Had a lively discussion on the post #2030Agenda at the sidelines of #HLPF2026 🔸What have we learned from the Sustainable Development Goals-Agenda 2030 framework? 🔸What do we want to continue with? What do we want to leave behind? 🔸And more importantly how can we engage consistently, meaningfully and impactfully? #HLPF #HLPF2026 #AfricanFeministStories #FeministsWantSystemChange

Day 5⃣ of the #HLPF2026 Color Campaign | #Agenda2030 With less than five years to deliver the #GlobalGoals, there is no time to reverse hard-won gains. @FemnetProg joins the global feminist movement in calling for renewed commitment to #Agenda2030, grounded in human rights, gender justice, and accountability. Achieving the SDGs requires protecting civic space, resisting anti-rights backlash, investing in feminist movements, and ensuring no one is left behind. #Agenda2030 is a promise to people and the planet. It’s time to deliver. #HLPF #HLPF2026 #AfricanFeministStories #FeministsWantSystemsChange

📢💙🇺🇳 Week 1⃣of #HLPF2026 is officially a wrap! Today, we are wearing Dark Blue for SDG 1⃣7⃣, but we aren't celebrating business-as-usual. We are calling out the austerity gripping global governance and demanding a radical reset for #UN80. African feminists are demanding: 🛑 Absolute protection of UN human rights mandates. 🌅 A sunrise, not a sunset, for UNAIDS. ❌ An outright rejection of the UNFPA-UN Women merger. 🌍 A UN centered on "We the Peoples," not bureaucratic budget cuts. Global partnerships mean nothing if our feminist spaces and agencies are shrunk. Stand with us in your dark blue today! ✊🏾💙 #HLPF #HLPF2026 #AfricanFeministStories #FeministsWantSystemsChange

📢Last week, we gathered in Zimbabwe for the Regional Ecofeminist Convening 2026—a powerful space where care, healing, solidarity, and collective action came together to reimagine a just feminist climate transition through ecofeminist principles. Our heartfelt appreciation to The SHINE Collab team for convening and nurturing such an intentional space where every voice mattered, every story was honoured, and every conversation moved us closer to climate justice. The conversations may have ended, but the movement continues. Together, we will keep weaving hope, resistance, and transformative action for people and planet. #FeministClimateJustice #Femonomics

End of an era, but make it impactful! 🌍✨ Last week, the #EUYSBKenya gathered for a powerful reflections meeting with the incredible, outgoing H.E. Ambassador Henriette Geiger @EUAmbKenya. As both her remarkable tenure and the YSB-Ke Cohort 1 come to a close, we looked back on an unforgettable ride. We shared key lessons learned, best practices adopted, and and celebrated the incredible milestones that proved just how vital youth voices are in shaping policy! 🎉Let’s just say the future of youth leadership is looking brighter than ever! 🚀 From groundbreaking ideas to lifelong connections, we’ve loved every minute of shaping the youth agenda together. 🥂🇰🇪🇪🇺 #META #EUYSBKenya #YouthDrivenChangeKe

🔎To make this vision a reality, we must demand: 🔹Inclusive, gender-responsive policies in local languages. 🔹Transparent budgets & accountability for state commitments. 🔹Regulated private sector accountability to communities. Achieving this requires deep, structural partnerships across civil society, regional blocs, and multilateral institutions. Let’s co-create a just transition! ✊🏾⚡ #HLPF #HLPF2026 #AfricanFeministStories #FeministsWantSystemsChange

Imagining a Feminist Future for Water & Energy | #HLPF2026 🌍 What does a feminist future look and feel like? 💧 🌍Universal access to safe water & sustainable energy. 📊 Decentralized, community-driven energy systems. 🔃Intersectional gender data driving accountability. 👩🏾‍🤝‍👩🏿Women & girls leading local solutions. Water & energy are not a favor—they are #HumanRights. We need a rights-based approach to ensure no one is left behind! 🧵👇🏾 #HLPF #HLPF2026 #AfricanFeministStories #FeministsWantSystemsChange

💡Food for thought: #GenderEquality should never have been confined to SDG 5⃣ alone. It belongs across every single goal. With only 4 years left until 2030, #SustainableDevelopment is only possible when the data, funding, and policies advance the rights and leadership of women and girls. #HLPF #HLPF2026 #AfricanFeministStories #FeministsWantSystemsChange

How do we fix this? 💡 African feminists and partners are highlighting clear pathways forward: 🤝 Deepen collaboration between NSOs, civil society, & research hubs. 📑 Integrate gender metrics across all national policy frameworks. 🏛️ Localize gender-responsive plans. 🗣️ Center women & girls in shaping these thematic data spaces. #HLPF #HLPF2026 #AfricanFeministStories #FeministsWantSystemsChange

Live from #HLPF2026 at the side event on "Advancing Gender Indicators for SDG Implementation and Accountability."📊✨ The truth is stark: what is not measured is not prioritized, and what is not prioritized does not get funded. Gender data isn’t just about numbers—it’s about visibility, accountability, and political action. #HLPF #HLPF2026 #AfricanFeministStories #FeministsWantSystemsChange

"We call on Member States and stakeholders to formally recognise and invest in the care economy, ensuring unpaid care work is measured, valued, and resourced, rather than left as an unaccounted-for subsidy to the SDGs. Fiscal justice is the foundation of SDG acceleration in Africa." #HLPF #HLPF2026 #AfricanFeministStories #FeministWantSystemChange

"Women remain structurally excluded from the gains of Africa's economies. Their unpaid care work continues to subsidise the state, yet remains absent from national accounts and SDG financing frameworks. What is not counted is not financed. What is not financed will not be delivered by 2030." #HLPF #HLPF2026 #AfricanFeministStories #FeministWantSystemChange

"SDG acceleration in Africa is not possible without fiscal justice." Live from #HLPF2026, African feminists are demanding a radical overhaul of the global financial architecture. The current system is built on the backs of women's unpaid labor, while crushing African economies under the weight of unsustainable debt. 👇🏾🧵Here is what @FemnetProg and @Women_Rio20 Africa are calling for on the UN floor #HLPF #HLPF2026 #AfricanFeministStories #FeministWantSystemChange
