The Africa Adaptation Acceleration Program, a joint initiative of the African Development Bank and the Global Center on Adaptation, is calling for applications for the third edition of the YouthADAPT Challenge.

The challenge which seeks to support young entrepreneurs driving solutions to tackle climate change, invites young entrepreneurs leading micro, small, and medium enterprises in Africa to submit innovative solutions and business ideas that can drive climate change adaptation and resilience across the continent.

According to a statement on the website of the bank, this year’s call focuses on female-owned enterprises pioneering Fourth Industrial Revolution technologies such as artificial intelligence; big data analytics; virtual reality; robotics; internet of things; quantum computing; additive manufacturing; blockchain, and fifth-generation wireless for climate adaptation.
