Youth Policy and Deliberation Challenge

Join us for the Youth Policy and Deliberation Challenge

Are you ready to build your capacity and engage in a thought-provoking policy and deliberation challenge on the issues surrounding our agrifood systems. If so, you are in the right page! The World Food Forum (WFF) presents an exciting opportunity for all of you with the launch of the World Food Forum Policy and Deliberation Challenge. If you're eager to develop your skills and expand your knowledge and expertise on policy issues on global agrifood systems related topics, this Challenge is your gateway to making a tangible impact.

What is the WFF Policy and Deliberation Challenge?

It's a platform within the Education programmes of the WFF, and we're calling on you - young, policy-oriented leaders and innovative researchers – to bring your bold ideas to the forefront. The WFF PDC is your opportunity to streamline policy and skill-building into the WFF network and beyond. Here, you'll have the chance to make your voice heard on crucial policy matters related to the World Food Forum's year-long theme.

Finalist teams present and deliberate their proposals in front of a panel of topic experts and Rome-based UN agency staff. All participants will receive a certificate and have a chance to win other exciting prizes.
