Winners of the competition present their ideas during the IMF & World Bank Annual Meetings, receive support from a dedicated startup accelerator at the Wharton School, and benefit from unique networking opportunities with other young leaders as well as some of the most senior decision-makers in international development, academia, and the private sector.Ideas for Action Africa recognizes the critical role of innovation and African youth in ending extreme poverty a way that none one is left behind, while building an environmental sustainability, across Africa. It seizes the opportunity granted by Ideas for Action to work on expending awareness and knowledge of the SDGs and the I4A Competition, in Africa. It's a call for SDGs –oriented ideas related to Africa but also a promise of the highest attention at top Africa-related proposals with an objective of facilitating implementation.
