The Rural Youth Innovation Award already has its finalists for the 8 technical categories!*
This has been possible thanks to the support of 65 evaluators from 9 countries in the region, representatives of IFAD’s partner institutions, NGOs, private companies or foundations, international organizations, academia, and also ministries. All of them have accepted the challenge of evaluating the preselected initiatives.
With great pride and joy, we announce below the 16 initiatives names. They were selected for their innovation and commitment to rural development in Latin America and the Caribbean.
