The UNSDCF 2020-2025 outlines the UN development system´s collective commitment to support sustainable development in South Africa in line with national, regional, and global development priorities. It is aligned to South Africa´s long-term National Development Plan (NDP) 2030, which recognises the environment and science and technology as central drivers of change, and the Medium-Term
Strategic Framework (MTSF) 2019-2024 and firmly anchored in the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and the UN Charter. With this framework, the UN Country Team seeks to realise the UN Secretary-General´s reform at country level, through improving coordination, integration, and efficiency for real transformative impact for all people in South Africa. The framework´s overall goal is that people in South Africa live prosperous and healthy lives in a safe and cohesive society that protects and values environmental sustainability, which is underpinned by four strategic priorities.
