UNISS STRATEGIC PILLARS
LEARN MORE ABOUT OUR
MISSION
The United Nations integrated strategy for the Sahel is built around three broad areas of support formulated as strategic goals and organized according to key themes.
The Sahel, the vast semi-arid region of Africa separating the Sahara Desert to the north and tropical savannas to the south, is as much a land of opportunities as it is of challenges. It is endowed with abundant human, cultural and natural resources, offering tremendous potential for rapid growth.
Therefore, the United Nations Secretariat, Agencies, Funds, Programmes and Country Teams, are working assiduously with the people of the Sahel to meet their objective to establish a peaceful and prosperous Sahel. The UN is doing this under the auspices of the United Nations Integrated Strategy for the Sahel (UNISS), which is at the center of the international response in the Sahel in accordance with Security Council Resolution 2391 (2017).
INITIATIVES & ACTIVITIES
The UN has developed a results-focused multidimensional approach through the United Nations Integrated Strategy for the Sahel (UNISS), around key priorities in governance, security and resilience.
Our initiative is designed to address the root causes of the Sahel crisis while supporting national and regional capacities for peace building.
The Sustainable Development Goals are a call for action by all countries – poor, rich and middle-income – to promote prosperity while protecting the planet. They recognize that ending poverty must go hand-in-hand with strategies that build economic growth and address a range of social needs including education, health, social protection, and job opportunities, while tackling climate change and environmental protection. More important than ever, the goals provide a critical framework for COVID-19 recovery
The Sustainable Development Goals are the blueprint to achieve a better and more sustainable future for all.
