UNDP/Impact Hub Lagos 2021 Virtual UNDP SDG Hackathon The United Nations General Assembly created the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in 2015 to produce a set of universal goals that meet the urgent environmental, political and economic challenges facing our world. They are a collection of 17 interlinked global goals designed to be a “blueprint to achieve a better and more sustainable future for all”. In collaboration with Impact Hub Lagos, UNDP seeks to implement Nigeria-specific inventions and solutions that fill the important gaps when trying to understand the social, economic, political, and cultural factors affecting actionable change in people’s lives.
Under the United Nations Development Program (UNDP), Impact Hub Lagos is hosting a hackathon on the May 24th 2021 tagged The 2021 Virtual UNDP SDG Hackathon. It is a virtual hackathon designed to mobilize youth and innovators from across the geo-political zones in Nigeria aged 18 – 35 to create digital solutions to hack the problems around the 17 SDGs. All interested participants can apply, regardless of any prior experience or background.
The 2021 Virtual UNDP SDG Hackathon provides a collaborative idealization space for the Nigerian youth to trigger fresh strategic thinking and prototype new ideas that can transform into tangible action to advance the SDGs. With a National median age of 18.1 years, the young people of Nigeria are at the vanguard of our collective legacy and footprint on this planet. Issues such as extreme poverty, climate change, increasing inequality, quality education, demanding accountability have occupied the center stage today, and young people have the right as well as the responsibility to lead the way forward.
The 2021 Virtual UNDP SDG Hackathon, Impact Hub Lagos is fostering knowledge sharing, cooperation, and the prioritization of pressing issues concerning an increasingly complex and diverse global society. The Hackathon opens new avenues for young women and men across the six geopolitical zones to localize the SDGs, catalyzing purpose-driven interactions, and systematically increase the youth-led impact on SDG attainment.
