Latin America stagnates in the Human Development Index below pre-pandemic levels
Latin America and the Caribbean scored 0.763 in the latest Human Development Index (HDI) by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), still below the pre-pandemic level of 0.768. Despite slight improvements, the region struggles to recover from the impacts of COVID-19 on health, education, and quality of life. Michelle Muschett, UNDP's regional director, highlighted the region's lack of resilience in recovering from the pandemic's shock. Globally, the HDI fell for the first time in history in 2020 and 2021 but has since recovered to a record high in 2023, though still below the pre-pandemic trend. The report also notes significant disparities between countries, with only half of the least developed countries recovering, while all OECD countries are projected to have recovered. In Latin America, 12 countries have regained or surpassed pre-pandemic development levels, with Mexico and Chile showing notable improvements. However, 21 countries in the region have yet to recover, with global polarization and stalled public policies impacting quality of life.

How Years of Government Failures Caused a Flood ‘Worse Than Boko Haram’
A catastrophic flood in Maiduguri, Nigeria, caused by the collapse of the Alau dam, has been attributed to years of government negligence and mismanagement. Despite repeated warnings from engineers and local residents about the dam's deteriorating condition, officials failed to take corrective action. The disaster resulted in significant loss of life and displacement, with up to 1,000 people killed and nearly half a million displaced. The flood has exacerbated existing challenges in the region, including food and water shortages, and has drawn attention to the need for urgent maintenance of over 300 other dams in Nigeria. The Nigerian government has faced criticism for its handling of the situation, with promises of future action to prevent similar disasters.

How smuggling undermines Malawi’s clean energy agenda and SDGs
The article discusses the challenges faced by Malawi in its pursuit of clean energy due to the influx of substandard and smuggled products.

The Malawi Revenue Authority has reported an increase in smuggling cases, with 419 incidents in the 2023 financial year. The article highlights the stories of John Sailesi and Mariana Sakala, who suffered due to unreliable goods. The United Nations Development Programme and other organizations emphasize the need for investment in clean energy and the importance of testing technologies.

Deforestation Hits Rural Zimbabweans with Wood Shortage
Rural communities in Zimbabwe, such as those in Chimanimani, face severe wood shortages due to deforestation, which is exacerbated by the reliance on wood for energy. The Zimbabwe Forestry Commission reports significant annual deforestation rates, while the United Nations Development Programme highlights the heavy dependence on wood for cooking and heating. Despite laws against tree cutting, villagers like Linet Makwera struggle to find wood, resorting to illegal means or purchasing from sellers like Tigere Mhike. Environmental experts, including Batanai Mutasa, advocate for alternative energy solutions like tsotso stoves and biogas to alleviate the crisis. However, economic challenges, including high unemployment, limit access to these alternatives.

More than half of Angolan women victims of violence do not report their aggressors
In Angola, a significant majority of women who experience violence do not report it, with only 26% seeking police help. Factors such as poverty, lack of education, and inadequate state response contribute to this silence. The Ministry of Justice and Human Rights, in collaboration with the UNDP, highlighted these issues at a recent seminar. Clarisse Kaputu, a member of the Parliamentary Women's Group, and social activist Laura Macedo emphasize the need for stronger institutions and criticize the police's inadequate response. Cultural and educational factors also play a role in the lack of reporting, as noted by social analyst Elson de Carvalho.
