It was a pleasure to meet with H.E Elias M. Magosi, Executive Secretary of the Southern Africa Development Community (SADC) on the sidelines of the Africa Biodiversity Summit, in Gaborone.
I reaffirmed @UNDP’s commitment to operationalizing the MoU signed with SADC in Feb. 2025. We also explored the possibility of joint or collaborative programming focusing on aligned priorities and complementarities, focusing on:
🔵 Strengthening the governance mechanisms including digital infrastructure and implementation of the Data Governance Compact
🔵Support SADC members states readiness for carbon/biodiversity markets and the private capital
🔵Effective operationalization of the #AfCFTA to link SADC trade and industrial priorities to continental implementation
UNDP Botswana retweeted
The “Africa We Want” will be underpinned by innovation and technology, and the agency of our young people. It was truly inspiring to witness @UBBotswana's investment in young people through the @timbuktooafrica University Unipod.
The intentionality of creating spaces within the universities to support and nurture young people as problem-solvers and trailblazing innovators is key to unlocking Africa's industrial revolution and ensuring that our youth are market-ready.
When governments invest in homegrown solutions and ideas, Africa is set to benefit through scalable impact that touches the entire population, generations and economies.

Thank you, Hon. Ndaba Gaolathe, Vice President and Minister of Finance of Botswana, for an insightful meeting.
I congratulate the country for the timely and comprehensive nationwide consultative process towards the development of Botswana's Economic Transformation Programme and 12th National Devt Plan. I also commend @BWGovernment for the launch of the Energy Compact and for its involvement of the private sector through innovative financing models.
@UNDP will continue to partner with the government and people of Botswana in unlocking the much-needed private capital for energy transition, enhancing youth entrepreneurship and innovation through @timbuktooafrica and providing technical support to strengthen evidence and real-time monitoring of development programmes in line with UNDP’s commitment to supporting the country's national priorities within the UN Cooperation Framework (2027-2031).
