An expanding access to sustainable energy across #SierraLeone is helping power communities & productivity 💡
For Maseray Turay, shop owner in Kambia, it means more customers, higher income & better quality of life “Now I keep my shop open until 11pm.”

Insights from the visit will help lay the technical foundation for a pilot solar waste management system, supporting the safe and sustainable handling of solar-related e-waste. 🔋♻️

As #SierraLeone 🇸🇱 expands access to off-grid #SolarEnergy, sustainable waste management is essential.
Through the #EU-funded #SOGREA project, government, regulatory & academic leaders from 🇸🇱 completed a 5-day study visit to Madrid 🇪🇸 on solar PV & battery waste management.

In #Conakry 🇬🇳, a road is rarely just a stretch of asphalt
For many, it is the first step towards safety, sustainable livelihoods & a better life 🛣️
For Barry, it meant his business tripled in two years. Now, he’s mentoring youth, giving them skills to build a future at home.

It’s been #3YearsTooLong. A brutal civil war that’s left communities across #Sudan utterly devastated.
Civilians are still being killed. The healthcare system has largely collapsed. Extreme poverty is rapidly increasing. And we’re witnessing the world's largest displacement and hunger crisis, with +24 million people facing acute food insecurity.
Enough. Let’s not allow this to be an abandoned crisis.
The international community must urgently step up support – to help find the solutions needed to end this conflict, protect civilians, and avert a further humanitarian catastrophe.

Water is life
💧 #WorldWaterDay
Across Africa, @UNOPS works with governments and partners to restore WASH services, build climate-resilient infrastructure and expand urban water systems.
From Tigray to Freetown, water access is transforming lives and strengthening #resilience and #Equality.

🌳🌳 On today’s International Day of Forests @UNOPS renews its commitment to protect world's forests and the people living in them.
Forests are essential to provide ecosystem services - capturing CO2, protecting biodiversity and providing clean air and water. But forests also drive economic prosperity and generate jobs.
We must protect forests and we must support the people who live in them to have basic services.
A special emphasis is needed on tropical forests: 1) They regulate the systems we all rely on. 2) But the dramatic loss of tropical forests further enhances climate change, biodiversity loss and water insecurity.
That’s why it is so crucial to fully implement the truly ambitious “Tropical Forest Forever Facility” launched at #COP30 in #Brazil.

L’accès à l’eau potable devrait être un droit, mais pour trop de personnes, c'est un privilège.
Découvrez comment @UNOPS_SL et @JapanGov améliorent l’accès à l’eau pour des résidentes et résidents de Freetown, en #SierraLeone.
