UNDP West and Central Africa | Annual Report 2020
2020, a year of opposing narratives.
Influenced in large part by the pandemic, everything we knew and loved changed.
Our work and those we support suddenly flung into a new world. One with little contact, narrowing opportunities and many vulnerable people.
This spurred a new approach for many and for us an urgency to intensify support to those in the region and cushion the effects of the pandemic.
Now, as the world pivots from response to recovery, we take a moment to reflect on the year 2020 – our resilient team, our achievements, the challenges that remain and most importantly, those whom we serve.
This is the UNDP Sub-Regional Hub for West and Central Africa in 2020.
