Enroll for SDGs & Her Competition

SDGs & Her Competition:

Winners will receive leadership training, mentoring and will be flown to Washington DC, for an event at the World Bank Group-IMF Spring Meetings in April 2020, where they will showcase their achievements.

The objectives of the initiative are to:

recognize women implementing the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), including women business owners of microenterprises;

increase knowledge about the SDGs and their potential impacts on women among non-traditional audiences; and

collaborate with private sector partners on all SDGs, but SDG5 in particular; to share best practices and innovative ideas.

The first-ever SDGs&Her competition in 2018 attracted over 1,200 contenders through an online competition platform from 88 countries.

The 2019 contest attracted over 1,200 entries from all regions of the world: Sub-Saharan Africa, Latin America, and the Caribbean, South Asia, the Middle East and North Arica, Europe, and Central Asia, and East Asia and the Pacific.
