Young Voices Fellowship Awards 2023
Are you a 12-17 year old with a passion to create a better future? Then the NGFP Young Voices award is the perfect opportunity for you!
They are looking for young people with innovative ideas and projects to make the world a better place. They recognize the immense potential young people have to shape the world and they are eager to listen, learn and support you as you embark on your foresight journey.
So, if you are curious about how the world is changing, have a desire to translate innovative ideas about the future into action and make a difference in your community, and are willing to become an ambassador for a more sustainable future, they can’t wait to hear from you!
Foresight is a systematic way of engaging with uncertainty by exploring alternative futures, including aspirational ones. As a discipline, it has the potential to shape the future. It is not about predicting the future, but understanding your current and future operating environment. Insights gained from foresight equip communities and organisations to recognise and respond to emerging threats and opportunities by developing enhanced competitiveness, resilience and agility.
A foresight practitioner is anyone who takes a futures approach to their work to explore and understand the impacts of longer-term factors and drivers of change on the future, to understand better how different futures might evolve, and to generate insights for decisions made today.
Today, the futures and foresight field is still largely dominated by Global North voices from older generations. However, better, fairer and more equitable futures for all.
NGFP is committed to providing a platform for the development and support of younger generations of futures and foresight practitioners, particularly from the Global South. Their needs, experiences, perspectives and methods must equally inform the pathways towards their collective preferred futures.
Benefits
- Amazing benefits will be given to the winner. Please go through their website to know details.
Eligibilities
- Open for all young people of 12-17 year old
Eligible Regions: Open for all

The Baobab Network Accelerator 2023
Applications for the Baobab Network Accelerator 2023 are now open. The Baobab Network Accelerator seeks to invest in the next generation of African tech entrepreneurs.
The Baobab Network is looking for scalable technology solutions, for-profit enterprises with purpose, and early-stage companies built in Africa.
The Baobab Network prefers to see tech-oriented start-ups that have built a minimum viable product (MVP) and have some early traction. If applicants are at the idea stage, they should at least have validated market demand for the product or service. The validation can be in the form of sign-ups from users, a client waiting list that can be verified, offline purchases, and other types of evidence confirming that customers are willing to pay for the product.
Each accelerator program starts with 2 weeks of intensive consulting from The Baobab Network, followed by 3 months of hands-on support from their venture partners and their network of partners/experts. The program is remote to ensure founders are not taken away from their businesses for extended periods of time.
Venture Partners are individuals with relevant startup experience across Africa. They are responsible for managing the start-up’s acceleration program and work remotely to provide strategic advice and hands-on support. The Venture Partner will help leverage the skills and experience of the wider Baobab Network team and our global network of corporate and investment partners.
The Baobab Network works with early-stage tech start-ups across Africa. What does that mean? If anyone’s solution creates or relies on technology to solve a problem, and has an MVP and a bit of traction they are welcome to apply.
The Baobab Network don’t expect applicants to be turning a profit at this stage, but revenue is expected as people paying for the product tell them that they are solving a real market problem.
The Baobab Network is a tech accelerator for Africa. They don’t mind if the target market is outside Africa, as long as that is based in Africa and is led and run by an African team.
The Baobab Network provide as much advice and support as it can but at the end of the day, they trust their founders are best placed to steer their companies.

Youth Leader Focus Group Discussion
YSA officially launched the 50% Youth Participation by America250 (50by250) capaign with a Partner Summit during our annual Youth Service Institute.
The goal of the 50by250 campaign is to increase youth participation rates in volunteering and service, voting and civic engagement, and joining and leadership to at least 50% by America's Semiquincentennial on July 4, 2026. Even though youth participation rates are at or near record-high levels, we’re still leaving 3 of every 4 young people out of actively working together for the common good. Opportunities to participate are even fewer for young people of color, youth from underserved low-income families & communities, and other youth not usually asked to serve.
Listen to a youth-facilitated focus group discussion of young leaders about the barriers to youth participation in their communities, and how we can all do more to increase youth participation by personally asking all young people to participate, teaching the knowledge & skills they need to effectively participate, addressing systemic equity & access issues, and telling the story of youth changing the world to motivate and inspire others to participate.
Welcome & Introductions
Topic 1: How would you describe the state of youth participation today? What do you hope youth participation might look like by 2026?
Topic 2: What do you think inspires youth to get involved? What issues are most important to you and your peers?
Topic 3: What barriers did/do you and your peers face to participating? What do you think is needed to overcome those barriers?
Topic 4: If you could ask the adult decision-makers in your schools, afterschool programs, youth organizations, nonprofits, or government for any kind of support or policy change to help increase youth participation, what would you ask for?
Participation for this opportunity goes from Jun.03.23 to Jun.03.23.

The Independent Reporting Mechanism (IRM) of the Open Government Partnership (OGP) is seeking individuals to carry out research at the national level in a variety of countries to assess government progress on implementation of their OGP Action Plans.

Participation for this opportunity goes from Jun.03.23 to Jun.03.23.
