Applications are open for the One Young World/AstraZeneca #Lead2030 Challenge for SDG 3 with a US$50 000 prize purse

Deadline: November 30, 2022

Applications are open for the One Young World/AstraZeneca Lead2030 Challenge for SDG 3. For this Challenge, they are seeking innovative, youth-led projects which tackle the causes of air pollution and focus on the long-term health of young people.
 
They are looking for:


Projects which focus on individual behaviour change, new technologies, or multi-stakeholder advocacy approaches to change laws/policies.

Sustainable solutions which can be scaled up to be implemented in other communities.

Projects should focus on cities or communities with high levels of air pollution or pollution-related illness. A preference will be given to projects which operate in a low- or lower-middle- income country or setting.

Projects should be youth-led, where young people (30 and under) are involved in the design or delivery of the initiative, and where the long-term health of young people is at the heart of the solution.

Projects should also focus equally on tackling air pollution (indoor or outdoor) and its link to long-term health.

Projects with a focus on the health of women and girls are preferred.

Prize

The winning solution will receive:
A US$50,000 grant from AstraZeneca Young Health Programme.

12 months of mentorship from a team of AstraZeneca Young Health Programme professionals.
