Designed as a virtual, pan-African innovation space, the SDG Innovation Challenge is a powerhouse for young Africans to develop cross-boundary, sustainable solutions to grassroots challenges that further social impact and contribute towards the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

Competition Details

Innovation is a force that sets the engine of sustainable development running, uncovering initiatives that build resilience, contribute to more equitable resource distribution, further inclusion, alleviate environmental stress, and so on! Moreover, and in alignment with SDG 17 (Partnerships for the Goals), they emphasize collaboration and partnerships as a central axis around which their efforts are oriented.

In collaboration with the Global Goals Week (20-29 September 2024), the SDG Innovation Challenge supports the annual week of action, awareness, and accountability for the Sustainable Development Goals, promising to join hands with local, regional, and global partners to nurture fresh thinking and supercharge sustainable, inclusive solutions for people and the planet.

Under the theme Bridging Social Innovation Gaps: Propelling Youth-led Innovations for Sustainable Development the SDG Innovation Challenge 2024 converges young talent with three primary goals:

  • To trigger fresh thinking by connecting innovators from diverse backgrounds and sectors.
  • To develop practical, impact-oriented startups/projects through cross-boundary collaboration.
  • To ignite transformative change towards sustainable development and improved livelihoods of communities across Africa.
