Strong service delivery systems ensure children and families receive quality healthcare, education, and social protection. However, in Sub-Saharan Africa, fragile systems especially in conflict and displacement-affected regions leave millions without access to essential services. Strengthening these systems is critical to breaking cycles of poverty and vulnerability.

• Over 50% of children in Sub-Saharan Africa lack access to essential health services (WHO, 2023)
• More than 32 million children remain out of school due to weak education systems (UNESCO, 2023)
• 80% of conflict-affected populations in Africa face disruptions in healthcare and basic services (World Bank, 2023)
• Investing in service delivery can reduce mortality rates by 30% and improve education outcomes by 40% (UNDP, 2022)
