- 2 min de lecture
Each year, our annual Call for Solutions invites private and public organizations, governments and civil society actors to submit concrete and innovative projects tackling today’s most pressing global challenges. This year, one of the key themes is "Harnessing Local Solutions for a Fair Energy Transition and Responsible Minerals Supply".
Selected projects benefit from international visibility, the opportunity to present their work at our annual event, and access to a network of key experts and decision-makers.
Since 2018, our Solutions Hub has highlighted nearly 600 innovative projects, that provide concrete responses to major issues of governance, sustainable development, and international cooperation. Prior transition minerals-related projects include the Minerals for Peace and Development - Madini Kwa Amani Na Maendeleo project, by the Madini consortium, and the Powering Change: Women & Critical Minerals project, by the Association of Women in Mining in Africa (AWIMA).
Projects showcased at the Forum also have the opportunity to join our Scale-Up Program — an accelerator providing capacity-building support to 10 initiatives per year, designed to help impactful solutions grow and thrive.
