UNFPA East and Southern Africa, under the auspices of the Safeguard Young People Program has recently launched the ‘Climate HackLab’ project, which aims to empower young people and offer them the opportunity to be game-changers and drivers of a sustainable green future.

Through the UNFPA Climate HackLab project, young people are expected to come up with smart innovations that will help build resilience during times of adverse climate events in their communities.

The project solicits from young people aged between 14 and 35 creative and smart innovations or ideas that have the potential to be scaled up in East and Southern Africa.

Eligibility for participation

The innovation project is targeting young innovators, especially women and girls, who have innovative solutions that will accelerate efforts towards UNFPA’s goals of ending preventable maternal death, ending unmet need for family planning, and ending gender-based violence and harmful practices by 2030.
