UNESCO call for ideas : ten ideas for tomorrow's Africa

UNESCO has launched a call for ideas for proposals in favour of Africa’s development within the next decade. Proposals are invited by 30 April 2010.


Ten ideas will be selected by an international jury and presented by their author(s) during ten small-scale conferences to be held at UNESCO Headquarters, in mid-June 2010.

Each proposal is expected to develop one idea which would amplify the positive effects and reduce, or contain, the negative impacts of the major trends observed in Africa on one of the 10 following topics:

  • Economy and Development (Environment, Food Security, New Information and Communication Technologies…)
  • Governance, Policy, Institutions, Leadership
  • Regional Integration, Population, Migration, Urbanization
  • Cultural Identities (Languages, Religions…)
  • Youth
  • Human Rights, Gender and Justice
  • Diaspora
  • Peace, Security and Conflict
  • Health, Education and Social Development
  • International relations
