Innovators residing in Eastern and Southern Africa, including Uganda, and specified Western and Central African countries may apply. Concepts, prototypes and early pilots are eligible. Teams of two to five are encouraged, with female leadership and gender balance prioritized. The official summary states ages 18–35, while its detailed criteria state 18–24; applicants need provider clarification of the applicable age limit.
This innovation challenge supports youth-led solutions addressing harmful practices, gender-based violence and digital safety. Selected teams develop their ideas through mentorship and pitch to continental development partners.
Benefits
Four winners receive USD 5,000–10,000 each. Support includes virtual mentorship, pitch coaching, investor matchmaking and visibility through partner media channels.
Requirements
Team member details; one challenge theme; a problem statement of up to 200 words; innovation description of up to 700 words; twelve-month roadmap; and a digital safety and inclusion statement addressing accessibility, privacy and safeguarding.
How to apply
Submit the official online form with the required team and innovation information by 23:59 CAT. Shortlisted teams participate in virtual support and the final pitching process.
Explore opportunities from Uganda and abroad. Location describes where an opportunity is based; check the official eligibility rules to confirm whether Ugandan, African or other international applicants can apply.
Compare undergraduate, master's and PhD awards by eligible nationality, subject and funding coverage. A tuition waiver does not necessarily cover living costs, insurance or travel. For medical study, confirm the exact degree and whether clinical training is included. High school awards have different age and admission requirements from university scholarships.
For US universities offering full scholarships, check the university's international admissions and financial aid pages. Confirm whether admission and funding require separate applications, and whether support is renewable each year.
For internships in Europe or elsewhere, check nationality and enrolment requirements, the stipend, accommodation and travel coverage. Paid does not necessarily mean fully funded. Remote internships may still restrict the countries where participants can work. To intern abroad without programme fees, compare direct employer applications and check which costs you must pay yourself.
For summer placements, verify the start date and application year in the official call. Search the listings for a provider or subject, such as Expedia, EU delegation traineeships or agriculture in Germany, and confirm availability with that organisation.
Check the posting date, closing date, duty station and required experience. For jobs with no experience, look for an explicit entry-level or graduate requirement; an urgent vacancy may still require experience. Verify American Embassy vacancies through the embassy's official recruitment service and New Vision vacancies against the original employer notice.
Use the intake and deadline in each listing when comparing 2026 and 2027 opportunities. A 2022 notice is historical unless the provider has published a new call. Before applying to Yale Young African Scholars or an opportunity described as a UNICEF scholarship, verify the programme name, funding and current eligibility directly with the organisation. A search phrase alone does not confirm an available award.
