Agriculture will remain a central focus, given its critical role in economic recovery and inclusive growth. Efforts will include integrated support for food security, livelihoods, and nutrition-sensitive programming. The UN will help expand irrigation infrastructure, especially solar-powered boreholes, and promote the use of drought-resistant seeds, crop diversification, and stronger market linkages. Investments in value chains and scaling up of proven models will help boost productivity and resilience.

In tandem, there will be targeted support for skills development in the critical minerals sector and technical assistance to ensure that essential services are incorporated into the planning and implementation of the Lobito Corridor, a regional infrastructure project aimed at improving trade and connectivity between Zambia, Angola, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC).
