Between 2011 and 2016, more than 33,300 Africans lost their lives to violent extremism. The growth of violent extremism has set in motion a dramatic reversal of development gains in Africa, and is also threatening to stunt prospects of development for years to come. Africa bears the brunt of the impact of terrorism in lives lost, economies ruined and relationships fractured. Extremists target public spaces such as markets and bus stations, forcing people to make a choice between risking death by going to work, or risking the very survival of their families.
In response, the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) in Africa has developed a strategy to prevent and respond to violent extremism through a development lens.
In the photo exhibition, “Stories of Survivors,” the UNDP and photographer Malin Fezehai seek to shed light on and amplify the voices of those who often suffer in silence. Theirs are stories of resilience, perseverance and the triumph of humanity, as they rebuild their lives again. The survivors’ diverse religious, ethnic and national backgrounds highlight that violent extremism is a shared burden, and one that humanity, as a whole, must respond to.

As part of efforts to address the effects of climate change in Iraq, UNDP in partnership with the Iraqi Ministry of Health and Environment and in cooperation with the Maysan Governorate, is engaged in SDG Climate Facility project: Climate Action for Human Security project in Al Hwaizeh Marshlands with the support of the Regional Bureau for Arab States (RBAS) and funded by the Swedish International Development Agency (SIDA).
This national project aims to support the marshland communities against threats caused by climate change such as recurrent droughts. These dangers are considered a threat multiplier to the local population and a source of escalating poverty rates and cause of migration due to water scarcity and deterioration of the ecological system, which adversely affects livelihoods.

Nezaposlenost, loš kvalitet javnih usluga, korupcija te nepovoljno poslovno okruženje samo su neki od brojnih izazova sa kojima se Bosna i Hercegovina suočava. Ipak, u posljednjih nekoliko godina, odgovorniji pristup jednog broja lokalnih vlasti doveo je do značajnog poboljšanja kvalitete života stanovništva.
Napredak je dobrim dijelom ostvaren kroz projekat Lokalni integrisani razvoj, inicijativu koju u vrijednosti od 12 miliona KM finansira Evropska unija a realizuje Razvojni program Ujedinjenih nacija (UNDP) u saradnji sa 21 lokalnom zajednicom. Rezultati su vidljivi kroz nova radna mjesta, efikasniji rad lokalne samouprave, te kvalitetniju komunalnu infrastrukturu.
