The Position: The UNFPA Regional Office for East and Southern Africa established a Multi-Country Middle-Income Country Hub (MIC-Hub), based in Johannesburg, as part of its regional transformation agenda to optimize technical efficiency, strengthen programmatic impact and enhance tailored policy support to Country Offices operating in middle-income context, to strengthen the efficiency and effectiveness of its presence and programme support in the region. The MIC Hub provides unique technical expertise and programme advisory services to Country Offices based in a select group of middle income countries in Southern Africa, i.e. Botswana, Eswatini, Mauritius, Namibia, Seychelles and South Africa. Many of these countries are undergoing a demographic transition characterized by a youthful population, highlighting the opportunity to realize a demographic dividend through sustained investments in education, health and employment. Persistent inequalities (spanning income, gender, geography and access to services) continue to limit inclusion and productivity gains. Addressing these disparities requires integrated socio-economic policies that connect demographic realities with equitable access to opportunities and decent work creation. In this context, a shift from fragmented, short-term funding to sustainable national and blended financing architectures is essential to translate demographic opportunity into durable development outcomes. The MIC-Hub catalyzes this shift by aligning policy advice, programme design and financing solutions that promote inclusion and sustainable development outcomes in MIC settings.   How you can make a difference: UNFPA is the lead United Nations agency for delivering a world where every pregnancy is intended, every childbirth is safe, and every young person's potential is fulfilled.
