Finalists announced for contest on reshaping development pathways in LDCs

Share

Earlier this year, 63 proposals were submitted to the “reshaping development pathways in LDCs” contest run in partnership with Global Resilience Partnership, UK aid, and UN Climate Resilience Initiative A2R. They sought proposals on how to reshape development pathways for the overall achievement of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. They called for innovative, scalable solutions and best practices to restore degraded ecosystems, helping vulnerable communities in Least Developed Countries (LDCs) become more climate resilient.

Expert Judges selected 6 proposals to advance as Finalists. Finalist proposals are now eligible for a round of public voting, which will be used to select the Popular Choice Winner.  Read more about the contest here.

We commend the Finalists for all their hard work and accomplishment over the last several months.  Congratulations!
