The Arab Youth Center has teamed up with the UAE Ministry of Foreign Affairs to launch a new program called the Global Youth Water Envoys Program.  This program is special because it's not just about sending young people to a conference, but about giving them a real role in shaping the outcomes.  They're looking for 100 young leaders from around the world to join the 2026 UN Water Conference in Abu Dhabi this December. What's different about this program is that the young people who are selected won't just be watching from the sidelines, they'll be actively contributing to the conference's discussions and decisions.  They'll be taking part in six Interactive Dialogues and helping to shape the global water governance agenda. The program is particularly focused on young people from areas where water is scarce, such as Africa, which makes it a really meaningful opportunity for them to get involved and make a difference.

The Timbuktoo Launchpad is a startup support platform that covers the whole continent, run by the United Nations Development Programme as part of their bigger Timbuktoo initiative. It was created to solve one of the biggest problems African founders face: not having equal access to resources, mentorship, and networks. Instead of being a single accelerator in one place, it works through a network of incubators and innovation hubs across Africa.  This gives startups local support and also connects them to a larger network of mentors and investors across the continent. What's unique about this opportunity is its flexible timing - it's not just a one-time annual deadline. Applications are open all year round, and new groups of startups are admitted every quarter.  This means you can apply at any time and still have a chance to be part of the program. The platform is designed to provide hands-on support to startups, while also giving them access to a wider ecosystem of resources an...
