| Summary: | This report presents the results of the
2017 Ideas for Action (I4A) initiative, a youth competition
on financing for development that was jointly organized by
the World Bank Group and the Zicklin Center for Business
Ethics Research at the Wharton School of the University of
Pennsylvania. This is the third year of the competition, and
the 2017 winners were selected from among 743 proposals from
118 countries. Today’s youth have the most at stake in
achieving the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, and
its associated Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The
world’s youth will implement this global agenda,
contributing their unique solutions and shaping their future
and ours. The I4A competition encourages young people from
around the world to develop and share their ideas for
innovative approaches, through the smart use of technology,
as well as financing solutions, to solve development
challenges. The winners were selected through a vigorous
three-stage selection process evaluating the creativity,
significance, feasibility, and clarity of the proposals. |
