We have officially commenced Phase II of the Northwest Prevention Facility Project with a successful community entry mission to Kebbi State. Led by @AshrafUsman_, Head of the Northwest Programme, the delegation engaged state MDAs, security agencies, local government authorities, traditional, religious, community leaders and representatives from affected communities in the frontline LGAs. These engagements generated critical insights into local conflict dynamics and resilience efforts, established strong implementation pathways, and aligned the Facility with state priorities.  Together, we are co‑creating context‑specific solutions that strengthen collaboration, build resilience, and advance sustainable peace, security, and development across #KebbiState. Thanks to @GERinNigeria for the continuous support.

Post-harvest loss continues to limit the income of smallholder farmers across Nigeria. To address this, Ebubechukwu developed Baza ng, a digital platform that links farmers to consumers, improving market access, reducing waste and strengthening the supply chain. By deploying field agents to onboard farmers from their communities, Baza ng helps ensure produce is visible, accessible and efficiently delivered. Ebube’s solution reflects a growing movement of youth-led innovation transforming agriculture from the ground up. Through the Young Africa Innovates Programme, she has gained mentorship, visibility and a network of peers shaping the future of agritech. The programme implemented by UNDP Nigeria in partnership with the Mastercard Foundation provides technical and financial support to young innovators solving real societal challenges.

Today in Lagos, we crossed an important threshold. I had the honour of delivering remarks on behalf of @UNDPNigeria at the launch of Africa's first parametric flood insurance solution - designed to benefit 4 million residents with rapid payouts of up to $7.5m triggered automatically when severe flooding occurs. Immense gratitude to @followlasg for the bold ownership that made this possible, and to @BMZ_Bund and #InsuranceDevelopmentForum (IDF) for the partnership and funding support. Proud of everything @UNDPNigeria and our partners built together. #LagosFloodInsurance #ClimateResilience #UNDPNigeria #DisasterRiskFinancing

Zambians love home. The country has high poverty levels (economic recovery is being reported by the IMF); but it has one of Africa’s lowest emigration rates. Only around 122,000 Zambians live abroad (just 0.59% of the population) as of mid-2024; barely changed since 2020. Yet it hosts 249,000 immigrants.

In Maiduguri, Borno State, charcoal remains a common cooking fuel but it comes at a high cost. It drives deforestation, strains household income and exposes families to dangerous fumes. Khadija is offering a cleaner, more affordable alternative by transforming organic waste into eco-friendly briquettes. Her solution lowers cooking costs, reduces health risks and promotes a circular economy that turns waste into value. Through the Young Africa Innovates Programme, implemented by ‌UNDP, in partnership with the Mastercard Foundation, she’s gaining the support needed to expand her impact and bring clean energy options to more households.

Today, we made history. Africa's first parametric flood insurance solution is live! The #LagosFlood Risk Insurance Solution is a replicable model, one that other Nigerian states and African cities can adapt to manage their own climate and disaster risks. Today’s launch in Lagos has the potential to reshape disaster risk financing across an entire continent. The blueprint exists. We now need to scale it. Immense gratitude to @followlasg for the bold ownership and leadership, #InsuranceDevelopmentForum for world-class technical expertise in risk modelling and design, @GermanyDiplo for funding support, and other partners for demonstrating the strength of Nigeria's private sector in delivering solutions that truly matter.

Being selected for the Young Africa Innovates Programme was a breakthrough for Daniel. For him, this meant access to mentorship, a network of fellow innovators and practical tools to scale what started as a passion into a real agribusiness. Through his enterprise Mayal Organics, Daniel works with local farmers to source produce, reduce post-harvest losses and create high-quality products like mushroom tea, flour meals and spice blends. His mission is twofold: tackle food insecurity and create jobs across Nigeria’s agricultural value chain. The programme, led by UNDP in partnership with the Mastercard Foundation, is focused on identifying, incubating and investing in underrepresented youth with high-impact solutions.

Only 10% of Nigeria’s 2.5 million tons of annual plastic waste gets recycled. The rest? It clogs our drainage systems, pollutes our environment and threatens our health. But young innovators like Victoria Francis are changing that, starting from the streets of Akwa Ibom. Through Plastic Cultured, she and her team are turning collected waste into fuel, mattresses and plastic bins. Their innovation is about more than just recycling; it’s about creating jobs, protecting the environment and building cleaner communities for residents and tourists alike. Thanks to the Young Africa Innovates Programme, Victoria now has the support, mentorship and tools to scale her idea and push for a zero plastic waste culture across Nigeria. In partnership with the Mastercard Foundation, we’re empowering atypical and underrepresented innovators  especially young women and community-based change makers to build solutions that work.
