She noted that the world needs new and innovative approaches that embrace the complexity of the 21st-century development challenges to enable transformative change, as we emerge from the COVID-19 pandemic.

Universities are the breeding ground for the kind of innovation, forward-thinking policies, and solutions needed to tackle 21st-century challenges and reinvigorate the SDGs, which is why the UNDP is partnering with Makerere University to co-convene the Youth and Innovation Expo.

The Youth and Innovation Expo will leverage Makerere University’s innovation, MTN Uganda’s technology, and UNDP’s development expertise and global innovation network to provide a platform for learning and sharing information on the emerging opportunities to harness science, technology, and innovative finance to take on the complex yet fast-evolving development challenges of the 21st century.

UNDP seeks to foster partnerships that build on the transformative power of innovation to address present-day challenges. The Expo is expected to attract thousands of young people, innovators, entrepreneurs, and policymakers from across the country.
