In 2022, US educational attainment showed that 74M Americans were high school graduates, while 42M had some college but no degree, and 56M held bachelor's degrees. Initiatives like the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act and the Higher Education Act (HEA) target these gaps by increasing education and skills training access, especially for underserved groups, aiming to close skill shortages and ensure workforce readiness in high-demand fields.

In response, initiatives like the Togo Urban Water Security project and the West Africa Coastal Areas Management Program aim to enhance water access and preserve marine ecosystems, reflecting a regional commitment to sustainable water management and improved resilience against climate change.
