESCO’s presence. It will also facilitate UNESCO participation within the wider United Nations Country Team in Libya and foster the operationalization of UNESCO’s mandate within the UN Sustainable Development Cooperation Framework (UNSDCF) for Libya for 2023-2025. The establishment of a UNESCO Antenna in Tripoli for Libya is also in line with the Agreed Management Actions (AMA) outlined in the recent 2023 audit on the UNESCO Regional Office for the Maghreb, which recommends that “the Office should develop a strategy defining its programme priorities in line with the five countries’ needs and a corresponding resource mobilization plan” and to support the Office in managing its presence in countries where UNESCO is not a resident agency, the Office for the Maghreb is deploying efforts to enhance the Organization’s presence in Libya. Therefore, the re-activation of the project “Running cost-the Tripoli Office-664LIB50001” will contribute to the achievement of the following outcome: Ensure implementation of UNESCO’s mandate in all areas of competencies including Education, Natural and Human Sciences, Culture as well as Communication and Information in Libya.Contributions to the Regular ProgrammePlanned start date of the activityDate prévue de début de l'activitéUnited Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO)Core Data Portal Focal Pointcore@unesco.orgFIELD OFFICES PROGRAMME MANAGEMENT AND SUPPORT SERVICES146685.07416194.41156313.26189.58420000.0043651.68146685.07189.58109178.38156313.26416194.41XM-DAC-41304-680ADM4101United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO)Organisation des Nations unies pour l'éducation, la science et la culture (UNESCO)Secretariat of the Appeals BoardContributions to the Regular ProgrammePlanned start date of the activityDate prévue de début de l'activitéUnited Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO)Core Data Portal Focal Pointcore@unesco.orgOFFICE OF THE ASSISTANT DIRECTOR-GENERAL31995.57XM-DAC-41304-680ADM4102United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO)Organisation des Nations unies pour l'éducation, la science et la culture (UNESCO)General Operating Expenses Office ADG/ADM, including Executive Office and Administrative Support Section (Headquarters)Contributions to the Regular ProgrammePlanned start date of the activityDate prévue de début de l'activitéUnited Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO)Core Data Portal Focal Pointcore@unesco.orgOFFICE OF THE ASSISTANT DIRECTOR-GENERAL37897.99XM-DAC-41304-680ADM4103United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO)Organisation des Nations unies pour l'éducation, la science et la culture (UNESCO)Risk and ComplianceContributions to the Regular ProgrammePlanned start date of the activityDate prévue de début de l'activitéUnited Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO)Core Data Portal Focal Pointcore@unesco.orgOFFICE OF THE ASSISTANT DIRECTOR-GENERAL16800.00XM-DAC-41304-727PRC1013United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO)Organisation des Nations unies pour l'éducation, la science et la culture (UNESCO)Le Programme d’Appui au Renforcement des Capacités (SCG) en République du Congo, mis en œuvre conjointement par l’UNESCO et l’UNICEF avec le Gouvernement congolais, vise à soutenir la transformation du système éducatif à travers le renforcement des capacités institutionnelles et techniques.

The STG programme proposal refines the priority reform outlined in the Partnership Compact while leveraging the insights from further consultations and the new ESP to design targeted interventions that respond to critical sector needs and act as catalysts for system transformation. Through this process, three strategic domains emerged as focal areas: ECE and transitions to early primary, foundational learning in primary schooling, and school-level TVET with pathways to employment and PSET. These domains were prioritised due to their potential to address systemic challenges and unlock seamless transitions that promote quality lifelong learning for all. At the core of the programme design is a commitment to advancing teacher development, gender equality, inclusion, and community participation. These cross-cutting issues are embedded within the interventions to ensure a holistic approach to the priority reform. Specific efforts will be made to hardwire gender and equity considerations into the outcomes, ensuring inclusive and sustainable impact. Outcome 1 focuses on enhancing ECE and transitions to primary education. While Samoa has developed several policies and tools in this area, implementation remains a significant challenge, alongside limited coordination within the subsector. These challenges create barriers to young children’s preparation for and smooth transitions into primary education. This outcome, therefore, aims to strengthen planning, coordination, and resource allocation while addressing implementation gaps in the other four core functions of ECE as identified in the ESA: curriculum development, workforce training, family and community engagement, and quality assurance. Outcome 2 focuses on strengthening primary school aged students’ foundational literacy and numeracy skills to sustain their engagement and success at primary school and as they transition to secondary and post-secondary education and work. Where students experience literacy and numeracy success in the earlier years of compulsory schooling, they are more likely to remain engaged in secondary education and able to maximise the learning they experience within it. Utilising existing literacy and numeracy achievement datasets as diagnostic tools at the school and grade level affords primary teachers’ opportunities to design and deliver multi-tiered interventions for vulnerable student cohorts as well as provide tailored individual support for learners with additional needs. These students are otherwise at risk of progressing through their schooling without achieving the levels of literacy and numeracy skills necessary to future learning and work opportunities. Outcome 3 targets the TVET subsector, focusing on improving pathways to PSET and employment. Secondary education faces structural bottlenecks, with high dropout rates—particularly among boys and in grades 11–12—and limited pathways for children and youth in the later years or after secondary school completion. Offering high quality, attractive and relevant TVET programmes at secondary level could facilitate the continuation of learning through higher education or provide alternate learning pathways for youth willing to enter the labour market, reducing socioeconomic and geographic inequalities and equipping young people with the skills needed to thrive. The outcome seeks to support enhanced alignment, governance and coordination within the TVET subsector and aligns with UNESCO’s global strategy for TVET support and Samoa’s vision for repackaging secondary-level TVET offerings. This outcome builds upon planned activities under MEC’s TVET repackaging exercise and includes complementary initiatives to achieve a comprehensive reform of TVET offerings within secondary education subsector. Together, these outcomes aim to create a sustainable and inclusive education system that empowers learners at every stage, ensures equitable opportunities, and fosters lifelong learning for all in Samoa.World Bank - Global Partnership for EducationPlanned start date of the activityDate prévue de début de l'activitéUnited Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO)Core Data Portal Focal Pointcore@unesco.orgEDUCATION SECTOR25086.50598663.501000750.00541750.00333750.0025086.5033636.46XM-DAC-41304-727VIE1004United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO)Organisation des Nations unies pour l'éducation, la science et la culture (UNESCO)Despite Viet Nam’s rapid socio-economic growth and progress in achieving universal access to basic education, persistent inequalities remain.

This region-wide shift aims to align national systems with global standards, address 21st-century skill demands, and respond to dynamic labor market requirements. While each country is at a different stage of implementation, they face a shared set of challenges and needs, particularly in the areas of curricula and policy. Despite differing national contexts, Central Asian states share several critical needs in curriculum development: 1. Moving from content overload to flexible outcomes: All countries struggle with curricula inherited from the Soviet-era that are content-heavy and emphasize rote memorization. The region needs flexible, regularly updated curricula focused on measurable learning outcomes and practical application. 2. Integrating cross-cutting competencies: Curricula must systematically incorporate 21st-century skills, including: o Digital literacy and ICT competencies o Critical thinking and problem-solving o Socio-emotional learning o Green competencies and climate resilience o Transversal and meta-cognitive skills 3. Developing competency-based learning materials: The region requires new textbooks, teacher guides, and assessment tools that move away from traditional testing toward performance-based and portfolio assessments. 4. Strengthening work-based and lifelong learning: Curricula at secondary and tertiary levels need structured integration of work-based learning, employer partnerships, modular programs, and micro-credentials to support lifelong learning. UNESCO Almaty RO plans to assist regional education policymakers through Sector-wide Policies and Plans, EMIS, Curriculum, and Learning Assessments in enabling CBE reform by providing technical advice in 1)creating coherent national assessment systems aligned with competency-based outcomes; 2) adopting teacher professional standards backed by sustainable continuous professional development (CPD) systems, including in-service training centers and digital upskilling; 3) bridging policy-practice gaps by developing policies that would include implementation roadmaps, school-level support, and mechanisms to shift teacher mindsets from traditional instruction to facilitative, competency-based pedagogies; 4)setting standards in greening education and AI in education, as newly emerging areas of education.Contributions to the Regular ProgrammePlanned start date of the activityDate prévue de début de l'activitéUnited Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO)Core Data Portal Focal Pointcore@unesco.orgEDUCATION SECTORXM-DAC-41304-A210142031United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO)Organisation des Nations unies pour l'éducation, la science et la culture (UNESCO)In West and Central Africa, nearly 39 million children do not attend school, with the region accounting for one-third of the world's out-of-school children of primary age, and one-fifth of those of secondary age. There are marked disparities in access to quality education, particularly between urban and rural areas as well as between rich and poor households. Schools in rural and disadvantaged areas suffer from poor conditions or non-existence of proper school buildings and facilities, including toilets, desks and chairs. In West Africa, only seven out of 15 countries have ratified the UNESCO Convention against Discrimination against Education (1960), while 4 of them have accepted it.. At lower secondary level, gender disparities are widening overall, especially in countries that have not yet achieved parity at the primary level. Furthermore, as the population of young people aged 0-25 is set to increase from 63 million in 2022 to 119 million in 2025 in the region, education systems will be confronted with heavy demographic pressure, making it difficult to ensure inclusion and the right to education for all. Early childhood care and education (ECCE) lays the foundation for subsequent learning and wellbeing, promoting readiness for primary school; however, access to pre-primary education remains insufficient and unequal, with only 22% of children are enrolled in West Africa. More systemic efforts and collaborations are needed to accelerate progress in ECCE so that children are empowered to begin and continue their learning and development trajectories on a solid basis nurtured by quality care, education and protection. To this effect, UNESCO supports countries in enshrining the right to education and incorporating it into their policies and practices in accordance with existing international and regional frameworks and commitments. It assists countries in promoting inclusion in education, with particular attention the most vulnerable and marginalized groups. Key activities include the integration of specific guidelines for learners with disabilities and vulnerable groups into current state-level education plans and teaching-onboarding processes. Moreover, UNESCO supports the expansion of access to quality ECCE, in line with relevant international and regional frameworks and commitments such as the Tashkent Declaration and the Commitments to Action for the Transformation of ECCE adopted at the 2022 World Conference on ECCE by Member States. The Declaration calls for the implementation of commitments such as at least one year of free, compulsory, high-quality pre-primary education, and the target of allocating at least 10% of education expenditure to pre-primary education. UNESCO supports evidence-based assessment, policy dialogue and prioritization in ECCE in selected countries.Contributions to the Regular ProgrammePlanned start date of the activityDate prévue de début de l'activitéUnited Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO)Core Data Portal Focal Pointcore@unesco.orgEDUCATION SECTORXM-DAC-41304-A210142041United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO)Organisation des Nations unies pour l'éducation, la science et la culture (UNESCO)By leveraging South Africa's primary early childhood education (ECCE) database and management system, Member states in Southern Africa will be introduced to a system for the national migration of ECCE functions which will digitalize centre registrations, tracks child enrolments, and generates live delivery dashboards.Contributions to the Regular ProgrammePlanned start date of the activityDate prévue de début de l'activitéUnited Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO)Core Data Portal Focal Pointcore@unesco.orgEDUCATION SECTORXM-DAC-41304-A2101B4101United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO)Organisation des Nations unies pour l'éducation, la science et la culture (UNESCO)UNESCO will strengthen implementation of Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) through youth-focused and gender-responsive initiatives that address gaps resulting from reduced Regular Programme resources.

These countries recognize the transformative potential of ESD in education systems, equipping learners, children, youth and adults, with the knowledge, values, skills, attitudes and behaviours needed to make sustainable lifestyle choices. These countries adhere to the prescriptions of UNESCO's "ESD for 2030" Roadmap, which recommends structuring ESD interventions around five priority areas of action: (1) Policies, (2) Learning environments, (3) Capacity building for educators, (4) Youth and (5) Local action. At the beginning of 2026, nearly half of the states in the sub-region have expressed their interest, but the number of countries that successfully engage must increase; UNESCO will continue to support national technical teams in charge of the development or implementation of "National ESD Initiatives", with the support of all development actors. Faced with various issues related to sustainable development, such as poverty, inequality, insecurity and conflict, environmental degradation and climate change, the countries of the sub-region are aware of the urgent need for action, based on the youth and dynamism of their populations, and the resilience of their education and training systems. The choice was made to maintain the dynamic of collaboration between the countries of the sub-region with a view to their qualitative participation in global level events organized in the framework of education for sustainable development. During the 2024-2025 biennium, UNESCO engaged these States in a process of mutual capacity building and peer learning on themes related to Education for Sustainable Development. Countries in the sub-region participate in the regular webinars and training activities offered by the ESD-Net Network for 2030; their delegates interact: they met, among other things, at a sub-regional meeting organized by the Dakar Office in June 2025; they took part in the (online) meeting on ESD convened for National Technical Teams and ESD partners from Central and West Africa in December 2025. Following these events, recommendations were formulated, accompanied by a Joint Action Plan, at the national or subregional level. UNESCO is committed to continue sharing experiences, in particular regarding the development process of the National ESD Initiative for 2030, to offer its support for the development of capacities to analyse financing opportunities and mobilize domestic or external resources. For the 2026-2027 biennium, UNESCO will continue to support countries in identifying and formulating priority interventions that should be carried out before the 2030 deadline, with the support of various ESD actors and partners.

Climate‑change disruptions — droughts, floods, storms, and heatwaves — are already intensifying. Yet, research output in critical sustainability areas remains limited. In this fragile landscape, science diplomacy emerges as a bridge between science, policy, and society, offering tools to foster cooperation and evidence‑based decision‑making across borders. Science diplomacy sits at the intersection of science and foreign policy, offering a framework to address global challenges such as climate change, human rights, and sustainable development. While rooted in long‑standing practices of international cooperation, it was only formally conceptualized in 2010. Objectives: 1. Advance peace and human rights by embedding scientific expertise into policy dialogue. 2. Promote sustainable development through evidence‑based decision‑making. 3. Consolidate science diplomacy capacity at global, regional, and national levels. 4. Align efforts with the 2025 UNESCO Global Ministerial Dialogue to set strategic direction. The workplan will contribute the following key activities: - Generate the evidence and analysis Member States need to act across the priority areas, building a stronger shared evidence base; - Support Member States and regional and continental organizations in shaping their own science diplomacy strategies, so that more of them have strategies to act on; -Broaden partnerships and access to shared scientific cooperation and infrastructures, widening participation in research no single state can sustain alone; - Convene dialogue at the global and regional levels, sustaining political engagement over time.Contributions to the Regular ProgrammePlanned start date of the activityDate prévue de début de l'activitéUnited Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO)Core Data Portal Focal Pointcore@unesco.orgNATURAL SCIENCES SECTORXM-DAC-41304-A210414041United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO)Organisation des Nations unies pour l'éducation, la science et la culture (UNESCO)The workplan aims at supporting member States in Asia-Pacific to understand and address causes and effects of climate disruption using interdisciplinary approaches in research and public debates on the topic.

Contexte et justification Les progrès scientifiques et technologiques offrent des opportunités importantes pour répondre aux défis du développement durable, de la transition énergétique et de l'adaptation au changement climatique. Toutefois, ces transformations soulèvent également des questions éthiques complexes relatives aux droits humains, à l'équité sociale, à la protection de l'environnement, à la gouvernance des données et à la justice intergénérationnelle. Dans de nombreux pays d'Afrique de l'Ouest, les cadres de gouvernance scientifique et technologique demeurent insuffisamment équipés pour intégrer ces dimensions éthiques dans les processus de décision publique. Le Bénin, le Togo et la Gambie ont engagé d'importantes réformes dans les domaines du numérique, du climat, de l'environnement et de l'innovation. Ces évolutions offrent une opportunité stratégique pour promouvoir une gouvernance responsable des sciences et des technologies conforme aux principes défendus par la Commission mondiale d'éthique des connaissances scientifiques et des technologies (COMEST). Le Bureau régional de l'UNESCO accompagnera ainsi les trois pays dans l'identification des principaux enjeux éthiques auxquels ils sont confrontés et dans l'élaboration de plans d'action nationaux destinés à guider les futures politiques publiques. Objectifs spécifiques 1. Sensibiliser les décideurs publics aux enjeux éthiques liés aux sciences, aux technologies émergentes et au changement climatique ; 2. Renforcer les capacités des institutions nationales à intégrer les recommandations de la COMEST dans leurs politiques publiques ; 3. Créer des espaces nationaux de dialogue entre chercheurs, décideurs publics, société civile et secteur privé ; 4. Élaborer des plans d'action nationaux pour promouvoir une gouvernance éthique de l'innovation scientifique et technologique. Description de la mise en œuvre Le projet sera mis en œuvre à travers trois ateliers nationaux de dialogue politique et scientifique organisés respectivement au Bénin, au Togo et en Gambie. Chaque atelier réunira les principaux acteurs nationaux concernés par les politiques scientifiques, environnementales, numériques et technologiques afin d'identifier les défis éthiques prioritaires propres à chaque pays. Les travaux s'appuieront sur les recommandations de la COMEST ainsi que sur les instruments normatifs de l'UNESCO relatifs à l'éthique des sciences, aux technologies émergentes et au développement durable. Chaque consultation aboutira à l'élaboration d'un plan d'action national définissant les priorités, les responsabilités institutionnelles et les mesures à mettre en œuvre pour renforcer la gouvernance éthique des sciences et des technologies.

Building on Phase 1 (4,000 teachers reached), Phase 2 will expand to teachers across at least 8 countries, while strengthening evidence and system-level uptake. Gender gaps in STEM begin long before career choices, often in mathematics classrooms, where biases and expectations shape girls’ confidence and participation. In a region where learning outcomes in mathematics remain low, these gaps translate into structural barriers to STEM pathways and, ultimately, to participation in emerging fields such as artificial intelligence. Strengthening mathematics education for girls is therefore not only an equity issue, but it is also a strategic investment in the region’s capacity to develop future talent. Building on the strong foundation established during Phase 1 and responding to the high demand from teachers and education systems across the region, the next phase of the project will focus on scaling the initiative, deepening its impact, and strengthening policy engagement and knowledge dissemination. The project will expand teacher professional development by replicating Mathematics for All workshops with new cohorts of teachers, leveraging the network of trained facilitators and adapting delivery formats to national contexts. This expansion will allow the project to reach teachers who were unable to participate in 2025 and address gaps across different countries and education systems.Contributions to the Regular ProgrammePlanned start date of the activityDate prévue de début de l'activitéUnited Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO)Core Data Portal Focal Pointcore@unesco.orgEDUCATION SECTORXM-DAC-41304-A2101B5102United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO)Organisation des Nations unies pour l'éducation, la science et la culture (UNESCO)Support the implementation of Greening Education in Brazil by strengthening capacities for Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) and climate action through the development, piloting and dissemination of educational resources in partnership with the Ministry of Education, ASPnet Schools, and the Greening Education Partnership.Contributions to the Regular ProgrammePlanned start date of the activityDate prévue de début de l'activitéUnited Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO)Core Data Portal Focal Pointcore@unesco.orgEDUCATION SECTORXM-DAC-41304-A2101B5111United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO)Organisation des Nations unies pour l'éducation, la science et la culture (UNESCO)This activity supports the expansion of Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) to strengthen climate readiness and resilience within Mexico’s education system, in line with Output 2.6.

Les journalistes sont confrontés à des menaces croissantes liées à l'insécurité, aux violences armées, aux déplacements forcés, aux pressions diverses et aux risques associés à la couverture des crises. Dans ce contexte, la sécurité des journalistes ne se limite plus à la protection physique. Elle implique également la maîtrise des outils numériques, la capacité à vérifier les informations dans des environnements complexes, la compréhension des principes éthiques et déontologiques de la profession ainsi que la gestion des impacts psychologiques liés à l'exposition répétée aux événements traumatiques. Une attention particulière sera accordée à la résilience psychosociale des journalistes, compte tenu de l'exposition croissante aux menaces, aux violences, aux déplacements forcés et aux situations de crise. Face à ces défis, le projet vise à renforcer les capacités de trente journalistes à travers une approche intégrée combinant formation spécialisée, production de ressources numériques durables et appui psychosocial à la résilience professionnelle. Au cœur du projet figure un atelier national de formation de cinq jours destiné à trente journalistes.

The intervention adopts an integrated approach that combines Greening Education, protection of cultural heritage, community engagement, and the circular economy. It aims to strengthen local environmental committees, promote community leadership and create networks coordination across key sectors such as tourism, environment, education, and culture. All of this will be carried out under principles of equity, inclusion, and shared responsibility, ensuring that the solutions adopted are sustainable, replicable, and culturally appropriate. It will directly impact staff from 12 municipalities (over 50% women), more than 100 tourism operators, World Heritage site managers and technical teams (50+ people), as well as school principals and teachers (over 30% women teachers). It will also indirectly benefit over 500,000 residents across the 12 districts and more than 4 million visitors per year. This proposal represents a unique opportunity to position Cusco as an international benchmark in sustainable tourism and the circular economy. The implementation of an efficient waste management model in the region will not only guarantee the protection of the region's cultural heritage but will also generate positive impacts on the population's quality of life and the sustainability of the tourism sector. The project, aligned with UNESCO Sustainable Tourism Programme, will support the implementation of international and national legal frameworks as 1972 Convention, SDG and Sustainable Tourism and Circular Economy national Roadmap.

At the time of the proposal in August 2025, typhoons No.1 Wutip (Jun 2025) and notably typhoon No.3 Wipha (Jul 2025) alone caused significant loss of life, displacement, and widespread damage to infrastructure and livelihoods to the central region of Viet Nam. Despite substantial progress in disaster risk management, critical gaps persist in near-real-time monitoring, early warning dissemination, and local response capacity, particularly in inland and mountainous areas. Strengthening real-time early warning systems, community and school preparedness, and local response mechanisms are therefore essential to reduce disaster impacts in an increasingly volatile climate context. In line with Build Back Better principle, the project aims to strengthen Viet Nam’s capacity for early warning, disaster preparedness, response and recovery and safer learning environments for those most at risk in the wake of Typhoon Wipha, Bualoi, and Matmo, thereby reducing loss of life and damage to property caused by water-related disasters and ensuring learning continuity, leveraging community resilience. The project will enhance national and local preparedness and resilience toward natural disasters through improved real-time early warning systems in disaster-prone areas, stronger disaster risk management, and safer schools in Nghe An province. It also advances science-based early warning technologies and integrates school and education system preparedness into disaster response plans, ensuring safe learning environments and education continuity in affected areas. Expected outcome This project will include the following expected results: • Outcome 1: Early warning systems (near/real time system) in critical/high‑risk areas are upgraded and improved, applying advances in science, technology and innovation in line with national and/or international standards, risk-based and community-centric disaster preparedness and resilience updated and strengthened • Outcome 2: Preparedness and resilience of education stakeholders in emergency are strengthened to ensure school safety, effective response, and education continuity The project target site: Nghe An province (which is also the Western Nghe An Biosphere Reserve and Vinh Global Learning City designated by UNESCO)JapanJapanPlanned start date of the activityDate prévue de début de l'activitéUnited Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO)Core Data Portal Focal Pointcore@unesco.orgNATURAL SCIENCES SECTOR414996.79118336.2186338.50XM-DAC-41304-570AFG4000United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO)Organisation des Nations unies pour l'éducation, la science et la culture (UNESCO)The Project will elaborate a detailed conservation plan for the Minaret, focusing on overall protection, structural stability and monitoring; install a monitoring system; and undertake actual works to safeguard the structure.

To date, the region has 103 properties (56 cultural, 42 natural, and 5 mixed sites) inscribed on the World Heritage List. However, there are 11 countries with no property inscribed on the World Heritage List and hence not represented on the UNESCO World Heritage List. The Operational Strategy for Priority Africa (2022-2029) adopted by UNESCO’s General Conference at its 41st session not only stresses the imperative need to protect and preserve Africa’s magnificent and diverse cultural and natural heritage but also emphasises the need to reinforce capacity development. In the framework of this strategy, UNESCO has enhanced efforts, in close collaboration with partners, to mobilise extrabudgetary resources to support its Global Priority Africa. Contributing to the Operational Strategy’s Flagship Programme 3, “Fostering cultural heritage and capacity development”, the project aims to reinforce the capacities of Government institutions, experts and professionals of African States Parties in implementing the World Heritage Convention through comprehensive capacity building programmes, especially in preparing nomination dossiers for potential World Heritage sites. In addition, during the extended 44th session of the World Heritage Committee (Fuzhou (China)/online meeting, 2021), the World Heritage Committee adopted the Fuzhou Declaration, which reiterates the significance of World Heritage protection and international cooperation and calls for closer international cooperation within the framework of multilateralism and increased support for developing countries, especially those in Africa and Small Island Developing States. In line with the Fuzhou Declaration, this project also aims to promote inter-regional experience-sharing by providing training and knowledge exchanges among African and Chinese heritage experts and site managers. This will, therefore, strengthen the capacities of professionals from both sides in tackling global challenges such as climate change, striking a balance between conservation and development, as well as promoting sustainable tourism, etc. Finally, the project seeks to promote synergies between the UNESCO Culture Conventions for achieving both the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and the African Union's Agenda 2063. It also contributes to the implementation of the Regional Action Plan for Africa (2021-2027) adopted by the World Heritage Committee at its Extended 44th session. This project aspires to advance socio-economic development by developing the capacities of African heritage professionals and ensuring linkages between heritage, creative industries and heritage conservation, and contributing to the UN Sustainable Development Goals targets. The project will contribute to the Operational Strategy for Priority Africa 2022-2029, as well as support the implementation of the 1972 World Heritage Convention, contributing significantly to achieving the five strategic objectives of the Regional Action Plan for Africa (2021-2027) adopted by the World Heritage Committee at its Extended 44th session in 2021 following the 3rd cycle of Periodic Reporting in the Africa Region. Additionally, this project has clear outputs in alignment with Aspiration 5 (An Africa with a strong cultural identity, common heritage, shared values and ethics) and Aspiration 6 (An Africa whose development is people-driven, relying on the potential of African people, especially its women and youth, and caring for children) of the African Union’s Agenda 2063: The Africa We Want. The project underscores the development of robust networks between African and Chinese experts and institutions to facilitate sustainable conservation and effective heritage site management. The activities, scheduled between 2024 and 2026, include mentorship programs, capacity-building sessions in Quanzhou, and bi-annual symposiums promoting international cooperation and knowledge exchange. This aligns with UNESCO's broader objectives under the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and the African Union's Agenda 2063, fostering a comprehensive approach to cultural and natural heritage preservation and enhancing global and inter-regional collaboration. The project will be implemented by UNESCO Headquarters (World Heritage Centre and the Africa Department) in coordination with the UNESCO field offices and in close collaboration with the African World Heritage Fund (AWHF), ICCROM and the Advisory Bodies (ICCROM, ICOMOS and IUCN). In line with UNESCO’s Global Priority on Gender Equality, this project will also aim to further women's active participation and empowerment.

It will support capacity building, the increase of African experts, and involve youth. The Secretariat will primarily support 11 countries with no properties on the WH List, assist 14 sites on the List of the WH in danger, mentoring experts and support conservation to achieve targets of the SDGs and Aspiration 5 of the Agenda 2063. Support will focus on the participation of the States Parties, the African World Heritage Fund, universities, experts, civil society, youth and other partners in celebrating the 50th anniversary of the 1972 Convention. The World Heritage Committee, through Decision 46 COM 10B, requested the World Heritage Centre and its partners to continue monitoring the implementation of the Third Cycle Regional Action Plan (2021–2027) and to prepare a final assessment report on its overall implementation for submission to the Committee in 2028. Furthermore, through Decision 47 COM 10, the Committee launched the Fourth Cycle of Periodic Reporting in Africa and underscored the importance of building upon the achievements, lessons learned and recommendations emerging from the Third Cycle. In this context, the budget allocated to the follow-up of the Third Cycle Regional Action Plan during the 2026–2027 biennium remains fully relevant and necessary. The proposed activities will not only support the completion of the Third Cycle by monitoring the implementation of the Regional Action Plan and documenting its results, but will also directly contribute to the successful implementation of the Fourth Cycle of Periodic Reporting in Africa. As one of the first regions to implement the renewed Periodic Reporting approach, sub-Saharan Africa, comprising 47 States Parties and 112 World Heritage properties at the launch of the Fourth Cycle, will play a leading role in operationalising the reforms adopted by the Committee. The follow-up activities will provide an opportunity to assess the extent to which States Parties have integrated and implemented the priorities of the Third Cycle Regional Action Plan at national and site levels, while simultaneously identifying remaining capacity-building needs, institutional gaps and emerging priorities to be addressed through the Fourth Cycle. The activities financed under this budget line therefore serve a dual purpose: (i) completing the monitoring and evaluation of the Third Cycle Regional Action Plan and informing the final assessment report to be submitted in 2028; and (ii) supporting the implementation of the Fourth Cycle by ensuring continuity of regional cooperation, strengthening national capacities, and providing an evidence-based foundation for the development and implementation of future regional priorities and action plans.FrancePlanned start date of the activityDate prévue de début de l'activitéUnited Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO)Core Data Portal Focal Pointcore@unesco.orgSECTOR FOR CULTUREXM-DAC-41304-A210522201United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO)Organisation des Nations unies pour l'éducation, la science et la culture (UNESCO)The 2026–2027 work plan aims to strengthen implementation of the 1972 Convention in East Africa by enhancing conservation capacities, promoting sustainable heritage management, increasing Africa’s representation on the World Heritage List, and supporting engagement of local communities, women and youth in heritage protection and promotion.Contributions to the Regular ProgrammePlanned start date of the activityDate prévue de début de l'activitéUnited Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO)Core Data Portal Focal Pointcore@unesco.orgSECTOR FOR CULTUREXM-DAC-41304-A210522211United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO)Organisation des Nations unies pour l'éducation, la science et la culture (UNESCO)In line with the recently submitted emergency nomination Dossier for Boma-Badingilo Migratory Landscape for inclusion on the World Heritage list in Feb 2026, UNESCO South Sudan Office will support and accompany the commitment of the national authorities to pursue its world heritage agenda to inscribe Boma-Badingilo Migratory Landscape as heritage in danger list.

Monitoring by the National Orientation Agency, independent fact-checking organizations, and social media analytics indicate that viral disinformation has surged by over 40% in key Northern and urban states, disproportionately affecting youth, women, and marginalized communities. Past election cycles demonstrate that misinformation contributes to local tensions, communal violence, and the disruption of democratic processes, with social cohesion and public safety particularly threatened in rural and peri-urban communities where viral narratives can escalate rapidly. It is imperative that stakeholders and citizens exhibit a range of functional and critical thinking skills related to Media and Information Literacy required to navigate the complex information landscape, fostering critical thinking, civic engagement, and ethical behavior towards achieving citizen effectiveness in the 21st century. This workplan aims at strengthening youth organizations, educational institutions, and media as frontline actors in Nigeria’s information ecosystem.

But it has also introduced evolving risks, with the unchecked spread of false and harmful content, including misinformation, disinformation, and hate speech (MDH). Political instability; unequal access to information ecosystems and new technologies; weak infrastructure; and low digital and media and information literacy (MIL) are challenges compounded by the misuse of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in digital spaces and the absence of strong protective frameworks, which undermine trust in public institutions and deepen societal divides. In this context, Ghana is part of the region and is not immune to the aforementioned challenges. Although there have been attempts to address the situation, these have been ad hoc and piecemeal. In September 2025, governments, national institutions, and stakeholders held a regional conference in Praia on information integrity in West Africa and the Sahel. The conference resulted in the development of the Praia Action Plan for Information Integrity in West Africa and the Sahel (2026–2036). The plan is designed to provide a coherent, inclusive and rights-based framework for strengthening the digital information ecosystem, rebuilding public trust and ensuring that no population group — particularly women and young people — is not left behind in the region's response to the growing challenges of information disorder. The plan presents a strategic roadmap for building resilient, inclusive and transparent information ecosystems across West Africa and the Sahel.Contributions to the Regular ProgrammePlanned start date of the activityDate prévue de début de l'activitéUnited Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO)Core Data Portal Focal Pointcore@unesco.orgSECTOR OF COMMUNICATION AND INFORMATIONXM-DAC-41304-A210684201United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO)Organisation des Nations unies pour l'éducation, la science et la culture (UNESCO)In Pakistan, increasing digital connectivity has expanded access to information and public participation, while also exposing citizens to disinformation, misinformation, and online hate speech.
