At a time when the African continent faced unforeseen challenges that upset our world at global scale - the unprecedented global health emergency and socioeconomic fallout caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, challenges to peace and security, and climate change induced threats to livelihood and food security, Japan's unwavering support enabled UNDP to continue and scale-up the delivery of
much-needed assistance to vulnerable populations in the midst of compounded crises - often in new and innovative ways.

This TICAD 8 UNDP-Africa-Japan Impact Report provides an overview and highlights some of the key outcomes of UNDP-Japan funded projects implemented between 2019- 2021. The report covers projects across five thematic areas: implementing an inclusive and multisectoral response to COVID-19 and addressing its socio-economic impact; building a resilient and inclusive society; fostering peace and stability; supporting peacekeeping operations; and promoting free and democratic elections and institution building.
