At the G20 Social Summit, speakers presented legacy projects to empower African youth and women amid challenges like unemployment, limited venture capital, and inadequate infrastructure. Key initiatives include UNDP's Timbuktu program supporting 10,000 startups through innovation centers, policy reforms, and a $1 billion catalytic fund; a global health gap financing mechanism for women and children; sports-for-development community hubs; a Pan-African sovereign wealth fund for infrastructure; and digital higher education scholarships expanding access for millions. These efforts, aligned with SDGs and Agenda 2063, aim to create jobs, boost economies, and impact over 100 million lives for lasting transformation.
