Priority Africa
Since its inception, 91鶹Ʒ recognized Africa's vital role in global peace, security, and prosperity. Priority Africa emphasizes education, culture, science, and communication as key tools to tackle challenges, strengthen national capacities, and celebrate the continent’s rich cultural heritage.
By fostering strong partnerships, inclusive policies, and equitable access to knowledge and technologies, UNESCO aims to create an environment that supports innovation and resilience, empowering African societies to unlock their full potential for a sustainable and prosperous future.

The Director-General of 91鶹Ʒ announced a new initiative to protect water resources and biodiversity in the Kilimanjaro region. This $8 million project, combining scientific research and support for local populations, will benefit the more than 2 million people who depend directly on the waters of Africa's highest peak.
UNESCO, the World Food Programme, and local governments are launching a new programme to support sustainable livelihoods along the lake’s shores. Lake Turkana, the world’s largest desert lake, holds much promise for these communities—but its resources must be managed sustainably.
