Ideas for Action Competition, 2015

oday’s youth will be responsible for delivering the post-2015 development agenda, also known as the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), which will replace the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) when they expire at the end of 2015. The SDGs will be more ambitious than the MDGs, covering a broad range of interconnected issues, from sustainable economic growth, to social issues, to global public goods. To realize this vision, a just-as-ambitious plan for financing and implementation is needed. Youth engagement throughout the design and implementation process is critical for success. The Ideas for Action (I4A) competition engages young people around the world to encourage them to develop and share their ideas for financing solutions to deliver the post-2015 development agenda.

Prize
Winners of the competition will be given an opportunity to influence the post-2015 financing discussions and its implementation, including:

- Present winning proposal at the IMF/World Bank Spring and/or Annual Meetings in April and October 2015, respectively
- Engagement with experts from development organizations, academia, and business on finance for development post-2015
- Participation in a boot camp, where the winners will visit a company, organization or university to take part in specific project implementation and get hands on experience
