South Africa's out-of-school children fell from over 1.3M in 2002 to 282K in 2017, owing to education reforms. However, the COVID-19 pandemic reversed this progress, with numbers rising to 963K by 2022\. The [National Development Plan](https://www.parliament.gov.za/storage/app/media/Pages/2023/27-02-2023%5FNCOP%5F2023%5FCommittees%5FStrategic%5FPlanning%5FSession/Resource%5FDocuments/The%5FNational%5FDevelopment%5FPlan%5FSimplified.pdf?ref=newsletters.qs.com) aims to achieve 90% literacy and numeracy by 2030, addressing challenges linked to increasing out-of-school children.

Brazil registered 2,934 electric and hybrid vehicles from 2006 to 2015, while in 2016, the country saw 3,300 registrations. In 2022, registrations grew by 42% from 2021, reaching 50,011, reflecting increasing adoption of cleaner transport.

Mexico's population share considered vulnerable due to inadequate access to health services decreased from nearly 40% in 2008 to 15.5% in 2016 but grew to 39% by 2022, largely due to COVID-19, which caused a rise to 28% in 2020\. In response, the government needs to adopt reforms aligning with the [Universal Health Coverage](https://www.who.int/news-room/fact-sheets/detail/universal-health-coverage-%28uhc%29?ref=newsletters.qs.com) program and increase focus on programs such as [Seguro Popular de Salud (SPS)](https://www.thinkglobalhealth.org/article/rise-and-fall-seguro-popular-mexicos-health-care-odyssey?ref=newsletters.qs.com).
