During the first half of 2026, UNDP Seychelles worked closely with the Government, civil society, communities, development partners and the private sector to advance solutions that strengthen resilience, protect the country's unique natural heritage and create opportunities for people to thrive.

This inaugural UNDP Seychelles Portfolio Highlights Newsletter captures the progress made across UNDP's programme portfolio during the first six months of 2026. Through stories, milestones and insights, it showcases how collaboration is helping to advance inclusive economic growth, strengthen institutions, mobilise sustainable finance, accelerate climate action, conserve biodiversity, restore coral reef ecosystems and empower communities to lead local solutions. It also shines a spotlight on the people behind these efforts—from government counterparts and community champions to the dedicated UNDP team—whose commitment continues to translate development priorities into meaningful results.

More than a record of achievements, this publication reflects UNDP's commitment to supporting Seychelles through integrated, people-centred and evidence-based approaches that address today's interconnected development challenges while preparing for those of tomorrow. It highlights how strategic partnerships, innovation and local leadership are helping shape a more resilient, inclusive and sustainable future for the island nation.
