Interested participants are encouraged to apply for the 12-week program which will be held online starting in the first quarter of 2024, including a practical online curriculum centred on green energy, sustainability, and the SDGs. The curriculum will guide participants in developing ideas for solutions to the Design Challenge following the Empathise, Define, Ideate, Prototype and test approach” in a highly experiential learning format.

Throughout the program, Alumni will discuss their experiences and deepen their knowledge in key areas where further sustainability practice and development are needed. At the end of the learning period, participants will present their ideas to a panel of judges who will evaluate the best ideas to determine the top three winners, who will be given nominal funding for their project ideas and taken through 6-months of coaching to support them in developing prototypes.

The objective of the challenge is to promote Africa's smart solutions for sustainable green energy. Female alumni from the four YALI RLCs, active within the energy sector are invited to apply. Based on the ideas submitted, 24 outstanding individuals will be selected to participate in the design challenge.
