3	I am submitting a Solution to be considered for inclusion in UN Solutions Summit	Saad Javed	Cheema	WWF-PAKISTAN	https://www.wwfpak.org/	Project Coordinator	Male	Pakistan	Pakistan	English	I count myself very lucky to be able to make a living by doing work that is in alignment with my values and the things that I believe in. It seems to me that a lot of people have made peace with the idea that work is something that is separate from their values, from their passions and interests. I am passionate about social causes and want to contribute it, according to best of my knowledge and good determination. Working as Project Coordinator at World Wide Fund for Nature Pakistan, my proposed actions are ; •Building the capacities of primary producers on sustainable waste management will result in improved soil quality and crop productivity through an optimal use of crop waste to maintain soil organic matter levels and nutrient recovery. •Exploring options for by-and co-products through involving research institutions and industry will pave the way for increased opportunities adding productive value to waste, by-and co-products resulting in environmental and economic benefits for the farming communities. •Improve resource efficiency through reduction of waste and improved waste management in primary production. •Create increased awareness and dialogue through creation of joint stakeholders’ platform across relevant sectors on availability, needs and options for sustainable management and use of agricultural waste. •Improve air quality – by reducing on farm emissions. By working on above objectives I am getting following positive global impacts; •Aware farmers regarding death and decline of beneficial soil microbes and insects due to burning of crop residue. •Crop residue incorporation increases organic matter and mineral content in the soil. •Reduce GHG emissions by using crop residue management machinery. •Less burning of hydro-carbons fuels. •Aware the general public, government and private institutions regarding the issue of crop residue burning and SMOG. •Society is increasingly becoming conscious about environmental issues in the wake of changing climate and an ever-growing global population. Unsustainable disposal of crop residues is one of the important issue under debate. •Maintaining and managing crop residues in agriculture can be economically beneficial to many producers and more importantly to society. •CRM practices support the water conservation and increase the water efficiency. •Crop residue management are common means for controlling runoff and erosion, which can also result in reduced P losses	Cheema has 8 years of experience in different sectors and he earned his MSc (Hons) degree in Agricultural Engineering. He is working as Project Coordinator at World Wide Fund for Nature Pakistan, where he looks on sustainable crop residue management practices, specially on rice crop. The common practice in country is the burning of rice residue, which creates many problems to natural flora and fauna. It also create SMOG and generate many health diseases. Before this Mr. Cheema has worked with Engro Fertlizer as District Commercial Officer, where he looked different alternate sustainable solution for rice crop. As rice crop is the one the most thirstiest crop in world, So he enhance the capacity building of farmers on sustainable rice platform (SRP). Before this Mr. Cheema was worked with Anchor Commodities as a Area Manager high efficiency irrigation system. He has designed and installed many drip, sprinklers and Central Pivot irrigation systems on cereal crop, vegetables and orchards. While working as Consultant Field Engineer with Agribusiness Support Fund, under the USAID funded project, he helped poor and non technical farmers to enhance their yields by using new innovative agriculture practices and gave access to their high value crops to international market through agro food systems and chains.Through these experiences, he has developed strong skills in entrepreneurship, consulting and training development. Cheema feels pleasure focusing on the topic of poverty, hunger, wildlife, environment and energy issues.	Crop Residue Management and Issue of SMOG	Go Green, Say No to GHG, Sustainable residue solution with win win situation for All	Goal 2. End hunger, achieve food security and improved nutrition and promote sustainable agriculture \| Goal 3. Ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all at all ages \| Goal 7 Ensure access to affordable, reliable, sustainable and modern energy for all \| Goal 13. Take urgent action to combat climate change and its impacts \| Goal 15. Protect, restore and promote sustainable use of terrestrial ecosystems, sustainably manage forests, combat desertification, and halt and reverse land degradation and halt biodiversity loss	Pakistan, India, Bangladesh, China, Turkey, Thailand, Malaysia, Philippines	No		Transition to Scale	Every year hundreds of million tons of rice residues (straw and husk) are produced and burnt it out at farm scale. Rice residues can be a cash crop for farmers, if we develop a strong supply chain in market for energy purposes, because energy is considered the basis for the progress and prosperity of nations and societies. CRM team has developed handicrafts like baskets, mats, hat and other useful things from rice straw and will be available in market this year after harvesting of paddy crop.	Following problem are faced by CRM team •Small holding farmers have limited financial capacity to bear the cost of sustainable residue management practices otherwise; they are unable to harvest the benefit. •Limited information and options are available for farming communities for rice-residue value addition and industrial usage. •For operating Pak seeder and paddy straw choppers needs 85 HP tractor, which are mostly not available in farmer communities.	We are developing a sustainable supply chain of different crop residues. There are large potential in Pakistan and as well as all the agriculture based economies to use their crop residue as bio energy. Fossil fuels resources are reducing very abruptly as well as they have very adverse effect on environment. On very specific way if I talked about only rice residue, it has very less calorific value (straw) and very less proteins in it. So neither it can be ideally use in energy sector not as animal feed. But our CRM has added its economic value by developing co and by products from it. In All over the world rice residue is mostly burnt out. Rice is the 2nd largest stable food. In 1 Hectare the ratio of yield to residue is 40:60 percent. So you can easily guess how important is our solution globally.	The solution is unique in several ways if it considered with past practices. we using rice residue in development of many other things like used in mushroom production, as a source of bio char, animal fodder, energy production, for chemicals are extracts, fiberboard, paper and pulp industry. The methodology is mentioned below; •CRM team has developed a supply chain for rice straw residue and added economic value in it. •All CRM registered farmers can now sale their rice straw in market with good price. •CRM team has developed handicrafts like baskets, mats, hat and other useful things from rice straw and will be available in market this year after harvesting of paddy crop. •By and Co-products are developed from rice husk and rice bran, are interlinking with industrialists by conducting seminars and meeting at chamber of commerce.	We worked hard to developed the different solutions. Its very difficult to agree farmers to adopt new interventions. It's all team effort, In our project geographical area no one is going burn their crop residue, because now he knows very well that he can get good price of his residue. On the other hand rice residue demand is increasing day by day in markets because of this project. I think we are going on a right track.	During year 2018-2019, we are working very specifically on rice residue. The reason behind it the issue of SMOG. But getting a very good learning we are going to extend our this project to other major and cash crops specially on cotton, wheat and sugarcane. We will also need some technical persons who have good command on mechanization, ability to link the intervention with industry will be needed.	In Pakistan 80 percent of farmers have less than 10 acres agriculture land. So small holding farmers have limited financial capacity to bear the cost of sustainable residue management practices otherwise; they are unable to harvest the benefit. For this issue we are in touch government institutions to give them financial assistance, so that they can create their on resources to scale up the solution. The short-term goal is to create the awareness among people. Now society is increasingly becoming conscious about environmental issues in the wake of changing climate and an ever-growing global population. Unsustainable disposal of crop residues is one of the important issue under debate. Medium-term need is to develop some co and by products from rice residue. By doing this it add value in rice residue and farmers will not burnt their residue. Long -term goal is that CRM existence farmers will buy their crop residue management machinery to save the environment and reduce the input costs of sowing and add organic matter in soil by incorporating the crop residue.	https://nation.com.pk/22-May-2019/joint-efforts-needed-to-fight-off-smog https://epaper.brecorder.com/m/2019/05/23/15-page/783075-news.html?fbclid=IwAR0fE8-ahVTWUHyLdEx5KAY8DZCf_cioC-K8y5xgz8o973BKg2ad6ui8QJE https://pakobserver.net/urban-air-pollution-damaging-health-economy/ https://en.dailypakistan.com.pk/pakistan/wwf-seminar-explains-how-technology-can-tackle-smog-in-pakistan/ https://www.wwfpak.org/?uNewsID=348611	https://www.dawn.com/news/1483824/stubble-burning-must-be-reduced-to-curb-pollution https://www.thenews.com.pk/print/474635-crop-residue-burning-major-cause-of-smog	Not any yet.

Follow The Projects	... tracking project accountability	Goal 9. Build resilient infrastructure, promote inclusive and sustainable industrialization and foster innovation \| Goal 11. Make cities and human settlements inclusive, safe, resilient and sustainable	Nigeria with focus on each of the thirty-six and the FCT	No		Ideation	The Project is still at the stage of idea development with statistics from communities in Nigeria.	Over 100, 000 uncompleted projects across Nigeria at local, state and national. Several billions wasted and looted while the people and communities are living in the shadow of such projects. The Projects is a citizen-led initiative to lead movement against the culture of abandoned projects in Nigeria which shall monitor, track&pressure government to complete all projects initiated with special interest on project designs, duration and cost of projects providing real-time analytics of progress.	#FollowTheProject shall not only monitor and track projects of government, it shall design and implement systems and programs to engage project practitioners on why the culture of abandoned projects must be defeated in Nigeria’s public and private sectors. #FollowTheProject will recruit and mobilize “Citizen Project Ambassadors"" across states of the federation to tour project sites, access level of progress and compliance with the standard and international best practices for such projects, and as well engage grassroots people in the project host communities. #FollowTheProject as part of leading the cause to defeat the culture of abandoned projects by government, this initiative shall engage citizens to educate them through town hall sessions and radio programme on creating enabling environment for projects of government to strive and be completed in their communities as all these shall contribute largely to the success of project delivery in Nigeria on time and according to project charter, standard and scope. #FollowTheProject generates and publishes data on the general performance, stakeholder acceptance and citizens’ satisfaction, and tracking reliability, functionality and maintenance of such projects after commissioning.

The involvement of ordinary citizens to take ownership of projects sited in their communities is the one of the uniqueness of this accountability and transparency citizen-centred initiative.	We're working to have more facts, seek and build partnership and gain confidence of funders to find the project for the next 24 months. The number of abadoned projects and ongoing projects tracked and communities captured.	1. New Market: The perception this project solution is going to create on project management and ownership culture in Nigeria would be massive and will lead new revolution and narratives across major sectors such as health, power, works, building and housing, oil and education. 2. Staff and Workforce Recruitment: Apart from the core team members that would implement this idea, we will recruit over 774 Citizen Project Ambassadors across the 774 local governments in Nigeria to monitor projects at the grassroots which is crucial to the project success. 3. Projected Lives to Impact: Apart from the direct of about 1000 people to implement this project in Nigeria, the over 201 million people living in Nigeria will enjoy new life when critical projects of critical importance are completed across their local, sub-urban, urban communities and cities. For instance, the over 15 million out-of-school children in Nigeria would have been enrolled in schools when the facilities are completed and equally have access to quality health facilities in their communities and many other impacts this idea would generate and sustain.	1.

5	I am submitting a Solution to be considered for inclusion in UN Solutions Summit	Kimberley	Abbott	Vested Impact	www.vestedimpact.co.uk	Founder & CEO	Female	United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland	Australia	English	I would be honored to attend and present our ground-breaking initiative, Vested, that directly impacts ALL the SDG’s through its focus on digital financing innovations for funding the SDG’s. I am motivated by the opportunity to share our work, receive creative input, and to influence the regulatory & policy foundations around impact investing, but also connect with investors who care deeply about long-term change and impact, and with industry leaders who can help us scale and reach the billion lives we are projected to impact. I have used innovation throughout my entire career, as an expert in Human-Centred Design, Lean & other innovation practices. I have applied this innovation for impact multiple times in my career: as founder and CEO of Roka, an award-winning social enterprise that used economic empowerment of women & education to break the cycle of poverty. And most recently in my new venture, Vested, which bridges the gap in financing of the SDG’s and provides an innovative solution to democratizing impact investing and drive trillions into solving the SDG’s. With extensive experience in presenting and public speaking: including a TEDxYouth speech, international tech conferences, and even at UN conferences (as a technical consultant for DPO) I believe I would make a compelling, interesting and insightful presenter. I am primarily motivated by a desire to share innovation, learnings and opportunities because I believe collective power and collaboration hold the key to impact. I also am motivated by the opportunity to share what I am doing with Vested, and our belief that unlocking the power of the ordinary investor may be the best hope we have at financing the SDG’s	I am currently the female Founder & CEO of Vested, a revolutionary company solving the world’s greatest challenges. I am also currently an expert Tech consultant to the United Nations, leading the CPAS project to transform UN Peace keeping all over the World to be community & impact focused using data and tech. I am currently a Non-Executive Director of the Board of EPIC London, a youth development organisation. I was previously Engineering Innovation Lead at Thales UK, a multinational security and aerospace company, and was the co-founder and CEO of Roka, an award-winning social enterprise developed to break the cycle of poverty in rural India through economic empowerment of women and education. In 2015 I was named as one of the Financial Review's Australia’s 100 Women of Influence, was in the 2018 Top 30 Most Innovative Engineers, and the Top 50 Women in Engineering. I have also been a member of the official Australian Government Delegation to the United Nations Commission on the Status of Women, and a recipient of the Commonwealth Youth Award for Development in 2016.	Vested	We are redefining 'millionaire' to be a person who impacts 1 million lives	Goal 8. Promote sustained, inclusive and sustainable economic growth, full and productive employment and decent work for all \| Goal 9. Build resilient infrastructure, promote inclusive and sustainable industrialization and foster innovation \| Goal 10. Reduce inequality within and among countries \| Goal 17. Strengthen the means of implementation and revitalize the Global Partnership for Sustainable Development	Currently being tested and have regulatory approval in the United Kingdom, and will expand to Europe very quickly. Our next target regions for 2020 are: Australia & Asia. We anticipate expanding to the USA, after SEC approval (2021)	No		Transition to Scale	Vested is currently in the process of completing beta testing in the UK, placing us post-proof-of-concept phase & in the early stages of transition to scale. We built a prototype & tested it early 2019, & have since then built a full product/app, completing beta launch & user testing in July/Aug 2019 (w. 100 users), & have been awaiting regulatory approvals to go to full public launch in Sept/Oct 2019 where we will be in scale mode, immediately scaling rapidly to thousands, & millions of users.	The world is at least $3 trillion a year short to adequately solve the SDG’s. Impact investing is seen as the most promising place to access this finance. However only 2% of impact investments are accessible by everyday ordinary investors. There is estimated $5 trillion waiting to be unlocked from these ordinary investors to be directed to impact investments however there is no accessible way for ordinary people to find, compare & invest small amounts in alternate market impact investments.	Vested is a micro-investing app that offers an alternative marketplace for true impact investments, democratizing impact investing and driving funding into the SDG’s. We collaborate with the worlds leading Asset Managers to create the 'Amazon' of impact: Offering true impact investments on a regulated digital platform, allowing ordinary investors to choose to invest as little as $100 into projects, ventures and businesses tackling problems they care about. Leveraging our propriety impact assessment algorithm they can make impact-based decisions & can then track and monitor their individual, and collective, impact across a portfolio. Our unique platform allows ‘pooling’ of investments enabling the small contributions of the many to have word changing effects. Vested is a revolutionary citizen-centric platform that empowers ordinary people with economic independence, raise awareness, understanding and mobilise millions of investors around the SDG’s. Through our proprietary impact assessment algorithim, that pulls on data from over 250 organisations and 3 million data points, we regain trust & provide traceability, transparency validation of impact for the sector. And ultimately, we unlock trillions of dollars in funding for societal challenges and help achieve the sustainable development goals. At just 2 million users, we estimate Vested to have over $1 billion of assets under management, and we will be impacting over 1 Billion lives through financing solving the Global SDGs	Impact investing is currently nearly solely focused on institutional investors: i.e the large sum investments from the few. Only 2% of impact investments being made by retail investors. Yet 63% of millennials say they want to impact invest. Our approach is new because we take the perspective that the small contributions of the many will have a more significant impact and putting citizens at the centre of impact investing will shift financier behaviour on a level & acceleration far greater than currently being seen. By opening up impact investing we can bring together a social system of change that empowers citizens, democratizes the investment system, providing retail savers and investors. Vested is one of the first platforms to make impact investing accessible to the ‘missing 98%’. Vested also is revolutionary in its use of our proprietary impact assessment algorithm, that takes the proposed theory of change and pulls on data from over 250 organisations and 3 million data points to weight predicted and existing performance, translating it into a single, easy to understand and relevant measure of impact (an impact ‘credit rating’). Allowing users to make comparative impact based-decisions on where their investments have the most impact, and to also track and monitor individual and collective impact, alongside risk and return.	We have built the technology, including the beta versions of the algorithm and the app. We have been building the partnerships and relationships with social finance asset managers to feed the supply side of the marketplace, and have just started beta testing with a small initial user-base. Operating within the highly-regulated financial sector has meant considerable effort is spent on obtaining authorisation to operate, and we are tentatively approved to operate to an unlimited and retail market as of Sept 2019. This will be our scaling point. Our methodological rigor is continuously applied through our applications of Design Thinking and Human-centred Design principles. We ensure constant engagement and user-acceptance testing, across all the sectors (social, investment & policy). We engage frequently with social finance asset managers, to both build partnerships and a pipeline of assets for the platform, as well as to ensure our solution meets the needs of them and their social impact clients. We engage regularly with the Financial Conduct Authorities and associated government impact investing institutes to ensure Vested has the proper regulatory rigor, & can influence future policy around impact investing. And we of course complete user testing with our ordinary investors to ensure we are empowering them in the right ways to invest their money in things they care about, and that we are providing the transparency and tracability on their impact they desire.	Our goal with Vested is to create a global platform to mobilise investors all over the World to drive finance into SDG focused projects, businesses and funds. Regulatory policies are the only barrier to global expansion, as such the scaling will happen over a number of years, with new countries and regions added as the platform matures. Milestone - UK Public Launch & Scale (Aug – Dec 2019): •Raise $500,000 equity investment into Vested •Recruit 3 additional staff •KPI: Gain 10,000 users •KPI: Facilitate $10 million of investments made into SDG aligned assets •Impact KPI: 1,000,000 Lives Milestone - UK & EU - 2020 • Make platform portal accessible to financial advisors and capital market brokers (will put impact investing mainstream alongside capital markets) • Scale team (to 10+) • KPI: Gain 100,000 users • KPI: Total $100 million of investments made into SDG aligned assets • Impact KPI: 50,000,000 lives Milestone - Expansion to Asia-pacific - 2021 • Release Impact Assessment Algorithim platform to public & private fund and portfolio managers (providing data-driven evidence and comparative analysis of impact across portfolios) • Expand and recruit team in Hong Kong or Australia • KPI: Gain 1 million users • KPI: Total $1 billion of investments made into SDG aligned assets • Impact KPI: 0.5 Billion lives Milestone - Full global expansion (Incl. USA) - 2023 • Retain 4 million users • Facilitate $5bn of investments made into SDG aligned assets • Impact: +1 billion lives	The largest resource required for Vested to scale is financing/grants/investment in Vested as a business itself, and partnerships with social finance institutions. We also require support and advocacy in the regulatory and policy environment as impact investing is still relatively new asset class. Short-term: We are looking to raise an equity Seed Round of around $500,000(or attract equivalent funding in grants etc) which will enable independent regulatory cover, increasing our team, and scale across the UK and Europe. Tapping into a market of $1 billion of investments and a potential to impact millions of lives. Medium-term: We would look to raise another round of funding (estimated $2m) to finance setting up teams in Asia-Pacific Region, and expanding the partnerships to include mainstream financing and modifications to tech platform. Long-term: We will need to expand the team to the USA and work closely with partners and institutions to gain SEC approval. This would require another significant funding injection (although the platforms own revenues could support this by this time) and policy and regulatory support/advocacy will continue to be needed.

Programs: The Foundation will implement programs in the following areas: Community Development •Formulation and implementation of Community Development programs. A Report by the World bank, released in 2014, showed that only 33% of Nigerians could be considered Poor, all Northern States of Nigeria fell below the national average of 46.5%. Damning is the following summary of Regional Averages:- 1 = South West - 19.3% Poverty (+ Average) 2 = South South - 25.2% Poverty (+ Average) 3 = South East - 27.36% Poverty (+ Average) --------------------------------------------------- ** National Average 46.0%% Poverty --------------------------------------------------- 4 = North Central - 45.7% Poverty (+Average) 5 = North East - 76.8% Poverty (- Average) 6 = North West- 80.9% Poverty (- Average) It is a well known fact that there is extreme and debilitating poverty in Northern Nigeria which is a time bomb that could explode without notice. It is also a fact that the extreme poverty in the north is the root of the major ills affecting the north today such as Boko haram and youth restiveness.	Organize interaction forum with school management (PTAs and SMCs) to prepare for enrolment and integration of girls. This will offer an opportunity to know the number of schools and vacancies available for their enrolment. •Provision of support and counseling to girls out of school in each state to start or continue schooling. Number of girls supported to start or go back to school will be known, thereby facilitating appraisal of the project •Adult literacy • Commitments toward formally educating girls in northern Nigeria dates back to almost seventy years. And from the mid–eighties to date, there have been more than 10 government policies, mandates, and programs, made to improve and encourage girl child education. Social factors such as forced early marriage , girl trafficking and preference of boys over girls have largely limited girls' access to education in many rural areas. Other factors that have compounded the problem include outmoded customs, lack of schools in some rural areas, and a high level of ignorance on importance of girl child education.

We've learned that expanding the network is also a good way to find partners and collaborators.	Regnard Raquedan is the Co-Founder of ParentUp. Mr. Raquedan is dedicated to helping parents overcome their daily challenges with the help of technology. As a technology professional, Mr. Raquedan developed expertise in digital strategy, user experience design, and web development in over 15 years. He has an MBA and a Masters degree in Information Management and recently completed an executive program on Innovation and Strategy at MIT Sloan. Before ParentUp, he co-founded The Pink Basket Project, a crowdfunding initiative that raised funds and provided care packages to at-risk mothers in Toronto, and CubbySpot, a tech startup that connected parents and child care providers. Mr. Raquedan advocates for support for parents-- from improving maternal health to increasing awareness on emotional well-being. His efforts at ParentUp has been recognized at the Global Initiative for Science and Technology Tech-I competition and the Ryerson Social Venture Prize.	ParentUp	Toll-free SMS-based support line for teen moms in the Philippines	Goal 3. Ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all at all ages \| Goal 5. Achieve gender equality and empower all women and girls	Philippines	Yes	Commission on Population and Development	Transition to Scale	Ten pregnant women and ten mothers with newborn participated in the pilot implementation of ParentUp in Marikina City, Philippines from June to July 2018, funded by the Grand Challenges Canada. The participants send in questions related to pregnancy and infant care through their mobile phones at no cost since this is a toll-free number. Maternal and newborn care experts then provide not only relevant responses from their queries, but also non-judgmental support.	According to a report by the Philippine Statistics Authority, there were 203,085 teenagers that become mothers in 2016, a majority of them belonging to low-income communities. These girls have poor access to information and emotional support, especially in a country where teenage pregnancy and unwed motherhood carry heavy social stigma. In many communities, they do not have regular mental health professionals and counsellors in the local community health centre.	ParentUp is an SMS-based consultation and support line for young, low-income mothers that gives them maternal health information and emotional support. Mothers can send in questions for free and they will get relevant responses and non-judgmental support from maternal care and parenting advisers. ParentUp also features screening for Postpartum Depression so moms who may require help will get it on time. In a country where 74% of adults ages 18-34 owns a smartphone[1], ParentUp’s messaging service presents an opportunity to reach young mothers whether they are using a smart-phone or a non-internet enabled cell phone. Data has also suggested that women are more likely to own a mobile phone than men in the Philippines [2].	On the back-end, development is underway to make the support line become powered by both Artificial Intelligence (AI) chat bots and the aforementioned health advisers. The support will come in languages and dialects like of the target geographies, such as Tagalog and English. The innovation’s primary goal is to improve the health outcomes of mothers and their young children, ultimately saving their lives. We also want to improve access to modern healthcare information and best practices by using technology that is already there in the community (low-end feature mobile phones). Our Theory of Change essentially follows this model: We believe that when we send our messages we educate the teen moms and in turn, they gain the knowledge on health, nutrition, and parenting, as well as uplifted by the positive messages and emotional support. These will eventually lead to better health habits and practical actions that replaces old behaviors. Specifically, if ParentUp is implemented into communities, we anticipate it will answer the questions and provide support which meets the needs of mothers in low-income settings so that health outcomes of the community are improved and maternal and infant deaths are avoided.	A needs assessment survey was undertaken among 80 mothers in order to define the specific requirements of the intended market. This was supplemented by home visits and focus group discussions covering 30 mothers. The needs assessment indicated that although the teens are looking for the information and find value in the information received, they are not capable of paying for the service. This insight led to designing the service as a toll-free support messaging line. Ten pregnant women and ten mothers with newborn participated in the pilot implementation of ParentUp in Marikina City, Philippines from June to July 2018, funded by the Grand Challenges Canada. The participants send in questions related to pregnancy and infant care through their mobile phones at no cost since this is a toll-free number. Maternal and newborn care experts then provide not only relevant responses from their queries, but also non-judgmental support. Half of the participants indicated that they saved an unnecessary visit to a health institution with the use of ParentUp, which also indicates saving them from transportation cost and unpleasant experiences such as long waiting hours in the health centers – considered among the main barriers in seeking health care. Furthermore, ParentUp received high ratings on the following: relevance: 9 out of 10, ease of use: 9.7, believability: 9.2, innovativeness: 9.9, and uniqueness: 9.6.	ParentUp is available nationwide as a special short code phone number (i.e, a short five digit number) enabling us to reach millions of people by working with the government, non-profit organizations, and private companies to promote the service. Promotional activities will include posting in social media, placement of posters and brochures in public spaces and local health centers. In five years, we have the potential to reach over one million teen moms (ages 15-19) in the Philippines alone. If the age group 20-24 is added, the potential reach is doubled. Financially, ParentUp will be supported by a business model where the partner organizations (government, non-profit, and businesses) will sponsor to implement the SMS support line in communities of their choice. The sponsorship would cover the cost of maintaining the system and the service. This approach will ensure scalability while providing value for our partners. Our value proposition to them is the improved health outcomes of their constituents and beneficiaries. For the for-profit entities, we are going to provide a way to partner with their Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) efforts and improve brand presence.	Proof-of-concept viability: In 2018, we've initially validated the viability of the basic functionality of ParentUp. The underlying technology of offering an SMS service and the process behind responding to questions are fully functional with high levels of user satisfaction. We've also validated the functions pertaining to toll-free charging and making sure that the end-users are not charged. As this work expands, we will track health resource utilization including the successful referral to health centres. We will also validate some new functionalities regarding case assignment/routing to improve response time. The methodology would be based on Agile testing and quality assurance framework of software, as outlined in Agile Testing: A Practical Guide for Testers and Agile Teams (Crispin and Gregory, 2009). Financial sustainability: We will validate the financial viability and business model of sponsorships and platform usage from organizations who will participate in the proposed pilot, as well as interviewing and meeting a sample of similar organizations. We will gather and analyze the data, and use this as an indicator for market validation. Based on the interest we’ve received and partnerships soon to be finalized from the Philippine Commission on Population and Development and non-profit organizations such as the Zuellig Family Foundation and Forum for Family Planning and Development, we remain confident that strong potential for our product is likely.	https://www.parentup.ca https://www.ryerson.ca/news-events/news/2019/07/social-startup-provides-parenting-support-for-some-of-the-worlds-most-vulnerable-moms/	From a past event: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BcZRYPaSOrU	Grand Challenges Canada, Ryerson Social Ventture Prize, GIST Tech-I

Tools Common Initiative Group(FI.MO.AT.C.I.G)	https://www.facebook.com/mbuh.raphael	ECOSOC NGO President	Male	Cameroon	Cameroon	English \| French	Breaking News! There is a genocide taking place now in the Anglophone regions of Cameroon. Statistics are appalling, with tens of thousands of internally displaced persons and refugees in Neighboring Nigeria. After the 1994 Genocide in Rwanda, world countries in 2005 decided that henceforth, it will be their Responsibility to prevent genocide. We ask this from the United Nations, to empower Anglophone linguistic minority in Cameroon by sending a fact finding mission to validate and establish the case of genocide, mediate for inclusive dialogues, intervene and Stop the genocide. Sit-tight 38-year rule autocrat, President Paul BIYA of the republic of Cameroon has shown no desire to stop the genocide and to address the root cause of the conflict. He has rejected the voice of his own people; ever since the Anglophone linguistic minority in Cameroon noticed the arrogance and hypocrisy of the BIYA’s government that say it is ready for inclusive dialogues but never made any move. This is why the Anglophone linguistic Minority in Cameroon decided to establish every Monday a public holiday characterized by ghost town since 2017 until both parties sit on the dialogue table. Claiming they are ready for dialogues for over three years and with irrelevant persons-federalists and leaving out the relevant stakeholders-separatists is completely meaningless. If we think that we can end the crises without addressing the root causes then we are deceiving ourselves, they would be ignited even if they end.	MBUH Raphael MBUH after obtaining his GCE A/L spent one year of teaching experience in a primary school, then he continued university in the university if DOUALA where he obtained a higher teacher’s DIPLOMA in mechanical manufacturing and pedagogy in JULY 2005. He went to the field and after three years of experience as a secondary school lecturer, he decided to further his studies in the University of DOUALA, where he obtained another higher DIPLOMA in mechanical engineering as a teacher in JULY 2011. Since then he has been working with the Cameroonian government as a teacher. He has had several promotions, he is examiner at the GCE BOARD, and he is school administrator (SENIOR DISCIPLINE MASTER) at Government Technical College DIPENDA BAKUNDU.

This has led to the war in the anglophone regions of Cameroon between the government of La République du Cameroun and AMBA fighters leading to continuing genocide and crimes against humanity against the Anglophone linguistic minority in Cameroon.	Inclusive dialogue could help fighting parties come to a compromise solution. For global impact it would help achieve the SDGs in having peaceful and inclusive societies.	In other to solve this problem Cameroon DIASPORA thought that it is better for Anglophone regions to separate from Francophone regions. They therefore pick their guns and start fighting. Other solutions people have proposed include decentralization. Meanwhile others propose federation. But my solution first is inclusive dialogue between fighting parties and military removal of the 38-year rule dictatorial regime of Paul Biya	We have attended the 10th session forum on minority issues in Geneva on the 29 Nov.-01 Dec. 2017 related to the Anglophone crises in Cameroon since 2016. -Attended the 63rd session of the committee against torture at Palais Wilson first floor on the 23rd of April-18 may 2018, Geneva -Attended the 115th session on enforced or involuntary disappearance on 23rd April-02 May at palais de nations room xxiv Geneva related to the enforced or involuntary disappearance of the interim government of the AMBAZONIANS from Nigeria. We acquired knowledge in all these conferences and talk with fighting parties.	We planned to still travel to the US to talk with Ambazonian leadership for inclusive dialogue to hold.	Short term resources include visa to the US for the President , medium term resources include getting experts on mediation and long term resources include negotiating with a host country where fighting parties can sit on the dialogue table.	https://thepostnewspapercameroon.com/award-winning-inventor-offers-to-mediate-anglophone-crisis/ http://www.atlanticchronicles.com/2019/01/22/to-end-anglophone-crisis-concerned-cameroonians-offer-to-negotiate-between-govt-amba-fighters/	https://youtu.be/AyWOnmK8qTY https://youtu.be/QmzCXalHOa0 https://youtu.be/aTgn0XxIMEc	Medal winner in Hydro electric power generation on South Korea

Innovation is key to improving productivity growth in the agriculture and agri-food sectors, thus contributing to production and economic growth,higher competitiveness,farm family income, and ensuring lower food costs for consumers in the long-term. Innovations in agriculture is key to conserving the world’s biodiversity and to ensuring the ability of millions of small scale farmers to grow their own food.Agriculture is one of the best pursuit in economic development.Eradication of poverty, creating employment opportunities for youths and Women and rural development can only be achieved through sustainable Farming, and Agricultural innovations. As a Woman and a farmer, i have taken to my own hands to create a positive impact among small scale farmers. On my four acre farm,i have initiated CLIMATE SMART AGRICULTURE. I have Implemented sustainable technologies and practices, such as improved varieties of crops,irrigation,organic pest control measure,water conservation,smart market analysis,simple and efficient transport logistics,improved storage facilities and training farmers on agricultural information.This has resulted to high yields,good quality crops and an increase income in our produce.The women are able to earn more and fetch better markets for our Goods. Soil and water conservation techniques,in my farm is key.I am practising ,Agro forestry such as tree planting, and Integrated farming to reduce water loss. Managed natural regeneration, and integrated soil fertility, using organic manure by making my own compost pit. I am also sphere heading talks and representing youths and other farmers for Better policies that govern Agriculture in Kenya.I believe the Government and other private bodies have an important role in the agricultural sector.Clear agricultural policy and regulation framework will facilitate access to information, reduce bureaucracy,market accessibility,and structural change in agriculture.	Beverly Mugure Gichiri Born in a small farm,in Kenya Nakuru County on March 7 1990,I began my journey through life. I am the the youngest daughter in a family of two other siblings.Completed my studies in Nakuru at an age of 18. After graduating in High school,i embarked on a journey to college in Nairobi where i graduated with a diploma in Hospitality management.I landed a job in a restaurant where i started as a waitress.Apart from working in a busy restaurant i enjoy mentoring and talking to young people to understand their challenges and where they come from.In my career,i developed a passion in the food business,created a great network of clients,but i also identified a disconnect between the consumer and the producer.As i was serving clients,most of the time we would be missing Spinach,butternut,or potatoes.How best could i solve this problem?.Growing food was the Solution! From there i managed to acquired a one acre farm in Juja where i started my farming projects.I started by growing wild vegetables and tomatoes which was a trend in that area.Through my Project, i have empowered women in my community,trained youths on agricultural practices during school Holidays. I am a very hard working lady,focused, result and goal oriented.I believe in empowering other people,that way you create wealth and improve other peoples lives.I enjoy farming,when i farm, i feel i am making Progress.I love reading, participating in charity work, car racing and mentoring young people. My mission in life,is to make this world a better place than i found it.

Strengthen the means of implementation and revitalize the Global Partnership for Sustainable Development	Kenya	No		Transition to Scale	I have been farming since 2016, and i strongly believe i have endured the challenges that the business comes with.Through this experience,i believe am in a position where my business can transit to a bigger project.This will require funding and involvement of other bodies or investors to see this dream come true.The successes and failures are a great lesson and experience to do better in agriculture.	My project has solved issues of unemployment among youths and women.I work with at least 10-20 women in rotations.This women depend fully on this farm and are able to feed and take their children to school.It has also eradicated poverty among local communities, because they have a living and they earn an income.We are also keen in conserving and protection of the environment by using better quality seeds,conserving water and using manure instead of harmful fertilisers in the business.	My long term vision is to facilitate an extensive farming project in vegetable production and dairy farming.Their is a great potential and niche market in milk production and vegetables.My vision is to create more employment among youths and train them to start small start-up for them.I want our produce to be solved all over the world,create employment,eradicate poverty and contribute to economic Growth.	Most of the farmers in Kenya farm for profit purposes.My project has a different approach in investing in people more than just making money.My project put people first, understanding their backgrounds,talents and working on improving and empowering people to be better and instilling hope in them.I believe that when you invest in people,one can achieve a lot.	We have structured a different way of working.To empower more people, we came up with a rotational shift.This way, we are able to employ more people where they work for 4 hours and allow others to work too.This is a very operational methods which requires supervision.. We have also identified a different method of selling our produce.We do not take vegetables to the market, we have identified individual and cooperate clients so we can sell directly. Investing in water storage has saved us money and time too. We have also started collecting data and record keeping for our sales and farm operation procedures, to keep track of our sales.	Goals. Expand to a 10-15 acre Project by 2022 in vegetable production and Dairy farming. Employ at least 200 Youths by 2030. Impact and initiate agricultural programmes in at least 3 schools in every county. Launch a Flower project for young children to instil a passion for farming at a younger age.	Key solutions are Long term-Mechanisation to increase production and ease work load,Investors to meet our goals,experts to assist in consultation,agronomist etc. Medium-term Quality seeds, a fence,quality branding and packaging.	https://ke.linkedin.com/in/beverly-mugure-145571103 https://tukuka.co.ke/product/tukuka-magazine-may-2019/ https://twitter.com/olenkere https://www.facebook.com/1511841925778304/posts/beverly-mugure-shares-her-story-on-becoming-a-farmer-read-about-her-inspiring-st/1933809636914862/	https://twitter.com/statuses/1016613534061481986 https://twitter.com/tukuka_/status/873157335690170368	Best Youth Champion in Agribusiness 2018 Under United Nation FAO /EAC.

Our team and partner NGO’s will carefully asses and penetrate crisis zones and provide aid where professional aid is lacking. To date, no organisation has introduced this vast menu of solutions which the First Aid Table provides. The First Aid Tablet will serve to strategically introduce solutions to its beneficiaries, and in so doing, bridge the widening gap between privileged and underprivileged. In addition, First Aid Tablet will provide the first opportunity to combine full comprehensive solutions together on one platform, where Health, Psychology, First-Aid, Security, and Education, come together on one device. The nature of having a compact all-in-one device easily accessible and transportable is crucial in managing life threatening situations. All made available on a solar rechargeable rugged device with cutting edge key features.	After attending various humanitarian aid summits, reoccurring issues raised by speakers and moderators regarding the lack of effective long-lasting solutions by humanitarian aid agencies for people caught in crisis zones proved to be of great concern. With this in mind, I began the process of applying an innovative approach to resolve this critical problem. With the aid of my background in creative media, the concept ‘First Aid Tablet’ (FAT) came to mind ticking all the right boxes by providing an app designed by experts loaded onto a digital tablet to assist the people caught in crisis. Once the model made itself clear, feedback was sought from the humanitarian aid agencies around this initiative in order to move forward with its development. ""having the potential of becoming the most powerful tool in humanitarian aid"" Was one opinion from a government agency... The response was overwhelming attracting invitations from various Humanitarian Aid bodies, and various government agencies to exhibit the innovation. We are currently in the app development faze of the application.	First Aid Tablet	The dispatch and distribution of life saving solutions by digital means to people caught in crisis zones.	Goal 3.

Ces objectifs de développement durables ont été présenté aux chefs d'État et de gouvernements dans le monde avant d'être adoptés par ces derniers en 2015. 4 ans après sa mise en œuvre, on sent un engagement de certains gouvernements dont 142 sur 193 qui les avaient adoptés, à accepter volontiers de présenter leur rapport national: certains 1 fois, 2fois ou 3fois mais les résultats escomptés par l'organisation des Nations-Unies sont toujours mitigés. Au lieu que la pauvreté diminue, elle augmente plutôt, au que la faim diminue le rapport de la FAO précise qu'en 2014 en Afrique de l'ouest 44,4 millions de personnes sont malnutris en 2014 contre 182 millions en 2018. Les ODDs ont pourtant démarrés et il reste 11ans pour les atteindre. Les rapports du Secrétaire Général de l'ONU sont pourtant clairs à exploiter par les gouvernements.

19	I am submitting a Solution to be considered for inclusion in UN Solutions Summit	Damian	Ohienmhen	Nugenesis Energy	www.nugenesisenergy.com	Project Development Officer	Male	Nigeria	Nigeria	English \| French	My project seeks to address persistent energy poverty in rural areas in Nigeria. In areas were national power grid extension doesn't cover, my solution aims to supply power to the residents in these communities, thereby promoting economic development and inclusion in these areas. The UN Solutions Summit offers a platform to not only showcase my proposed solution, but also gain additional support to realize its potential for rural development. Forming a broad based coalition of support would significantly improve the chances of a successful project scheme, one that is able to last long enough to guarantee the achievement of its goals. The support I receive from the UN Solutions Summit would all but assure these goals are met. The innovation of decentralized grid power is one that allows communities that are not connected to the national grid network to realize their full potential for economic inclusion and development. Grid services are considered to be non-viable in these areas due to poor economic output. This further impoverishes the people living in these areas and the cycle continues unchanged. My solution offers to break this cycle by ensuring economic development, thereby offering incentives to promote growth in these communities. I hope to further this cause to other rural areas in Nigeria which seek the same innovation for its economic development.	I am a Renewable Energy Project Developer with 5 years of post-graduate experience. I am the recipient of the prestigious Tony Elumelu Foundation award in 2017 recognition of my entrepreneurship drive in Nigeria and was awarded a cash sum of $ 5,000 to pursue my innovative pursuits. I have worked on a variety of sustainable energy initiatives including starting the first student chapter of the Students for Sustainable Energy for All (SSEA) at my university in Nigeria (2014) where we organized educational outreach programs on sustainability issues and developed pilot projects for implementation. I have been a part of various government and private sector dialogue forums, including the monthly Nextier Power Forum in Abuja, the United Nations Industrial Development Organization's Validation Workshop for Biomass Projects in Ogun State, the Stakeholder's Assembly on Power organized by the judiciary and legislative arms of government, the Nigerian Alternative Energy Expo in Abuja to name a few. I have worked alongside public and private institutions in Nigeria to pitch and develop my decentralized power project, working with the Ogun State Government and Onyx Rice Mill in Niger state. I was recently awarded the Chevening Scholarship in 2018 to study a Masters program in the United Kingdom driven at bolstering my knowledge in my chosen field.

Strengthen the means of implementation and revitalize the Global Partnership for Sustainable Development	Nigeria, Ghana	Yes	Onyx Rice Mill, UNIDO Nigeria and GIZ in Nigeria	Proof of Concept	We have developed the Proof of Concept (PoC) model and are in the process of implementation to demonstrate the viability of the project. The PoC will reveal the potential pitfalls of the project and address key concerns surrounding the technology behind the process	We are attempting to solve energy poverty in communities which lack grid-based power supply. This is aimed at fostering economic growth and development in these communities which have been neglected in past years. We are also attempting to curb climate change my using our solution to displace the use of more harmful energy generation practices as seen with the use of generator sets which spew harmful greenhouse gas emissions into the environment	The Combined Heat and Power unit works by utilizing biomass waste in the form of sawdust or rice husk to produce high temperatures and heat in a boiler unit. The heat is then used to produce high grade steam which drives a turbine connected to a shaft to produce electrical work. Some of the steam is redirected for use in process systems which require large heat inputs. The system is capable of producing 4 KWe of electricity and 10 Kg/hr of steam. The long-term goal of this project is to replicate it on a much larger scale allowing for large inputs of waste material to generate power in large Combined Heat and Power Units. The aim is to foster growth in rural communities, provide an alternative to fossil fuel based powered generator sets and help in addressing climate change by implementing these solutions in countries across the region and the globe.	Solutions to curbing energy poverty in these regions have largely been driven by the use of solar panels which produce electricity when sunlight hits its surface. This relies heavily on solar input which can be unavailable on days with heavy cloud cover and low solar penetration. This technology also is only capable of generating electricity and does not solve the heat input problem which many communities require for industrial processes. This technology seeks to address these problems in tandem by offering to generate both heat and power for applications which range from industrial use to residential lighting purposes. This hopes to bridge the energy gap on two fronts while at the same time addressing other persistent challenges related to poor waste management practices practiced in these communities.	We have developed the prototype for the project and are at the stage of setting up its pilot. The project is currently being vetted by finance and grant institutions for the purpose of offering funding to set-up the project. We have liased with private institutions, particularly rice milling institutions in Nigeria which require large heat and power inputs to run their mills. Milestones are measured principally through the acquisition of certain documents such as a Power Purchase Agreement with the energy consumer, a Purchase Agreement with a supplier of the raw material and making a part payment for the equipment supplied from an international equipment dealer.	Once we have established the viability of the pilot project, we hope to scale the solution to a 500 KW plant. This plant will have the a standing capacity to produce 500 KW of power while at the same time providing heat to industrial processes. We also hope to employ around 50 people to man and run the plant and hope to offer additional jobs to suppliers of raw materials (i.e. saw dust and rice husks). We hope to expand this solution to the neighboring country of Ghana which has similar energy challenges.	The key resources required are the finances required to erect the pilot model developed thus far. Outlining these goals and needs in phases are as follows: Short-term Needs: Financial support of $100,000 to implement pilot scheme. Demonstrate viability, establish solid partnerships with suppliers of raw materials. Medium-Term Needs: Move towards larger scale implementation of project, establish larger support team. Move to garner greater regional support for project implementation. Long-Term Needs: Obtain backing of global international development institutions and private development institutions of repute for crosse-regional deployment.	1. https://nugenesisenergy.com	1. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OPLIaMMA2Oo	1.

I was born in a remote village when Liberia’s 14 years’ civil war was just seven years old. My parents sought refuge and safety from the civil wars in the forest. We slept in bushes; had no food to eat, no healthcare, and I became malnourished and nearly dead. But, thanks to my parents who stood the test of times and made me to be alive and the person I am today. The war lasted 14 years, ravaged the entire country, and killed over 250,000 people and ended in 2005 when I was 18. The challenges made me stronger, bore in me a spirit to preserve, and inspired me to understand the true meaning and the purpose of life—to look beyond my own needs to see other people’s needs. Out of the challenges, a vision was born—a vision to reconcile, reunite and to empower fellow young Liberians and children who were abused, used as child soldiers and denied opportunities to develop into productive citizens, to live well, to heal from the effects of the civil wars, to pursue their dreams, and to become independent men and women. In 2008, I led, established and registered YONER Liberia, as a Non-Profit Social Enterprise in Paynesville; has designed and implemented several innovative projects through its two Flagship Programs - “Giving Back to our Community Action Initiative” and “Entrepreneurship Education Initiative”. Together, these projects have empowered over 50,000 youth and children affected by Liberia’s civil war. Additionally, since 2016, YONER Liberia has emphasized on entrepreneurship and ICT Innovation, thus; recruited, trained and supported more than 5,000 high school and university students in five counties to learn and apply science, social entrepreneurship skills, and technology to their lives and to solve problems and to drive Liberia’s growth and development in the 21st Century.

YONER Liberia is poised to empower Liberia’s young people by continuing to train them in entrepreneurship and technology skills in order to learn and use the skills & tools to advance themselves and live a quality life.	Paynesville has over 400,000 people, and is Liberia’s 2nd largest and populated city. Youth ages 15-35 constitutes about 70%. Due to a multitude of factors, this demographic finds themselves in vulnerable employment, with limited venture-driven skills and tools attainment, and limited or no opportunities to forge a path toward a better future. There are lots of economic driven crimes particularly among the youth which is as a result of the lack of employable skills and opportunities for youth.	YONER Liberia has two customized programs: High School – YONER Liberia runs an annual entrepreneurship competition in various high schools as extracurricular activities - recruits students, form them in team of 3 and pair them with mentors and in a month, conduct research in their communities, identify social challenges and turn them into business solutions. They are further processed through a week-long innovation lab to refine their ideas, and acquire skills in presentation, public speaking, pitching, business & financial management and ethics, customer services. They live pitch their business to a panel of judges and the best businesses are selected and receive cash prizes for start-up support. Entrepreneurial Academy – this is a six months in-depth entrepreneurial and ICT innovation training for 100 high school graduates and college students annually. In the first 4 months, they are given innovative and venture-driven skills and tools to identify existing problems and conceive/ develop new solutions for business. The fellows participate in a ‘Venture Café’, form into 20 teams, pair them with suitable mentors and work together over two months period and develop business solutions. They live pitch their ventures to a panel of judges. The judges select the 6-best venture ideas and receive cash prizes/awards and further given the needed platforms inclusive of relevant tools and other resources for business start-up support to register, launch or expand their ventures.	An example on the High School - Form a Project Management Team, designs our project, raise-funds. Engage earmarked high schools authorities, establish partnership, schools nominate 20 students, gender balanced, we conduct an interview to assess the students entrepreneurial ideas and passion, select between 3 to 9 students, form them in a group of 3, recruit mentors and pair, and launch a month-long Mentorship Institute - where students and mentors work together with support and guidance from our team to develop business ideas. The ideas are submitted into full business proposals and pitch decks at the deadline. Conduct preliminary rounds of competition, selected teams move to a week-long innovation lab for co-creation and where content and business experts further mentor them by reviewing their business proposals, and pitch decks and give feedback for improvement, and other skills including public speaking, presentation, elevator pitching, dress code for business, among others. We then host the semi-final live pitch competition, and selected teams move to the National Grand Live Pitch Competition. Winners receive awards and cash prizes. The overall first winner travels to the US to participate in our partner, University of Delaware's High School Entrepreneurship Competition for a share of US$100,000. Participants become part of our growing network, have access to our office space and continue to work on and improve on their business ideas and compete in other competitions.	Example on the Entrepreneurial Academy – Over the last 3 years, YONER Liberia has received over US$75,000 from the US Department of State's Office for GIST Initiative and US Embassy Monrovia and successfully implemented a number of entrepreneurship & ICT Innovation Projects Including Liberia's first 'Entrepreneurship Academy"".

26	I am submitting a Solution to be considered for inclusion in UN Solutions Summit	Yusuf	Shegow	Somali Architecture	www.somaliarchitecture.com	Founder; Architectural Assistant	Male	United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland	Somalia	English	Almost 5 years ago during whilst in university, I was inspired by a workshop I was involved in recreating 3D models of Manchester. I then took this idea and started archiving old historical building of Somalia that was lost during the war and started raising awareness of the importance of our national heritage. This then caught bot national and international attention to which we were invited to exhibit what we worked on at London Design Biennale, Manchester and recently UNESCO in Paris.	Born in Mogadishu, Somalia, I moved to the UK at the age of 13. I studied at Manchester School of Architecture where I earned his Bachelor’s degree and Masters thereafter. Inspired by my studies and love for my homeland, I founded Somali Architecture in 2015. What initially began as a platform to share images of pre-war Somalia, later evolved into a research project. This involved recreating historic buildings destroyed in the war using digital 3D models. Having travelled extensively across Europe, Asia, Africa and the US, I have seen how architecture has changed neighbourhoods and communities for the better. It has the power to shift the equilibrium of a city in a more progressive direction, building by building. I have grown to understand how architecture blends engineering, art and science to transform cities and individual lives. Last year SA team including Ahmed Mussa, Madina Scacchi and Iman Mohamed. were invited to exhibit alongside 40 other countries at the London Design Biennale 2018. £30,000 was raised through crowdfunding and sponsorships to deliver the exhibition - “What Remains”. The exhibition celebrated the remnants of the country’s rich architectural past, offering the hope of a brighter future. Due to the success of the exhibition in London, We have been invited to exhibit in Manchester and UNESCO. Last year I was invited as a guest speaker for the first-ever Mogadishu Tech Summit 2018. Sharing a platform with leading Somali innovators, I presented our vision for Somali Architecture and the importance of preserving the country’s heritage.	Raise Awareness	Raise awareness on the importance of architecture which tie in to Global Goals of 11.	Goal 11. Make cities and human settlements inclusive, safe, resilient and sustainable	Somalia	No		Transition to Scale	After raising awareness for the past 4 years we have managed to achieve our short term goals, we are now in the process of scaling so that our long term goals can be achieved. Which is to have an impact on the built environment how we can be sustainable as a recovering country to be more sustainable.	Currently, in Somalia, we do not have National Heritage for the built environment or the guidance of UNESCO or other organisation. We have now managed to achieve in getting international organisation involved, bringing communities together and the importance of the built environment.	Our long term goal is to build a team that will be able to carry out more research on how to achieve sustainable communities that are aware of their surrounding, educate the younger generation. Before us, there was little to none about the importance of architecture and the built environment. create an office where this research can be carried forward with office equipment and everything we need. Raise more fund or partner up with other organisations.	What makes us unique is that we are using all type of media to have an impact using social media to get the message around and exhibiting our work to make it more interesting something that has not been done within Somalia. The work we are carrying is mostly research and a lot of historical archives but makes is more interesting is that we are using, social media including Instagram, Twitter, Facebook and Youtube to post videos, images to make it more interesting, and recently we started using VR to showcase people buildings that have been destroyed during the war. We also use 3D print to showcase how these look in 3D form.	Last year we have raised funds and managed to get a sponsor for our exhibitions showing that people are beginning to realise how important our built environment is. We have also been invited to other places in one of our social media ""Snapchat"" we have managed to build an audience of over 20 million people viewing our filters part of aim in raising awareness. Our audience is growing.	- Build Team - Expand to other cities in Somalia - Implement or have an impact on local or national governance - Create workshops - Have talks, panel discussions.	This ties up to the above 5 points, building a local team in Mogadishu and partnering up with an organisation that aligns with our ethos. Since we are non-profit see how we can get funds to pay for our staff and have long term partner with organisations that will give us equipment.	https://twitter.com/Somarchitecture www.somaliarchitecture.com https://www.instagram.com/somaliarchitecture/ https://sketchfab.com/SomaliArchitecture https://www.archdaily.com/891577/somali-architecture-students-digitally-preserve-their-countrys-heritage-before-its-too-late https://www.designindaba.com/articles/creative-work/somali-architecture-students-are-stitching-back-countrys-built-heritage https://www.designindaba.com/articles/creative-work/somali-architecture-students-are-stitching-back-countrys-built-heritage https://www.citylab.com/design/2018/11/somalia-mogadishu-3-d-model-architecture-history/574375/	https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lgRgrzoLei8

29	I am submitting a Solution to be considered for inclusion in UN Solutions Summit	Reagan	Mudziwapasi	Lupane State University	www.lsu.ac.zw	Lecturer	Male	Zimbabwe	Zimbabwe	English	I am motivated by the desire to solve the environmental and social problems obtaining in the marginalised and rural area where i leave and in the world. I therefore want to help highlight the problems and inspire more people to develop solutions to them. Additionally the UN Solutions Summit will is a great platform for me to showcase my innovations, learn from other innovators, network with business and forge collaborations with great social causes. Through this platform i will be able to add my voice to solving some of the problems bedeviling the world. I have used innovation for positive global impact by inventing, patenting and commercialising biodegradable planting bags i make from waste material. A tobacco company in Zimbabwe was accumulating between 200 and 300 tonnes of organic waste. They would dump it at a landfill until it was banned because it burnt for weeks and cause air pollution in surrounding residential areas. I then developed the biodegradable planting bags from the waste converting it into a new environmentally friendly product. Zimbabwe targets to plant 500 million trees by the year 2026 and USA alone plants 1 billion trees and 1 billion flowers annually. There is thus scope to sell the biodegradable planting bags in many countries thereby reducing the number of plastics used in tree and flower planting. This will reduce cancer cases from carcinogens released into the environment (water and land) by plastics. The chemicals include bisphenol A and phthalates. Additionally number of animals that are choked by plastics will be reduced. I developed reusable fly trap for use by farmers and the general populace. It is made from used PET bottles and animal waste. It reduces cost of fly traps from $10 to below $0.50 and it helps reduce plastic use and environmental pollution from PET and animal waste dumping. I developed a vermifiltration based bioreactor for wastewater treatment and recycling. It is a low cost, low energy and environmentally friendly technology that uses earthworms to treat sewage. It has application in many African countries were water shortages are recurrent and sewage treatment is a problem leading to frequent outbreaks of cholera and typhoid. I advised a local council on the technology and they want to install the system for their residents. Currently i am working on electrolysis of water to produce hydrogen. I believe hydrogen is the cleanest energy of the future and it will be used to power many engines globally.	Reagan Mudziwapasi is a biotechnologist with interests in waste management.

Biodegradable planting bags	Biodegradable planting bags for use in tree and flower nurseries	Goal 2. End hunger, achieve food security and improved nutrition and promote sustainable agriculture \| Goal 6. Ensure availability and sustainable management of water and sanitation for all \| Goal 12. Ensure sustainable consumption and production patterns \| Goal 15. Protect, restore and promote sustainable use of terrestrial ecosystems, sustainably manage forests, combat desertification, and halt and reverse land degradation and halt biodiversity loss	Zimbabwe, USA, South Africa, Zambia, Kenya and Malawi	No		Transition to Scale	The solution was tested and patented. Some units were and are being sold already. There are talks to partner some people in mass production of the bags.	It addresses waste dumping which results in environmental pollution. The solution is made from a waste product of tobacco packaging which causes problems in disposal since it burns for long periods of time and does not compost uniformly. It addresses use of plastic in tree and flower planting by offering an alternative to plastics which release carcinogenic chemicals such as bisphenol A and phthalates into the environment. The solution thus helps to reduce cancer incidences.	The solution is organic. It can thus decay when buried underground during tree planting. This process will take about six weeks which is sufficient for plant development. When on top of the ground the biodegradable bags can take more than three months before they are degraded or decompose. Thus they can be used in plant nurseries. When the bags decay the produce environmentally friendly products since they are made from organic plant fiber. The bags have a excellent aeration and drainage because of the pores in the fibers. They thus do not hinder root development. Unlike plastic when you transplant your plantlet you can plant it with the bag avoiding root damage which can result in poor plant development. This is because the bags take a short time to decay. The long term vision for global impact is to eliminate use of plastics in nurseries in the next 15 years. Thus there are plans to take the technology to other countries through forestry commissions, NGOs and other avenues. There will thus be massive marketing using social media and high level engagements with governments and business to promote uptake of the bags. Current and past engagements with government agencies staff, students, fellow innovators etc have brought positive feedback. More waste materials will be tested in order to use them in production of the biodegradable bags ultimately reducing amounts of waste destined for the landfill in the world..	The solution uses waste material thereby closing the loop in terms of waste generation. It does not produce toxic chemicals when it decomposes and it is cheaper that plastic alternatives. It also performs better than plastic since it has better aeration and drainage and avoids rotting of roots.	The solution was tested in two locations namely Chinhoyi and Lupane at two universities. It was patented through the Zimbabwe Intellectual Property office. I measure our progress using timelines and feedback from customers and students who tested the product. The methods used to test performance of the solution are scientific and are guided by statistics. Thus they are of considerable rigor.	The goal is to take the solution to take the solution to South Africa, Zambia, Kenya, Malawi and USA, respectively in the next 5 years. Other countries will be entered thereafter. In the year 2022 the solution will enter South African and Zambian market. In 2024 it will enter Kenya, Malawi and USA. Staff with expertise in fitting and turning as well as automation, international marketing, social media marketing, packaging, production, transport and logistics, human resources management, public relations, resource mobilisation, law, research, agriculture, accounting and management will be recruited. Other general employees with skills such as driving will also be recruited. recruitment will be gender sensitive and will seek to empower people from marginalised communities. The solution is projected to impact 100 000 people by 2022 and about 2 billion people by 2030. This will be achieved through job creation, corporate social responsibility and reduction in air and land pollution as well as exposure to cancer causing chemicals.	Currently the the resources needed are working space, equipment such as sewing machines and automated sewing machines. We also require more raw material from China and a solar system to power the machines when there is no electricity even though the plan is to run 100 % on solar. Additionally we need computers, printers, packaging equipment, delivery vehicles and storage centres. We also need human resources to produce the bags and to run the company professionally on a full time basis.	https://www.stwnewspress.com/news/mandela-washington-fellows-present-groundbreaking-agricultural-ideas/article_71d5a8b3-0618-5517-9188-b3260e9562e8.html https://www.irex.org/people/reagan-mudziwapasi https://www.unccd.int/sites/default/files/relevant-links/2017-10/Reagan%20Mudziwapasi%20%28Zimbabwe%29on%20COP13.pdf http://article.sapub.org/10.5923.j.re.20160601.03.html https://app.dimensions.ai/details/publication/pub.1104511072 https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6264469/ https://www.scopemed.org/?mno=223895	https://www.flickr.com/photos/washingtonfellowship/48132371503/in/album-72157709242823393/	Poster pitch competition at Oklahoma State University-Number 3

Exhaustive research has shown over the years sustainable development for all countries is only truly possible through comprehensive cross-sector efforts that begin with education. A careful recent pilot survey conducted on the Global Goals in Ghana revealed that 82% of people are not well aware of the goals and the imperative need to mount an awareness campaign about the Global Goals through education to garner support for their implementation.	Education undoubtedly can accelerate progress towards the achievement of each of the proposed sustainable development goals between now and 2030 in a multiplicity of ways. Becoming much aware of the goals with their various targets will help people who would be precisely youth, to contribute meaningfully towards the implementation of the global goals. The target group are youth between ages 10-35. This awareness campaign would provide the platform to galvanize support to make the SDGs achievable. Below are the objectives of the project: To create awareness about the Global Goals in Schools To give students in-depth knowledge of the various Global Goals and what they seek to achieve To prepare the youth to contribute to the SDG’s implementation To poach and mentor potential Change Makers To build a society of youth who are capable of contributing immensely to developmental issues To help the youth harness their entrepreneurial skill to create employment opportunities The project has since informed a cross section of Ghanaians about what the Global Goals are about and prepare change makers to help in the SDG’s implementations taking into consideration the objectives of the project. The project is expected to help the youth to initiate projects that align with any of the SDGs. We are of the conviction this awareness program would continue to yield commensurate returns to help push the SDG's agenda forward.	The project has been embarked on through visitations where the team gives factual presentations on the SDG’s in seminars, conference, symposiums, soirees, talk shows among others. Education on the Global Goals has been a mixture of visual presentation using SDG'S icon cards, projected screens as well as prepared speeches. The project content is designed to be an interactive session which would open room for questions from audience or participants and answers from facilitators. The project stresses on how and ways to initiate projects or events that align with the SDGs The project has been decentralized to the ten regions of Ghana. There has been a monitoring team at the national level to supervise and coordinate work at the regional level. Reports on the impact of the project are made available to organizations, civil society groups, other stakeholders and through blogs.	We have been able to add innovative ways to this project as the years pass by from 2016. We are able to measure our impact through number of people reached and practical solutions they initiate and execute for the greater good. We do so through follow ups, monitoring and evaluation and analysis of data we gather in the process.	Apart from the SDGs campaign in Ghana, the team convened SDGs Training Sessions at the Université Félix Houphouët-Boigny in the Cocody section of Abidjan, Côte D'Ivoire for 1,300 students of the university and CEOs of 7 youth-led organizations. These sessions poached talents who are currently working on various practical projects on education, sanitation, climate change,gender equality and decent work in Côte D'Ivoire . The team partnered with Brand For Humanity Pte Ltd in Singapore and held a training event on SDGs and entrepreneurship at the National Junior College in Singapore for 1000 change makers within the Asian Pacific Zone. We measure our impact by the number of people reach who practically initiate solutions to address any of the SDGs.	Logistics and finances involved in all these activities so far have been hugely self-funded by the team. We have had challenges with this initiative and despite the lack of financial, technical and logistical support , the team have through their own coffers been able to provide educational materials and other logistics in their small way. We have since written to some corporate organizations to support this initiative and still awaiting responses. We need SDGs branded souvenirs like baseball caps, flashcards,T'shirts among others,a means of transport to be able to reach out to most communities in Ghana.	https://twitter.com/ravikarkara/status/828270837350424576 https://twitter.com/Mandy_Sanghera1/status/828148792717348865 https://twitter.com/ravikarkara/status/828266376649392128 https://twitter.com/UNWOMEN4Youth/status/825475972707315713 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9qlqjg_itNQ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CeZCqpSTVa8 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NSutcrhRddE https://www.facebook.com/wm.grikob/ https://www.globalpeoplesummit.org/team/joshua-kobla-adzakpa https://www.facebook.com/joshua.adzakpa/posts/1330843796966787 https://grikobfoundationgh.org/micro-enterprise-training-for-rural-women-in-the-gomoa-east-district-of-ghana/ https://www.modernghana.com/news/757849/global-goals-for-the-greater-goodworld-merit-ghana raises.html?_e_pi_=7%2CPAGE_ID10%2C536052688 https://www.graphic.com.gh/news/general-news/two-ngos-organise-health-screening-for-nsawam-inmates-and-officers.html https://www.instagram.com/joeadzakpa/ https://twitter.com/Joeadzakpa https://www.linkedin.com/in/joshua-kobla-adzakpa-62888ba8?trk=nav_responsive_tab_profile https://www.facebook.com/joshua.adzakpa	https://twitter.com/ravikarkara/status/828270837350424576 https://twitter.com/Mandy_Sanghera1/status/828148792717348865 https://twitter.com/ravikarkara/status/828266376649392128 https://twitter.com/UNWOMEN4Youth/status/825475972707315713 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9qlqjg_itNQ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CeZCqpSTVa8 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NSutcrhRddE https://www.facebook.com/wm.grikob/ https://www.globalpeoplesummit.org/team/joshua-kobla-adzakpa https://www.facebook.com/joshua.adzakpa/posts/1330843796966787 https://grikobfoundationgh.org/micro-enterprise-training-for-rural-women-in-the-gomoa-east-district-of-ghana/ https://www.modernghana.com/news/757849/global-goals-for-the-greater-goodworld-merit-ghana raises.html?_e_pi_=7%2CPAGE_ID10%2C536052688 https://www.graphic.com.gh/news/general-news/two-ngos-organise-health-screening-for-nsawam-inmates-and-officers.html https://www.instagram.com/joeadzakpa/ https://twitter.com/Joeadzakpa https://www.linkedin.com/in/joshua-kobla-adzakpa-62888ba8?trk=nav_responsive_tab_profile https://www.facebook.com/joshua.adzakpa	Associate Fellow of the Royal Commonwealth Society Global People's Fellow Sage Ghana Ambassador
32	I am submitting a Solution to be considered for inclusion in UN Solutions Summit	Sebastien	de Halleux	Saildrone, inc.	https://www.saildrone.com/	Chief Operating Officer	Male	United States of America	Swaziland	English \| French	We would like to submit our solution (wind & solar ocean drones quantifying our oceans) to share how technology can contribute to the UN Decade of Oceans, UN development goals (especially SDG14) and drive data-driven positive change for all countries, developed and developing around the world. Oceans cover 70% of our planet and drive planetary systems like extreme weather, fisheries, carbon cycle, maritime transport, energy generation etc that impact humanity. Saildrone designs and manufactures wind and solar-powered autonomous surface vehicles called saildrones, which make cost-effective ocean data collection possible at scale. We are building the world's largest high-resolution ocean datasets, working with communities, governments and private companies around the globe. We believe that better inputs in planetary models will yield better outputs and that new insights gained in weather forecasting, carbon cycling, global fishing, and climate change will have a tremendous impact on humanity. As the old adage go: ""You cannot fix what you cannot measure and you cannot adapt to what you don't know.""	Sebastien de Halleux is currently chief operating officer at Saildrone, a company that designs, manufactures and operates a global fleet of wind- and solar-powered ocean drones monitoring the state of the planet in real time. Saildrone's mission is to quantify planetary systems that affect humanity like extreme weather, global fisheries and carbon fluxes. Before Saildrone, de Halleux cofounded a video games company called Playfish, which disrupted the industry by turning solitary game play into social experiences. Playfish attracted hundreds of million of users before being acquired by Electronics Arts. He also helped launch one of the very first mobile game companies back when mobiles had black and white screens and actual keypads, which IPOed on NASDAQ. An internationally recognized leader, recipient of the Tech 100 and Tech Fellow Awards and member of the Aspen Global Leadership Network, de Halleux holds a master's in civil and environmental engineering from Imperial College, London. In his spare time, he spends every minute with his children and friends on his sailboat or driving a mobile cinema truck trough rural Africa. He recently welcomed his fourth child, a daughter named Xochi.	Saildrone	Understanding planetary systems affecting humanity using wind and solar powered ocean drones	Goal 14. Conserve and sustainably use the oceans, seas and marine resources for sustainable development	USA, Canada, Mexico, Australia, Japan, Norway, France, Germany, Spain, Portugal, Italy, Cape Verde, Cook Islands (more to come)	Yes	NOAA (USA), NASA (USA), CSIRO (AUS), JAMSTEC (Japan), IMR (Norway), The Schmidt Family Foundation, Capricorn Investment Group (Jeff Skoll), The Oak Foundation, The Li Ka Shing Foundation (and many others)	Scaling	After 7 years of R&D and validation, working with the best scientific institutions on the planet (NOAA, NASA, CSIRO, JAMSTEC, IMR and many others), our Saildrone solution has been recognized as capable of collecting climate-quality data from any ocean anywhere around the world, including atmospheric data, oceanographic data, fish biomass, carbon flux, and bathymetry information as accurately as any research vessel, while being several order of magnitude cheaper.	70pc of our planet is covered by oceans but they are mostly unknown. We measure them using ships which cost $100m+ each to buy and $25k-$100k a day to operate, while generating huge amount of carbon emissions. Satellites give us a big picture but cannot see below the surface and have poor resolution. Saildrone are wind and solar powered autonomous and unmanned ocean vehicles which collect high precision data from the world oceans without any carbon footprint.	At the heart of our solution is the Saildrone USV (Unmanned Surface Vehicle). Each vehicle is 7m long by 5m high and 2.5m deep, and weighs 750kg. The main characteristic is that there is no engine and no fuel, instead the vehicle relies on a a 'wing' to harness wind-power for propulsion and solar panels to power the onboard sensors and computers. This enables them to stay at sea for over 12 months at the time, measuring the environmental variables and transmitting live data via satellite back to shore. The data measured includes all the key environmental variables: atmospheric (wind, air temperature, humidity, pressure, solar radiation, CO2); oceanographic (water temperature, salinity, oxygen, pH, CO2, chlorophyll, wave height and period, currents directions and velocity); fish biomass using echo sounders; and seabed mapping using multibeam echo sounders. This data is sent back to shore and distributed to our global science partners for data quality control and for ingestion into numerical models that provide new insights that impact humanity such as estimate of fish stock, measurement of pollutants, mapping of hypoxia zones due to agricultural run-off, weather predictions, climate predictions, carbon budget, ocean acidification, and monitoring of illegal fishing. We make the outcome of these models easily accessible to the general public, such as enhanced weather forecasting for any point on the planet available for any community at https://forecast.saildrone.com/	Most planetary observing technologies focus either on land (billions of sensors) or in space (satellites and microsats). Almost no technology focuses on the ocean, which cover 70pc of the planet. Ocean technology is still mostly relying on ships and moorings, making data both expensive and scarce and out of reach of most but the richest nations. Beyond the technology, our innovative go-to-market approach is also unprecedented. We don't sell the saildrones. Instead we offer our science partners high quality ocean data on a fully managed service basis (Mission-as-a-Service). This means that Saildrone takes care of all manufacturing, sensor integration, shipping and deployment logistics around the world, and runs mission 24/7 on behalf of our partners. This enables scientists to focus on science rather than complex infrastructure, reduces risk and increases cost efficiency. We raised private capital to pay for the capital expenditure, so there is no upfront investment from users in using saildrone. Overall we have lowered the cost of ocean data acquisition by several order of magnitude to about US$2,500 a day-at-sea of data collection.	Here's a timeline of our progress: - 2001-2009: initial R&D into wind propulsion resulting into patented wing design (measure: world speed record; wing patent filed) - 2009-2012: initial R&D into ocean vehicle capable of crossing an ocean (measure: successful ocean crossing) - 2012-2016: initial R&D to instrument a saildrone for scientific data collection, under public private partnership with the US National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) - 2016-2018: rigorous scientific validation of the saildrone data with scientific institutions around the world: science papers published for each data stream (summarized here: https://www.saildrone.com/data-quality#science-papers) - 2018-current: scaling of global operations, 100 saildrones, 500,000 nautical miles of missions, operations in ALL key oceans: Arctic, Pacific, Atlantic, Gulf of Mexico, North Sea, Med, Indian, Southern Ocean with over 30 science partners across all continents.	Our longer term goal is to achieve full planetary coverage and enable real-time monitoring of our global oceans at a 6x6 degree resolution. This will require 1,000 saildrones. We call this concept: 'The Quantified Planet'. It follows on the blueprint of the Argo network of ocean profilers (4,000 profilers at 3x3 degree resolution), a scientific infrastructure that has enabled humanity to answer the question of the heat budget of the planet (ie Global Warming). We expect to open 20 operating hubs around the world, working with many 'Large Ocean Nations' (formerly 'Small Island Developing States'), to act as launch and maintenance hubs for regional fleets of saildrones. We believe that the data collected will impact humanity at large, as weather and other phenomenons include every human beings on the planet. This reinforces the goal of SD14, contributes to the UN Decade of Oceans, and many other regional development goals (blue economy).	The key resource needed is long term financial commitments by the private and public sectors to support the operational running expense of this solution. This is in the order of $30 to $100m per annum for global coverage to cover things like satellite communications, data infrastructure, global logistics, local capacity building, scientific data analysis and dissemination, and educational outreach. The need is very similar to the funding requirements of the successful Argo network, which is funded via a global consortium under the UN IOC.

33	I am submitting a Solution to be considered for inclusion in UN Solutions Summit	Chiyanika	Nakasamu	Greenbelt Energy Corporation	N/A	CFO/Co-Founder	Male	Zambia	Zambia	English	I grew up under the care of my grandmother who is a smallholder farmer in one of Zambia’s rural communities, as a statistic in the 70% rural poverty rate in Zambia’s rural area of Kanakantapa, this back ground gave me the desire and passion to be an active hand in the call to end poverty and hunger in Africa. Thus I co-founded Greenbelt Energy Corp an agribusiness firm that offers a positive social economic pathway to thousands of poor rural African communities without leaving anyone behind. The community benefits from the innovation through improved rural community livelihoods through increased incomes as a result of increased producer productivity, increased sustainable forest use, increased access to low cost and Eco-friendly production systems and increased women participation in the out-grower scheme.	Chiyanika Nakasamu is an award winning individual who uses data to solve financial inclusion and climate change related challenges. I am a banking and finance executive with 2 years experience in financial management and business advisory strategy formulation. As a agribusiness leader i have encountered multiple challenges in running a social enterprise business, as a result, i faced a lot of discouragements which almost made me to quit. But the desire and my passion to make a significant impact on lives of people who are still suffering have enabled me to strive and keep fight until i help them find their way out of poverty.	Data science and Artificial Intelligence	We are using drone technology for data collection and analysis to solve social-economic problems across the agriculture sector	Goal 1. End poverty in all its forms everywhere \| Goal 2. End hunger, achieve food security and improved nutrition and promote sustainable agriculture	This initiative will be implemented in Zambia	Yes	Rural Finance Expansion Program, Ministry of Agriculture, Idrone Zambia Services, Hollard Insurance and Barclays Bank	Transition to Scale	We have proved that using low cost drones for agriculture mapping, data collection and analysis, it is possible to help small scale farmers to do farming efficiently and improve the interaction between small scale farmer and financial providers. This concept was tested on selected small scale farmer's fields and was proved to be viable, efficiently, effective and sustainable. The innovation of this concept lies in providing small scale farmers with real time information for decision making.	The major problem facing rural communities and smallholder farmers is the problem of low crop productivity due to lack of access to financial services from financial providers. Statistics indicate that Zambia has an estimate 1.6 million smallholder farmers of which over 80% have low crop productivity. Small-scale farmers face specific constraints that hinder their productivity, thus perpetuating low incomes and contributing to persistent rural poverty.	We provide rural communities and smallholder farmers with access to good and sustainable agriculture practices which will increase their crop production by 80% and improve their interaction with financial providers. Our aim is to promote sustainable farming systems by reassessing farm product life cycles and production systems using artificial intelligence designed repair and reuse system to boost producer productivity and reduce post harvest losses. Thus we intend to develop low cost drones and AI, data science based solution to promote precision farming among smallholder farmers and rural communities. Use our system to collect, store and analyze data based on its geographic location, this will enable us to provide actionable information for crop protection and boost yield among small holder farmers and rural communities.	. The use of technologies such as SAP Leonardo and Cloud IOT Core will allow us to connect, manage, collect and analyze IoT data from sensors and smart devices to transform business models, processes, and operations. This will enable us to develop models which determine the best farming methods depending on the data mapped conditions and propel the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) capabilities with human expertise and computer insights to promote precision farming. We will use low cost drones to collect data on farm field through mapping. The crop data collected is analyzed using drone deploy software to come up with field crop data, crop growth model soil analysis mapping, fertilizer recommendation and weather data.	We have gone as far as securing funds for this project from interested partners and we have equally tried to engage relevant authorities and decision makers who can help us get required certificates for use to start operating. our pilot project was tested 3 month ago on 50 farm fields. Our success is measured through the number of small scale farmers to our services and increase in crop production.	We are targeting about 50,000 small scale farmers and we intend to create over 5000 job to rural youth and women. This project will expand to Malawi, Zimbabwe and Botswana	Deploying drone technology to provide precision farming service to small scale farmers is very challenging because of low income levels characterizing the agriculture sector. What we currently need is more funding that will help us sustainable in the long run. we need advanced drones and analytic software that will enable us to come up with effective prediction models.	https://vimeo.com/259074262	https://web.facebook.com/search/top/?q=BongoHive&ref=eyJzaWQiOiIwLjA2NDQ2MDYyMTI5Mjc1MjQzIiwicXMiOiJKVFZDSlRJeVFtOXVaMjlJYVhabEpUSXlKVFZFIiwiZ3YiOiJiZWUwOWY5M2ZhNzMyY2ZhNTlhMWNiNmQ5ZjQ1MGQzODkyNDI0ZTQ5IiwiZW50X2lkcyI6W10sImJzaWQiOiI1OTNmOTM2OWQxNjhiN2FlMmExZDY3YWFhODJhMzUyNCIsInByZWxvYWRlZF9lbnRpdHlfaWRzIjpudWxsLCJwcmVsb2FkZWRfZW50aXR5X3R5cGUiOm51bGwsInJlZiI6ImJyX3RmIiwiY3NpZCI6bnVsbCwiaGlnaF9jb25maWRlbmNlX2FyZ3VtZW50IjpudWxsLCJjbGllbnRfdGltZV9tcyI6MTU2MzU1NzM3ODc1OX0&epa=SEARCH_BOX	We won 2016 Nyamuka Zambia Business competition, we come second in Data Hack innovation award.

Prior to joining RAND, I worked as an electrical projects and maintenance engineer at an industrial power plant and as a technical consultant at an energy consulting firm in Pakistan. I came to the United States in 2013-14 for my Masters in Energy Systems at the University of Southern California in LA. At USC, I got enrolled in policy and business school electives and had a chance to do a summer internship at the UNDP in NY in 2014-15. Since then, I've become an advocate and proponent of policy solutions to the world's environmental problems. I co-authored a paper on Climatic Impacts on Youth, Peace and Security as part of the UN Sustainable Solutions Network and presented it at the ICSD at Columbia University. I take a keen interest in international affairs and politics and am a regular freelance writer in various online and journal publications (including the LA Times). My research interests revolve around autonomous transport, climate change, infrastructure resilience, future of work and the smart grid. I have experience working on lifecycle analysis of photovoltaic-based off-grid electrical systems and feasibility of 'platooning' autonomous vehicle fleets to tackle traffic congestion in Los Angeles. Apart from my Phd focus in policy, I am an IEEE-accredited electrical engineer and an ASQ certified Six Sigma Green Belt. At RAND, I am currently involved in projects like developing performance measures for public health emergency handling, estimating benefits of autonomous vehicles, evaluation of transboundary environmental impacts on India-Pakistan relations and cybersecurity of unmanned aerial vehicles. I also have the U.S. Green Building Council certification in Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design (LEED). I believe that the UN Solutions Summit would provide me an opportunity to take my dissertation idea around hyper-local air quality monitoring through citizen science to a global level. I see the city I grew up in (Lahore) at #6 worldwide in terms of particulate matter pollution and therefore have a deep interest in exploring hyper local air quality monitoring.

Hyper-local Air Quality Monitoring: Applications in the developing world.	Reducing Particulate Matter Exposure through Smart City Design: Quantifying the impact of built environment on PM 2.5 emissions.	Goal 3.

Promote peaceful and inclusive societies for sustainable development, provide access to justice for all and build effective, accountable and inclusive institutions at all levels	United States	Yes	https://www.prgs.edu/cazier-initiative.html	Transition to Scale	We have deployed 30 sensors to monitor air quality at a hyper-local (neighborhood) level in the City of Santa Monica. Our initial data analysis shows interesting correlations between air quality and the built environment.I am now building my own sensors at a fraction of the original sensor cost ($45 vs $200+) to deploy in Pakistan. Additionally, my paper in the Journal of Env Science 'An analysis of pollution inequity among demographics in Los Angeles county' (Awan et al., 2019 is forthcoming).	Citizens rely on air-quality data from sparsely distributed monitoring stations for planning purposes and for communicating air quality. However, sparse distribution means they may not accurately represent the pollutant gradients at the neighborhood level. Low cost air sensors could become a game changer in monitoring air pollution, traffic management, personal exposure and health assessment.	, I plan to apply meteorological and geographic topology data (from sources like OpenStreetMaps and weatherunderground) and use existing machine learning models leveraging Artificial Neural Networks to quantify effects of hard infrastructure in predicting PM2.5 levels. Currently, based on my independent study so far, air dispersion models lack the consideration of spatial design and focus more on environmental factors to predict air quality. Since urban design factors are under human control, it makes sense to look at them and analyze correlations with bad AQ in order to design future cities that fare better than existing ones in terms of criteria pollutants (SOx,NOx,CO,PM). Existing work by Professor Yao-Yi Chiang at the USC Spatial Sciences Institute as well as Air Pollution Emission Experiments and Policy analysis (APEEP) model at CMU confirms and quantifies correlations between PM2.5 and urban design related features in Los Angeles and Pittsburgh respectively. If we can successfully quantify the relative contributions of each of these urban design related factors towards AQI, we can come up with general guidelines or best practices in urban planning and smart city design. As part of future research, I also plan on exploring the ‘pollution inequity’ problem, demographics consuming less goods and services and being exposed more towards PM2.5.	My primary research question is: “To what extent can smart city design practices improve PM2.5 emission levels in Los Angeles?” To answer this research question, I need to answer two intermediate, but linked secondary questions pertaining to correlations between air quality and the built environment. Therefore, my proposed research will be composed of two separate, but interlinked tasks, culminating in a final proposal around best practices and guidelines to reduce particulate matter-related air pollution. Traditional machine learning approaches like Inverse Distance Weighting (IDW), simple linear regression (LR), vector autoregression (VAR) or Gradient Boosting Machines (GBM) have been tested on the Los Angeles air quality dataset and found to fare worse than this new machine learning centric geo-context based approach. The geo-context based approach will allow me to classify geographic features and rank them in terms of their importance in predicting PM2.5 values. The baseline PM2.5 value will be obtained from the deployed Cazier sensors, which alongside meteorological dataset from (10/01/2018 – 06/01/2019) will form the training dataset while data from the next three months (i.e 07/01/2019 – 09/30/2019) will serve as testing dataset for the project.	The team has set up a live data stream to capture data from deployed sensors and use machine learning techniques to analyze and compare readings from co-located sensors across spatial and temporal dimensions. As of now, we have: •~1,324,800 records per month (primary data) •Total - 5,645,520 records/3.95 GB (10/2018 – 2/2019) •Retrieved historical data from November 2018 and the past month for analysis •Merged data from multiple sources for air quality and weather •Examined correlations between air quality and temperature/humidity •Compared data collected from PA sensors vs. Gov. monitor (AirNow) vs. model estimates (Breezometer) Findings: •Trends in Air Quality in Santa Monica •Air Quality During Woolsey Fire •Comparison to Models	Forecasting spatially correlated time series data is challenging because of the linear and non-linear dependencies in the temporal and spatial dimensions. More recently, however, certain machine learning techniques and models like CMU’s Air Pollution Emission Experiments and Policy analysis (APEEP) have resulted in remarkably accurate Particulate Matter (PM) and Air Quality Index (AQI) forecasts. As a next step in the process, and as part of this proposal, I plan to apply meteorological and geographic topology data (from sources like OpenStreetMaps and weatherunderground) and use existing machine learning models leveraging Artificial Neural Networks to quantify effects of hard infrastructure in predicting PM2.5 levels. Currently, based on my independent study so far, air dispersion models lack the consideration of spatial design and focus more on environmental factors to predict air quality. Existing work by Professor Yao-Yi Chiang at the USC Spatial Sciences Institute confirms and quantifies correlations between PM2.5 and urban design related features in Los Angeles and Pittsburgh. If we can successfully quantify the relative contributions of each of these urban design related factors towards AQI, we can come up with general guidelines or best practices in urban planning and smart city design. As part of future research, I also plan on exploring the ‘pollution inequity’ problem, demographics consuming less goods and services and being exposed more towards PM2.5.	In the short-term, I need access to a high speed computing machine to run various models comparing correlations between PM2.5 pollutants and the built environment and test the accuracy of various approaches. In the medium term, I will need to collaborate with the EPA, City of Santa Monica and the citizen science community on the practical applications and utility of my results. In the long term, I want to secure funding to creat, test and deploy do-it-yourself air quality sensors across Lahore, Pakistan with the support of local government.	https://www.prgs.edu/news/2019/cazier-air-quality-analysis.html	https://www.latimes.com/opinion/readersreact/la-ol-le-trump-environment-clean-air-water-20190711-story.html	The John and Carol Cazier Initiative for Energy and Environmental Sustainability - awarded $30,000 for Phase 1 implementation

Literacy education is key to self and community empowerment and enhances development. Literacy education has social and economic benefits to communities. It is the foundation for community empowerment. Any other form of empowerment without literacy education is not sustainable.	The Country Coordinator was initially a Regional Manager under Southern Water & Sewerage Company for a number of years in all its regional areas and later he moved to Lukanga Water & Sewerage Company as Branch Manager to help set up operational aspects of the then new company. He later joined an International Donor Organization, the Joint Country Programme (JCP) which is a merger of three international sister organizations namely Norwegian Church Aid (NCA), DanChurch Aid (DCA) and Christian Aid (CA) having three headquarters to report to which are Oslo in Norway, Denmark and United Kingdom (UK). Here he implemented various projects directly like Water and Sanitation Project funded by UNHCR in collaboration with Norwegian Church Aid (NCA) and helped various Zambia based NGOs develop and implement projects, and sometimes chaired the Organization Projects Committee whose chair was on rotational basis. He developed programme specific annual plans & budgets, participated in the process of developing the NCA 2016-2020 Strategic Plan, Conducted M & E to programmes specific partners, and participated in the NCA 2011 – 2014 Field Evaluation Process. Under JCP he monitored and gave technical supported to about ten (10) organizations in various projects ranging from education, health, climate change and economic empowerment.	Improvement of Primary School Learners’ Literacy Project - Zambia	Literacy Education for Academic Achievement and Community Development	Goal 4. Ensure inclusive and equitable quality education and promote lifelong learning opportunities for all	Zambia (currently), South Africa (Intended) & Lesotho (Intended)	Yes	Ministry of Education, ChildFund Zambia, LitWorld (USA), and AFID (Accounting for International Development)	Scaling	We have already implemented it and proven its effectiveness. impact, cost effectiveness and how it is liked by stakeholders in the education sector. We have also piloted it with ChildFund Zambia and evaluated its effectiveness and impact together.	The main problem is low literacy levels at primary school level (up to grade 7) in schools in Zambia. PISA Report - Zambia Programmes for International Student Assessment (PISA) Report for Zambia released by OECD in December 2018 reviewed that 95% of grade seven (7) pupils are unable to achieve the minimum level of proficiency in reading. FineReads ANCEFA Gp-education # copied from ZANEC (www.zanec.org.zm)	Solution integrates Social & Emotional Learning (SEL) methodologies and skills into existing education system, and shall focus mainly on personal development of teachers, parents & learners, improving classroom practices to ensure they are socially & emotionally safe for learning, and also improving the school culture to be a socially & emotionally safe learning community and environment to build love for school in learners through an enhanced sense of belonging. To achieve the above this shall be done through sensitization, training and implementation of a Social & Emotional Learning oriented Curriculum in literacy sessions. Through SEL methodology and literacy sessions, children shall be powerful readers, writers, learners and academic achievers. Teachers shall be trained as mentors to create safe, inclusive and praise- centered learning environments for learners whereas parents shall be sensitized to be more involved and supportive to their children learners. The targeted learners shall attend weekly literacy sessions which will take them through step by step interactive lessons (like read-aloud, think-aloud, listening, writing) and community building activities that are highly participatory. OVERALL IMPACT: New generation of learners, story-tellers & academic achievers produced and effecting change both at personal and community level in Zambia and other Southern African countries (South Africa, Namibia & Lesotho) in 3 to 5 years.	Innovation is unique and effective than other interventions because it is comprehensive and integrates social emotional literacy component. Learning is social; learners need to feel safe in their relationships in learning environments, need to be ready or prepared to learn and also they need to be motivated to succeed. Concerning making the learning environment safe, we create a culture where learners do not fear making mistakes during participation in the classroom environment as there is no bullying and mockery from peers or fellow learners and no mockery/ intimidating remarks from teachers for learners that contribute wrong answers. It involves all key stakeholders in the learning environment (teachers, learners and administrators, Parents Teachers Association) and parents/guardians without whose coordinated involvement and support, literacy education becomes a failure. The model includes the following methodologies which makes it even more unique than other existing solutions: Relationship based approach (Teacher and learner), Involvement of Parents and guardians, Read Alouds and Think Alouds strategies, Building learners’ motivation to learn, Making the learning environment socially and emotionally safe for learners (other interventions do not resolve the problem of bullying, mockery and intimidation), Improvement of Social and Emotional Learning skills, Value for learners’ stories and story-telling, and Literacy education for those with hearing disabilities.	We have researched about the causes of low literacy levels in Zambia through rapid baseline/research studies. We then decided to develop the model through a Theory of Change development process which helped us to incorporate and knit together all the missing links in current interventions thereby making this model comprehensive and impactful. We have done Research and Development and through implementation of this model for three years and reaching out to more than 700 learners and 243 teachers as well as piloting it for six months with ChildFund, we have proven its effectiveness. We have full proof of the concept and we are now ready to scale it up. Project assessment shall focus on “Project Results Chain” (Inputs, Outputs, Outcomes, Impact). Information collected from monitoring and the interim evaluation shall enhance timely and appropriate decisions that can improve project implementation, project management and achievement of desired outcomes. The following are the three key performance indicators categories we shall use: Impact Indicators, Outcome Indicators and Output Indicators. A baseline shall be established for each indicator to help us determine the measuring starting point or the foundation of measurement of project progress monitoring. Thereafter, a target as desired level of change for each indicator shall be set. Change shall be measured from the baseline and the target shall help us know how far we are.	OVERALL IMPACT: New generation of learners, story-tellers & academic achievers produced and effecting change both at personal and community level. PROJECT GOAL: Improved Literacy levels for academic achievement and community development. (a) 75% of learners (161, 000) have acquired SEL skills & knowledge - December 2022 (b) 75% of learners (161, 000) have achieved minimum level of proficiency in reading - Sept 2021 (c) 75% of learners have achieved at least 75% school attendance - December 2021 (d) 75% of learners have improved in academic performance (or are within pass rate) - Sept 2022 (e) Reduction in reported/ identified bullying incidences - August 2021 (f) 230 schools have been trained and are implementing SEL model - November 2022 (g) Reach out to South Africa, Lesotho & Namibia by 2020/1 Note: Milestone (a) to (f) are for Zambia and shall be similar milestone for each of these countries we shall reach out to.

37	I am submitting a Solution to be considered for inclusion in UN Solutions Summit	Derrick Hosea	Opio	OneLamp	www.onelamp.ug	CEO	Male	Uganda	Uganda	English	As a social entrepreneur and founder of OneLamp, Derrick Hosea Opio strongly believes innovation can change the world particularly Africa. OneLamp deploys and relies of an existing network of local small scale entrepreneurs locally known as “ddukas” to solve the lastmile distribution challenge at the bottom of the pyramid in Africa. OneLamp recruits and trains village retail shop owners and todate we have established the largest direct sales network of well-trained village retailers/solar agents operating in Uganda. OneLamp’s direct sales network of 465 local entrepreneurs overcomes the barriers of distribution in rural areas of Africa where large shopping malls and tarmacked roads have not yet reached. We teach village retail shop owners how to sell solar lights using our developed sms platform and they then teach customers who visit their shops. Partnering with village retailers offers a faster way of gaining access to the local market knowledge, access to a huge offgrid client base. Also at the local levels, there are no institutional structures to initiate, develop, promote and implement energy access projects. As we grow OneLamp will expand this network to 2500 local retailers across East Africa. Partnering with local entrepreneurs offers a faster way of gaining access to a huge offgrid client base and to control setup costs of product pickup points. OneLamp has also been able to cost efficiently serve Africa’s lastmile using an existing transport network of taxi motorcycle riders locally known as boda – bodas and also expand financial inclusion of rural households through mobile money payment solutions. By using an existing transport network of taxi matatus and taxi motorcycles for delivering solar systems OneLamp also enjoys cost savings and makes notable reductions in GHG emissions caused by rapid motorization in Sub Saharan Africa.	Derrick Hosea Opio is the founder & Chief Executive Officer of OneLamp. He is an Alumni of the Fledge Accelerator, Halcyon incubator, DO School NYC Sustainable Cup Challenge and a 2015 Associate Fellow of the Royal Commonwealth Society. He has a background in LLB and Bsc Accounting & Financial Management. He is also a 2016 Power Africa Offgrid Energy Grant Challenge Winner and recipient of the 2015 African Rethink Awards Grand Prize. Derrick is also a member of the the Inclusive Business Accelerator and Empowering People Network, an initiative of Siemens Stiftung that promotes appropriate technological solutions for the major areas of basic supply in emerging markets. In 2018, OneLamp was honored with the World Summit Young Innovators Award at the WSA Global Congress in Vienna. WSA Young Innovators is a special recognition for young social entrepreneurs under 30 years of age, using ICTs to take action on the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UN SDGs).	OneLamp	OneLamp is Africa's lastmile on-demand delivery service for clean energy.	Goal 7 Ensure access to affordable, reliable, sustainable and modern energy for all	Uganda	Yes	MTN, Airtel, Angaza, Omnivoltaic, Togbo	Transition to Scale	At present the OneLamp USSD mobile platform is developed and active across two of the largest Mobile Network Operators in Uganda (MTN & Airtel) to enable mobile payments and product orders. Our 1st regional distribution service center has been set up in Uganda with a delivery network of 137 matatu drivers and a direct sales network of 465 local retailers across 12 districts. We are currently registering more delivery matatus and signing more village retailers to cover the entire region.	Two in three Africans do not have access to energy and that's keeping people on the continent poor. At OneLamp we believe that access to clean modern energy, especially in Africa, where 620 million people have no electricity, is essential to eradicating extreme poverty, eliminating avoidable child deaths, and achieving universal secondary education, more inclusive growth, gender equity and sustainable land-use.	OneLamp offers a same day last mile clean energy delivery service that enables offgrid households and small enterprises in East Africa order solar systems via mobile sms and enjoy door to door delivery using an existing transportation network of taxi motorcycles and direct sales system of local retailers. To receive a solar system, offgrid households anywhere in Uganda dial *265# on Airtel or MTN network, order number of solar systems they need, make mobile money payment, type their name, location and the then send sms to OneLamp using their mobile handsets. OneLamp receives the order and confirms delivery instantly via sms. We then deliver using an existing network of 50,000 matatus and 350,000 taxi motorcycles. OneLamp’s direct sales network of well-trained village retailers overcomes the barriers of distribution in rural areas of Africa where large shopping malls and tarmacked roads have not yet reached. Providing energy access to off-grid communities through solar home systems is one of the most efficient ways to end energy poverty. OneLamp customers are moving from less efficient lighting sources such as kerosene lamps, to solar home systems that can power high quality LED bulbs and super-efficient appliances that were not a possibility for them before. OneLamp envisions a world where every off-grid African household & business has access to modern clean energy.	Our business model recognizes that extending the electricity grid to remote areas is fraught with problems. It is expensive, transport costs are high, and accessibility is difficult. In sub-Saharan Africa, grid extension costs $23,000 per kilometer. Africa requires more than $300 billion in investment capital to achieve universal electricity access by 2030. On the other hand, the capacity needed to produce a watt of solar power (enough to run a small light), which in 2008 cost $4, has come down to $1. We derive inspiration for our business strategy from Africa being global leader in mobile money transactions; Sub-Saharan Africa is particularly undergoing a mobile digital revolution with mobile subscriptions predicted to rise, to about 930m by late 2019 from 635m in 2014. OneLamp uses the power of mobile SMS to aggregate demand for clean energy at the bottom of the pyramid while reducing; supply chain inefficiencies and the time and money offgrid households currently spend to purchase dangerous kerosene for lighting. We also deploy USSD technology for payments, quality customer service and impact assessment of solar lights at the bottom of the pyramid. SMS & USSD technology is available on every GSM-enabled mobile phone and allows OneLamp to reach directly potential offgrid customers scattered in rural villages and in urban slums cross the country without internet access or grid connection.	OneLamp is committed to bringing electricity to areas where current grid infrastructure is limited or slow on the horizon particularly off-grid rural and semi-urban areas. We measure our impact in four areas; financial performance, productivity and efficiency of our products, health and environmental safety realized from the usage of our solar products by the different customer groups. Our key performance indicators include energy savings from solar products sold, greenhouse gas emissions of product replaced, greenhouse gas reductions due to solar products sold, number of households and businesses provided new access to clean energy. OneLamp has been able to setup a direct sales network of well-trained 465 village retailers/solar agents operating across 12 districts. To-date; OneLamp has provided 105,600 people living in offgrid communities in Uganda access to affordable clean safe lighting by selling 28,358 solar light systems as an alternative to kerosene lanterns. Our products have enabled off-grid households to save $8m that could have been used to buy kerosene fuel for lighting and also eliminate harmful exposure to 17,605 tonnes of CO2 emissions. In addition, the money that’s saved can be redirected towards health needs, education and housing. The usage of solar lights to read and carryout home chores is also expected to result in a reduction of chronic diseases caused by indoor air pollution and risks of injury caused by flammable fuels used in the lamps.	Our mission to expand access to affordable quality clean energy solutions through innovative distribution networks and mobile payment technology for the world’s deprived and underserved communities. OneLamp envisions a world where every off-grid African household & business has access to modern clean energy. Our goal is a 15% market share of the Off-grid market in Uganda by the end of 2025 before expanding to other 4 East African countries. OneLamp hopes to achieve annual sales revenue of $15m within 5 years with operations in 5 East African countries and the largest direct retails sales network of 50,000 solar agents. Our initial operations are in Uganda, East Africa. In East Africa; electricity access is at 12% in Uganda; 14% in Tanzania and 18% in Kenya forcing more than 20m households to rely on dangerous kerosene lanterns for lighting.l. Our target consumer segments include off-grid households, small enterprises living in rural and semi urban off-grid areas currently using kerosene lanterns for atleast 2-6 hours per day. OneLamp solar systems provide clean, reliable energy, which delivers power for lights, home appliances and smartphones. By 2025 OneLamp hopes to impact 3m offgrid households with better quality light, reduction or elimination of fuel-related health issues, fire hazards and toxic fumes, save 823.3m USD annually that could have gone to kerosene expenses, and avert 1.7m tonnes of CO2 emissions.	As a team our aim is to build a profitable self‐sustaining social enterprise that accomplishes its predefined social goals and stakeholder interests. To scale we need investments from impact institutions that can provide advisory support and value-added knowledge that OneLamp needs. Lastly OneLamp needs patient affordable capital. In Uganda, commercial loans often come with interest rates above 25 percent, with collateral requirements up to 150 percent of the value of the loan. These requirements are not feasible for an enterprise looking to rapidly scale up the delivery of clean energy to low income offgrid household and enterprises at the bottom of the pyramid. In the short term we need $250k debt financing and $2m in the medium term for inventory requirements and further development of our mobile platforms. OneLamp is manufacturer neutral and sources high quality affordable products from global suppliers that meet Lighting Africa minimum quality standards & recommended performance targets. In the longterm OneLamp needs $50m investment to expand our delivery network for solar systems across East Africa.	https://www.worldsummitawards.org/winner/onelamp/ https://www.usadf.gov/pressreleases/2016/3/28/off-grid-energy-winners-in-uganda https://lelab.info/land-of-african-business-the-2015-award-recipients/ https://www.empowering-people-network.siemens-stiftung.org/en/solutions/projects/onelamp/ https://www.newvision.co.ug/tag/one-lamp-limited/ https://solarmagazine.com/usadf-new-africa-off-grid-energy-challenge-entrepreneurs/ https://halcyonhouse.org/derrick-hosea https://make-it-initiative.org/africa/cpt_startup/onelamp/ https://make-the-planet-great-again.com/one-lamp https://thedoschool.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/OneLamp.pdf https://solarmagazine.com/usadf-new-africa-off-grid-energy-challenge-entrepreneurs/	https://youtu.be/-G1Lcaht47o	2018 World Summit Young Innovators Award Winner 2016 Power Africa Offgrid Energy Grant Challenge Winner 2015 African Rethink Awards Grand Prize Winner 2014 DO School NYC Sustainable Cup Challenge Winner

This is being developed through a basic needs industrial mode that is UN/SDG compliant. Just like vaccines can be produced with small fixed profit margin for mass vaccination of all children, we can meet the basic needs of all by creating a new kind of industry: the basic needs industry. The major source of inspiration of Michel Loots to develop this Tridealhouse ""basic needs industry"" were the achievements and visions of James Grant, DG of UNICEF 30 years ago to vaccinate and save millions of children. We can do the same to meet the basic or SDG needs of all urban slum dwellers by cooperative industrial production of sustainable houses in which 12 of 17 SDG are integrated. This can be achieved in cooperation with UN/ODA, leading industries, research centers, governments, and foundations/ impact investors. This is a project called ""vaccination against poverty"" Therefore, the UN is always an inspiration to contribute and innovate for positive global impacts. It is therefore an honour to participate to help achieve UN goals and to support the UN solutions summit.	Dr Michel Loots, MA Ec Sc., MD, first obtained a full MA economics degree, then studied medicine and graduated as medical doctor. His goal is developing solutions for solving poverty and related problems in cooperation with UN agencies. 25 years ago, he created the Human Info NGO, which helped 15 UN agencies to digitise and bring in open source about 50.000 UN/ODA publications. This was a ""vaccination against ignorance"" innovation Concurrently he was knowledge and best practices transfer consultant and partner of 15 UN agencies of which UN-Habitat, FAO, WHO, UNESCO the last 25 years. He developed the concept of a basic human needs industry to help solve poverty based on the UNICEF basic human needs concept. To understand slum solutions, he obtained certificates in concrete technology and building. He co-founded several SME. He and founded 3 non-profit organizations of which an ongoing Human Info NGO project. Recently he founded the mixed humanitarian-social and economic-industrial Tridealhouse project to help solve urban slum poverty. The partner in Tridealhouse Dr Fasika Kelemework holds a Doctorate in Business Leadership and Master in Development Evaluation and Management. He worked for the last 24 years in various organizations including the European Union office and International NGOs in Ethiopia. He was also a consultant for the UN and several NGOs in Project Management, Monitoring and Evaluation. He worked 3 years as Director of Performance Management in the Ethiopian Agricultural Transformation Agency and joined Tridealhouse in 2018 as Director Ethiopia/Africa.

The demonstration model was well received at the recent UN-Habitat Assembly of governments from 25 to 31 may with as theme: “Innovation for Better Quality of Life in Cities and Communities”. More than the 350 stakeholders, of which members of slum dwellers international, ministries, UN visited our proof of concept model and were all positive	As of 2017, 890 million people worldwide were living in urban slums. Their basic needs are not met, they cannot acquire any house, nor participate in the economy. They spend 20 to 40% of their income on fuel, and ~20$ per month on rent for slums in deplorable conditions. Poor nutritional quality food purchases take up 50 to 80% of income expenditures. With 3.15 persons per household, many have no access to water, sanitation or jobs. They have no pension and no security when they become older.	Tridealhouse is a modular hybrid steel profile and pre-cast concrete house that can be repaid by the poorest slum inhabitants as it grows food on its sides. It is produced industrially in local factories. It is using as much local resources and materials as possible. It integrates best factory practices with highest care and standards for the workers. At mass industrial production Tridealhouse can be produced for around 11.000$ and repaid in 10 to 15 years through incomes of food production and saved costs. It can be assembled in 2 days onsite. Tridealhouse provides for all five needs defined by UN-Habitat to solve the slum challenges. It provides water, sanitation, durability, living area and ownership. In addition, the Tridealhouse provides a micro-job as it produces food and generates revenues. The sides of the triangular house collect all the rainwater in foundation tanks, and have around 90m2 of hydroponic growing area. Tridealhouse vision is to help fulfill 12 of 17 SDG. It is designed to become a global vaccination against slum poverty. It will particularly be a safe haven for woman, children and disadvantaged, and a pension for the elderly. It is hurricane, earthquake and flood resilient. Steel profiles can be adapted to resist worst storms. It is made to last 50 to 80 years with minimum maintenance. Tridealhouse is to large extend repaid by the poor themselves and thus a source of proudness, and a foundation for a happier life	The last year we conducted a thorough examination of all alternative projects for slum housing. None of these collect water or have an urban farming and local job component. Slum houses also miss many features needed to address the SDG. Typical social houses in developing countries cost 15 to 20.000$. Therefore, Tridealhouse has no global alternative for the moment. TH is designed in line with 12 of 17 SDGs and guided by the key principle of solving poverty and of leaving no one behind Key features are: Rain water catchment, storage, filtering (foundation tanks) Recirculating showers with treadle pump system Tiger worm toilet and/or sanitation tank and/or excrement drying in sunny regions Solar thermal and PV, solar sanitary water heater/ dryer Urban farming on the sides. Chicken and mushrooms in cellar Community empowerment Industrially/ economically; TH is a modular concept. Components are manufactured industrially nationally at big scale to attain a consistent high quality and keep costs down. The mixed humanitarian-social and industrial-economic approach means there is a fixed, transparent profit margin of 4%. In order to succeed, cooperation of 5 types of stakeholders is necessary: Government; UN/ODA, Research institutions, industry and impact investors. Tridealhouse already has cooperation at highest level with the first 4 of these Tridealhouse includes all know-how and best practices of UN/ODA based on unique 25y experience of processing 50.000 UN publications	Tackling slum poverty encompasses many dimensions relating to 12 SDG. It therefore requires integrated innovations in as many dimensions. We progressed very far. 8 basic conditions must be fulfilled in order to have global outreach. Through steady progress and collaboration with R&D and industrial partners and simulations we can fulfill all of them. Following conditions can now be met. 1. Price per house = ~11.000 $ (at industrial mass production), generating 600-1200 $/year in food 2. Modular system. Onsite assembly in two days 3. Durability > 50 to 80 years. Minimum maintenance 4. Conforming to local and international building codes 5. Inclusion of urban farming, social engineering, SDG/ sustainable utilities 6. 75% of raw materials sourced nationally or regionally. Innovation & technology transfer 7. Cooperation with Government, Social stakeholders, ODA, EIB, WB, UN, Universities, R&D, Impact Investors 8. Production of modules in peer-supported factories. Focus on training, productivity, quality In addition, we identified and master all needed technologically elements, ranging from special concretes, including agricultural wastes, recirculating shower, treadle pumps, passive ventilation and more. Progress and metholodogy are measured by intensive cooperation with 3 university centers and 1 research institute. This enhances coordination, implementation and monitoring capacity for the technical and social evaluation of Tridealhouses.	We expect Tridealhouse to impact 12 of 17 SDG positively and thus improve and save lifes in a multidimensional way. The average slum family is 3.15 persons, each TH has impact on 3.15 persons. Planned goals: 2019: 30 TH installed in Ethiopia, 95 projected lives saved or improved 2020: 1000 TH/year factory in Ethiiopia, 3150 projected lives saved /improved 2021: factory expanded to 10.000 TH per year, 31.500 lives saved /improved, cumulative p/y 2022: Model factory of 10.000 TH/year replicated in other 5 countries: Kenia, Mozambique, South Africa, India, Philippines 156.000 lives saved /improve p/y 2023: Factories of 10.000 TH/year replicated in 5 more countries 2024: Global policy/ systems and sustainable financing support attracted, revenues make global operation self-sustainable, industrial optimization of technologies, production and financing makes it possible to scale globally where needed and possible 2025: trickle down economic effects in terms of nutrition, water, improvement, diminished disease burdens in slums, and economic participation of slum inhabitants to the economic growht of their countries Milestones M1 Produce 30 houses locally in Ethiopia in partnership with main technical university M2 Build and operate the first 1000Th/y factory in Ethiopia M3 Expand model factory in Ethiopia to 10.000 Th/y capacity M4 Factory scaling and implementation capacity in 5 other countries M5 Integration of technological, development and industrial value chain	In order to tackle the global slum problem, cooperation of 5 stakeholders are needed : (between brackets what we achieved so far) 1. Government (Gvt of Ethiopia - MOU signed, interest of other countries) 2. UN/ODA (support of UN-Habitat, expressions of interest of FAO and other UN) 3. Universities and research centres (official cooperation with Addis Ababa AASTU university and 3 universities or R&D in Europe) 4. Industry (cooperation with major steel profiles producer in Europe and with concrete factories) 5. social and impact investors (not yet - to be activated) Since we started this project in May 2018, we have obtained support and cooperation on high level of the 4 first stakeholders. Resources needed to scale: Short term Financial- impact investors, to invest in order to attain milestones M1 and M2 Medium term Organizational: hiring and managing expanding teams in each country Financial ; impact investors for Milestones 3 and 4 Policy support for industrial establishment: local and on country level Technology: shared R&D for improving tech capabilities to use local raw materials and resoruces UN/ODA support in their thematic field or geographical scope Long term Financial : creating global revolving fund to finance foreign currency components of TH Policy and industrial support in each new country UN/ODA support as above Industrial value chain integration support, to decrease costs per TH, increase use of local raw materials and increase quality	1) Company website: http://www.tridealhouse.com 2) 1st UN-Habitat Assembly: Urban innovation Center stage: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8BucwjbgyvM 3) Instagram of Mrs Maimunah Mohd Sharif, Executive Director of UN-Habitat (@maimunah.mohdsharif) https://www.instagram.com/p/ByXmIPGnAfv/?igshid=5mpybkrlmf6e ""Tridealhouse is a unique modular pre-cast concrete house that produces food, generates revenue, and can be financed and owned by slum inhabitants.

40	I am submitting a Solution to be considered for inclusion in UN Solutions Summit	Soha	El Baklawy	Businessita Women Empowerment	www.businessita-we.com	founder	female	Egypt	Egypt	Arabic \| English	We create opportunities for women who work or want to launch their business, to develop efficiently; in order to build a community of strong women able to assist and empower one another to achieve all their goals, and make their dreams a reality. Showing them that knowledge is indeed power. Liberating her from any unfavourable environments, enabling her to protect herself, kids and loved ones from any type of abuse hence she has developed her professional career and is able to financially sustain herself and loved ones. Objectives: • Develop the MENA Region culture through the female population. • Promote women’s self-improvement and business development of Middle East society (of all age groups). • Make a difference via flourishing women’s physical, mental and emotional skills.	I am Business Mentor, A Change Maker, A Startup and Strategic consultant. Passionate about Women Empowerment in business. No matter what I believe that ""There is Nothing a Woman Can Not Do!"". By the age of 30 I was the General Manager for our family business in Egypt (El Baklawy Group - chain of pharmacies /stock market accounts and a para-pharmaceutical company). I was managing more than 90 employees, where I helped women reach and develop their career paths whilst working over my progress. Furthermore I was the first to implement work life balance in the pharmaceutical industry in Egypt, in which I broke the internal stereotype in the whole group allowing women to be in senior managerial titles while implemented all women rights in the Egyptian Labour law. By January 2018, I launched Businessita WE. Where I thought of merging both strategic alliance and women empowerment but on a different level not only based on our collaboration ""Businessita WE"" but also on the collaboration of a whole community of women. Supporting and empowering each other in the business field to share experience, solve problems, decrease risks, pool business resources, etc. And of course my target is a global rather than a local community.	Businessita Women Empowerment	More women in business don’t just enhance communities they develop countries	Goal 5. Achieve gender equality and empower all women and girls \| Goal 8. Promote sustained, inclusive and sustainable economic growth, full and productive employment and decent work for all \| Goal 9. Build resilient infrastructure, promote inclusive and sustainable industrialization and foster innovation \| Goal 10. Reduce inequality within and among countries \| Goal 17. Strengthen the means of implementation and revitalize the Global Partnership for Sustainable Development	Egypt and Iraq, planing to expand regional then global	No		Transition to Scale	As we have already active customers & already delivered about 7 mentoring projects and 3 consultations.	Women worldwide face 3 main challenges regardless of their career achievements and/or financial independency. These challenges are societal stereotypes in business, unconscious self bias filled with judgements and devaluating thoughts, and finally, women’s self critic. Through further screening, its was seen that women are only 23.9% in the workforce labour, and only 3.9% in top management and CEO (in the MENA region) according to UN WOMEN.	Our services: A-Community cause(we collaborate to solve women’s challenges in business) 1-Focus group (for market insights/research) 2-Support Club “Business Divas” (like a study group but for work) 3-round table (to discuss business obstacles for the same phase) B- women development 1-career Assessment/career goal setting 2-project assessment 3-training (online and offline) C-resources directory 1-promoting women in diverse fields 2-providing women business needed resources D-business consultancy 1-strategic business planning 2-sales and marketing 3-cost control management 4-Operational management and personnel consultation 5-legal consultation Businessita WE believes in the power of women to change lives and communities. Breaking current business stereotypes and taboos, paving the path to an empowered generation.	we provide a non bias chance for any women to launch her business (without the need to win a competition to get mentored), in addition to the mindset and professional trainings, career guidance through our career assessments sessions. We also provide top notch business consultations with attractive prices (a maximum of 10 K for 3 month) plus we don't deliver the projects turnkey we educate the women themselves. Furthermore we created a resources’ directory of women to women, because, as women, we have great calibers in different fields/industries. Not only to fulfill any business inquiry or need, but to guide and help all the other women to launch their businesses as well. and finally in attempt to creating a backbone support, not based on one organization ""Businessita WE"" but a whole community to ensure its continuity. To never have a business or system that is dependent on one person only, and in case they are no longer there, women might feel that they have no help or support. Where, as a community, we create, on a regular basis: ▸ Focus Groups: To gain consumer feedback on product. ▸ Roundtable Meetings: To discuss current obstacles and how to overcome for business’s of the same phase regardless the industry. ▸ Business Diva's club: To encourage and motivate one another, like a study group. Currently we are collaborating with service providers to provide a one stop shop for our clients.	Out of 10 paid mentorships 7 projects have showed revenue generation/growth, created partnerships/ local deals. One project launch with 1500 EGP as starting capital which generated 20k EGP in the first 3 months. 2 career assessments, resulted in women career shifting to follow their passion. 3 consultation projects delivered with a success rate of 93%, currently delivering 2 more. according to our financials: 1st quarter of 2018, we had only 1 consumer, generating an average of 50$ monthly, 150$ per quarter. 2nd quarter of 2018 we had 5 consumers, with revenue of 250$ per quarter. 3rd quarter of 2018 we had a total of 7 consumers yet 2 mentorships were uncompleted (1 due to lack of professionalism & the other was mother's terminal disease) but we gained 1 consultations project for 300$ plus the 250$ per Quarter. 4th quarter of 2018 we had 8 consumers for mentorship growing our revenue to 450$ quarterly plus 550$ for 2 more consultation projects. Showing an annual growth of 150 %% growth. Finally Our success not only measured through the delivery of the projects or business inquiry but rather the succession of the client both professional and personal life.	with our Market size: we plan to emphasize our online and offline presence with regard to our market segments 1st phase for Businessita WE is Egypt, 2nd Phase: MENA Region(currently penetrating market), 3rd Phase: Asia/Africa and 4th Phase: Globally. With our services: We plan to affiliate with an international accredited program that merges between both business development and mindset-cultural development to provide to our community. in addition too increasing the number of partners to serve a complete blockchain for women in business. furthermore we intend to create an empowerment program that integrates business education, self awareness & development Hence we are a service organization based on human capital therefore we have to be quiet careful choosing our upscaling strategies and partners. We will outsource 3 categories of our services which include business consultations and the resources directory as they will be more aware of the country’s economic status, local market needs and finally the country’s local culture. On the other hand the collaborations & alliances will be in the mentorship which includes women self development, career development, project assessment & launch. By which these services are highly dependent on the connection between the mentor and the mentee, the relevant expertise of the mentor and the need from the consumer (as a client or a mentee) regardless of the country’s economic status and culture.	short and medium terms would be finance and professional guidance are: to (achieve short and medium goals) 1-Increase exposure via offline and online presence (empower more women) 2-development our current services (providing online payment plans, quotas and services) 3- Adding more services to our business model (for consumer highest satisfaction) 4-Expanding our partnership platform (for a 1 stop shop consumer experience) 5- launch a women empowerment program providing 3 month intense training and workshops across the MENA region where our long term needs would include collaborating with a global NGO to create and develop programs for business and mindset/cultural development for unprivileged women worldwide not only for better communities, paving the path fo coming generations but for a world with more inclusive and sustainable solutions.	https://www.businessita-we.com https://www.facebook.com/businessita.we/ https://www.linkedin.com/company/businessita/	https://youtu.be/v3cqhBNGxoc https://youtu.be/S6woxiAh7kk https://youtu.be/9yN4Is7RSN0	In less than a year after the company’s inception, Businessita WE won two awards of appreciation it's active role in society empowering women in business

GAIN ENERGY INDEPENDENCE Nimray brings clean energy to communities of all sizes. We do so by supplying both the innovative Solar technology and an accessible energy network that allows home energy generators to trade clean electricity profitably with others. All based on a newly developed blockchain technology that is going to revolutionize the industry.	Problem The solar energy market is dominated by large utility companies that buy solar energy at a low price and sell it through the electricity grid at a much higher price, securing huge profits at the expense of the end consumers and small-scale solar producers. u300 days of sun and still 24X7 electricity is a dream for many. Earth has been receiving trillions of units of energy every day from morning to evening but we've never been able to use it. } Solution By creating a freely accessible network for Solar energy trading, Nimray is challenging the dominance of the large energy companies. With Nimray, consumers can produce their own electricity and sell any excess at competitive prices to their neighbors via Nimray Network. This opens a whole new world for trading solar energy over a network. Creating microgrids all over India and connect them over a network built on the solid blockchain.	Target Beneficiaries We are making a new use case of Blockchain in Solar energy, main beneficiaries are people who live in high rise apartment and don't have land or roof to install solar panels, we provide them with the option to buy solar energy without the need of installing solar panels at their premises. Another use case is in villages in where an agriculture land can be converted to a microgrid and on same land farmer can produce crops and clean energy as an extra source of income. Mission and Vision Our mission is to make India independent from power cuts, by creating Solar Microgrids all over India. Over 400 million people in India, including 47.5% of those living in India’s rural areas, still had no access to electricity. Because of the remoteness of much of India’s un-electrified population, renewable energy can offer an economically viable means of providing connections to these groups.	Innovation Description -Power is generated and distributed locally, A homeowner either can be a producer or a consumer of Solar energy. -This allows us to sell solar energy within a local community without the need for heavy infrastructure and a central authority. Smart Microgrids can be installed in any remote location. We connect all smart microgrids using blockchain. -Now a user can buy or sell solar energy either back to the grid by net metering or to a neighbor on Nimray network Competitive Advantage We are taking the first movers advantage in this domain, this is a fairly new use case of Blockchain in solar energy space.	Planned Goals and Milestones We are finding more and more innovative use of Nimray network for helping people in poverty, lit up schools with clean energy, finding more use cases where we can deploy Nimray all over the world. Especially in developing countries.	SHORT TERM: Funding support, grants and institutional. Medium-term: corporate reconnect, government inclusion Long Term: User adoption with government support, VC funds to scale up.	https://www.nimray.com/ https://parispeaceforum.org/porteurs_projet/decentralized-electricity-network-based-on-solar-energy-over-blockchain/ https://www.globalinnovationexchange.org/innovation/decentralized-electricity-network-based-on-solar-energy-using-blockchain	https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_C7wpa0QC78	GLOBAL ENERGY AWARDS https://www.lemonde.fr/smart-cities/article/2018/07/10/en-inde-des-panneaux-solaires-pour-tous_5329201_4811534.html CEATEC Japan by JETRO & METI JAPAN PARIS PEACE FORUM: https://parispeaceforum.org/porteurs_projet/decentralized-electricity-network-based-on-solar-energy-over-blockchain/ Young Leader India France 2019. https://in.ambafrance.org/Ambassador-hosts-2019-batch-of-Club-Young-Leaders-India-France

By utilizing 3D manufacturing to create 3D printed schools- which is just the beginning!- that implement sustainable solutions such as solar energy and cloud technology in the learning curriculum, the number of schools built could be effectively increased. This 3D manufacturing process has the ability to stem into water filtration systems as well as hospitals. The opportunities are endless. With this technology, we can catalyze change in education, healthcare, and sustainable energy.	17 years ago I was adopted from China. My life could look drastically different if it weren't for my parents and the education they provided me. I do not take my life for granted because there is another human out there working in a factory- with no opportunity to attain an education- who very well could have been me. 5 years ago, a sophomore in high school, I embarked on a mission to research and find a way to utilize the tremendous future of 3D printing with humanitarian goals. While I am young, I have been championing my idea every day these past years and will continue to persevere until one day when every developing community has access to a safe, quality education. I believe that 3D printed schools have the power to eradicate poverty, boost economies, and create brighter futures. Recently this year, a similar concept unveiled itself: 3D printed houses. The potential of 3D printing is in its beginning stages and I am excited to see my idea come into fruition after years of people telling me that my idea was crazy. Nevertheless, I kept reminding myself of Steve Jobs' quote, ""Those who are crazy enough to think they can change the world usually do.""	Thinking Huts	Building Minds	Goal 4. Ensure inclusive and equitable quality education and promote lifelong learning opportunities for all	Intended to be global	No		Research & Development	Thinking Huts needs to find potential partner communities and we are in the prototype development stage of building our 3D printed schools.	According to UNESCO, over 260 million children do not have access to education and 615 million children cannot read a single sentence. These staggering numbers give resonance to the problem at hand: how do we make education accessible and empower communities with the fundamental tools to build a brighter future? Thinking Huts seeks to be the solution that combines the future of promising technology with lasting social impact.	Thinking Huts is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit that seeks to provide immediate support for jump-starting education in developing countries via 3D printed schools. We envision a future where quality education is accessible to all: “Building Minds” one hut at a time. There is an eye-opening number of areas in the world where education is financially and geographically inaccessible. Our core belief is that the education of the human mind is Earth's greatest asset and the universal solvent that has the power to break the cycle of poverty. Thinking Huts aims to provide assistance where this resource goes untapped. While the desire is there, the immediate access may be difficult to obtain.	Architectural scale 3D printers today are used to build houses. Thinking Huts would use this technology for tackling SDG 4 by making education accessible through schools.	We are seeking out funding and building a team of volunteers who will be able to add further expertise in the areas of research, development, 3D printing on an architectural scale, and community involvement.	As we get closer to fully realizing our vision, we plan to create a teacher support program, increase staff to aid in the process of teaching the community how to use the 3D printers, and impact more countries.	Short-term: the building of a physical prototype. Medium-term: research, development Long-term: resources to scale, a team, raising awareness of our mission, partnerships with global 3D printing companies.	http://www.thinkinghuts.com/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I8tasKbXpAE	N/A	CU Boulder New Venture Challenge Women's Entrepreneurship Prize Finalist
47	I am submitting a Solution to be considered for inclusion in UN Solutions Summit	Ahmad	Mustapha	Hult Prize Foundation	www.hultprize.org	Campus Coordinator	Male	Nigeria	Nigeria	English	I'm a youth living in Nigeria and I have experienced what it means for large number of youth to be unemployed and its consequences for socio-economic well-being. Empirical evidences have linked unemployment to rising wave of depression and suicide in the country. Internet fraud which is youth driven popularly known as 419 is fiercely battled by the anti graft agencies however, the root cause is not addressed therefore as more youths are drawn into the scene due to its lucrative nature. Using design thinking methodology I have been able to design a bespoke solution that will enable the youths to deploy that vibrant energy to learn the skill sets required for employment in the era of the 4th industrial revolution where machines (computers) are set to take over the traditional jobs, taking into consideration the World Economic Forum's Report that projects 65% of kids in primary school to be employed in sectors that are yet to exist. My solution will utilize a peer to peer online learning platform to teach on-demad skill sets and competencies, this is aimed at raising the next generation of skilled workers that will remain relevant despite the threat that machines are set to take over jobs.	I'm a social entrepreneur and I have led a social enterprise movement at sub-Saharan Africa's largest university, with a student population of over 40,000; Ahmadu Bello University as the pioneer Campus Director for Hult Prize Foundation. The Hult Prize challenges university students to develop bespoke solutions to developmental challenges affecting bottom of the pyramid population. As the Campus Director, I have inspired and mentored students to develop start-ups that are poised to change the status of vulnerable communities in Nigeria. I have a Bachelors degree in Quantity Surveying from Ahmadu Bello University, I'm also a scholarship recipient of the Nigeria Higher Education Foundation (NHEF).	Maestro	Mastering the skill sets for the future of work	Goal 4. Ensure inclusive and equitable quality education and promote lifelong learning opportunities for all \| Goal 8. Promote sustained, inclusive and sustainable economic growth, full and productive employment and decent work for all	Nigeria	Yes	Global Impact Sourcing Coalition (GISC) and Pluralshight	Ideation	We have used the methodologies of design thinking to develop the solution, however, we in the process of implementation.	Nigeria is the most populous country in Africa and according to the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) 20.9 million Nigerians are unemployed. Accordig to Stuern, tertiary education advisory firm, they report that 500,000 Nigerian graduates enter the labour market yearly, but 40% have no job prospect. Stutern also reports that only 48.68% of job seekers possess the skillsets required for employment.	The world is experiencing growing skills instability as a result of rapid technological disruption, the World Economic Forum (WEF) gives a succinct projection; 65% of kids in primary school will be employed in sectors that are yet to exist. These trends shaped our approach to teach on-demad skill sets and competencies for the future of work, the competencies will be in terms of emotional intelligence and soft skills e.g critical thinking, problem solving, relationship management, these are must-have skills in all job sectors to thrive and prosper, also we'll focus on ICT competencies, taking into consideration that global data analysts demand will be 46 million amassing $25.5 billion in revenue by 2022 (WEF). Our curriculum vendors is Pluralshight, they develop learning paths and assessment authored by leading industry experts, Pluralsight is trusted by 70% of fortune 500 companies. Our solution will utilize online collaborative learning community using real life case studies to curate effective learning experience. The Global Impact Coalition (GISC), the world's only impact sourcing supplier directory has agreed to support our learners get jobs through the impact sourcing platform, this is an all rounder solution that enables employment opportunities and this creates increase the standards of living due to increased spend on family and household requirements, the community also benefits from the multiplier effect of injecting new capital into the local economy.	The educational technology market is nascent in sub-Saharan Africa, the world is moving at very fast pace making advances in ultra modern technology, these technologies are ushering in the dawn of the 4th industrial revolution, this new era is set to witness the advent of machines taking over jobs dominated by humans. Therefore to keep at par with these transformations, we are set to develop the human capital for the future of work.	We have utilised design thinking and lean start-up methodology to develop our implementation roadmap, we have pitched to Venture capitalists to raise capital, however, we are waiting for their feedback. We are in the process of bootstrapping to enable us implement our solution. We've also enlisted technical adviors to guide us on our operation, we've benefited immensely from their advisory support.	We have set out our implementation roadmap, we plan to start operation by November, 2019. Our target user base is to reach 500 youths by the first year, we plan to sign strategic partnership with tertiary institutions, this will enable us tap from their economics of scale advantage to enable us get to other frontiers. According to our projected EBITDA we will be cash flow positive by our second year of operation and by the 5th year of our operation we'll target to teach 10,000 people. We can achieve this number because of our online distributed delivery channel.	For our operations, we require a capital of $150,000. This will be for our learning hub set up and IT installations, We plan to teach 500 youths by the first year, our revenue source will be from the subscription by the students which will be considerate of their low income status. According to our projected EBITDA we'll have a positive cash flow by our second year of operation this will enable us scale and get out operation to new frontiers. For our medium term of 5 years we plan to teach 10,000 youths for this we'll need additional capital of $200,000 for expansion and our long term needs we plan on raising our series A capital of $1,000,000. We plan to get our series A through impact funds, this is because it is strategically aligned to our objectives.	http://aypafrica.com/spotlight-hult-prize-comes-ahmadu-bello-university-zaria/	https://twitter.com/hultprize/status/974694206462676992?s=19	Global Top 20 Hult Prize Campus Director Nigeria Higher Education Foundation (NHEF) Scholar National 3rd Prize Unilever Africa Idea Trophy

As the event aims to create platforms for innovators to showcase their various solution to accelerate Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), I am writing to express my sincere desire not only to attend but participate in the conference at the event. The agenda of the conference will help promote my climate solution idea called SPACECLIME and REPCLIME. As an SDG advocate on CLIMATE ACTION, I believe these two ideas will be an addition to other discoveries addressing climate change. Furthermore, by attending I will be able to Collaborate with other esteemed professionals during the conference which would greatly contribute to its success. Other reasons motivating me to attend the summit is to join other stakeholders to amplify the voice on the global climate crisis, especially as I intend to make a presentation. This conference will help me better prepare for a bigger conference in Washington DC the summit will give me the boost I need to get re-energized and motivated. Although attending is an investment on my part, I believe I will find it to be a worthwhile opportunity with significant benefits both in the short term and into the future. I have used innovation for positive impact by creating a climate idea that is being worked ontohelpbuild resilience and we even expanded the idea to have a Satellite-based technology which is an effective tool for analyzing and visualizing data on species with inaccessible environments, in order to identify areas where conservation practices are needed and better plan for disaster risk reduction before and after ecological incidences that causes transhuman migration, human-wildlife conflict, and predator-prey interactions.	Daniel Chidubem Gbujie hails from Ahiazu-Mbaise, Imo State in the Southeastern part of Nigeria. He is an SDGs advocate especially climate Action SDG 13. He promotes climate change awareness, builds public commitment and triggers climate action at all levels to facilitate conservation, sustainable development and better effective use of the Earth's resources for the good of global citizens. Dr. Gbujie as he is popularly called often helps in organizing climate rallies and petitions that are in favour of better environmental regulation He has coordinated the planting of over 78,411 trees and is looking at planting over 1 million trees in partnership with a Swedish based organization WomensVirtualChoir.org. Gbujie will be awarded on the 26th of April 2019 with the “Global Youth Leadership Award 2019 in Environment Category” in Kathmandu, Nepal by the body Global Youth Parliament he was recently awarded the Triple-A award by the Africa Trade center ON THE 15TH July 2019 as the best inventor in Africa Gbujie is an international multi-award winner in the medical and environmental field. 1.(https://qwenu.com/2018/05/11/nigerian-medical-doctor-blazing-the-trail-for-climate-change-and-health/) 2.(https://m.thenigerianvoice.com/lifestyle/231682/nigerian-doctor-nominated-by-world-medical-association-for-u.html). 3.https://parrotreporters.com/2019/05/21/an-african-techno-innovative-climate-app-idea-repclime-top-the-climate	SPACECLIME	USING DIGITAL INNOVATION TO TAKE CLIMATE ACTION	Goal 13. Take urgent action to combat climate change and its impacts	it is intended to be used in AFRICA and PACIFIC ISLAND NATIONS they are countries disproportionately affected by climate change	Yes	team54project international	Ideation	We think our solution is at the stage of innovation because we are in the features that characterize Ideation which includes the creative process of generating, developing, and communicating new ideas which we have all done, we have gone as far as pitching the idea in a challenge competition in Vienna and we won the UN office of outer spacer Affair the climate action category and are among the top 3 final overall winners.	Our project is called SpaceClime, aims to address a global environmental challenge using the knowledge of advanced technology. Therefore, technology seems to be an alternative path to addressing the adaptation approach to the crisis. Space-based technologies fit that description. It is leeway to addressing the critical interconnected areas affected by climate change such as agriculture, disaster recovery, energy, health, economy, and future solutions will require advanced technological approach.	With the advanced technology that space-based technological system brings, it is possible to integrate the operating systems from the orbiting satellites to the land-based digital communication operating system on the land (Earth), which can assist in the creation of an Early Advance Climate Warning System and processed data can be sent into other existing platforms (telephones, mobile phones, mobile applications, internet platforms, etc.). SpaceClime can have an essential role in monitoring and providing an early-warning system for the vulnerable communities that are vulnerable and at risk. Lack of early-warning system and alerts, that can be transmitted and transferred on-land could lead to increased damage of properties and casualties in the areas affected by the unusual weather patterns. Helping to strengthen our adaptation approach and climate disaster reduction risk protocol. Space-derived geospatial data will be useful during the emergency response, such as flooding and bush fires. In the case of large urban areas, Space-derived geospatial data will be great for urban planning, development and management of infrastructure. The recent environmental disaster from Cyclone Idai is a good example of how the governments of Zimbabwe and Mozambique could have used the space-based technologies to avoid senseless deaths experienced.	The SpaceClime project is unique from other approaches by highlighting the role that advanced technology can play in strengthening the adaptation capacity and building resilience. it will guide policymakers, business leaders to see the bigger picture of an ecological disaster in real-time. With the integration of land-based digital technology accurate information can get to them from stakeholders to actual citizens. Our path to successfully taking Climate action requires adequate adaptation methods to help address many of the negative outcomes of climate change which includes: flooding, famine, extreme temperature above body temperatures, droughts, extreme weather patterns (hurricanes, tornadoes, bush fires, cyclones) and insecurity. They all have disastrous and often fatal ends for humans and other living things. Hence, the need to get realtime environmental pieces of information to the stakeholders in other to better respond to the disaster. Stable projections of environmental parameters are needed by potential investors to make crucial financial decisions that can impact on sustainable development goals. Subsequently, the government will require the services of SpaceClime idea to better plan the risk reduction strategy during any climate crisis. The absence of an innovative system like SpaceClimeas an app to help project and analyze climate risk will greatly affect the global Agenda for sustainable development by 2030 and beyond.	Our team through our creative climate idea plans to integrate space-based technological application, SpaceClime, which uses geospatial information from satellite and transfer it into land-based digital communication system for effective communication during and after ecological events and disaster. Furthermore, this initiative can be upgraded as a user-friendly accessory in a satellite driven application system. Advanced technology will be the go-to tool used by future generations to effectively address the climate crisis and to build the foundation for sustainable development. So because of the nature of this type of technology, its application is guarded by powerful nations, we pitched the idea with a UN-based agency the UN office of outer space affairs during a GLOBAL challenge competition and we won the competition. We are in the stage of development following the win, and our idea SpaceClime winning the UN agency overall competition, is a great measure of progress plus they have invited us to Washington DC to be part of the 27th Workshop on Space Technology for Socio-Economic Benefits. We will be meeting investors at the event, for likely partnership and collaboration which will be key to achieving sustainable development and building climate resilience.	our planned Goals and Milestones for your solution, are to begin reaching out to investors we are looking at creating the displayed in the 3D animated image of the operating concept, through photos, videos and presentation, how SpaceClime will help us to address the climate crisis and create climate solutions. Our goal is to showcase our project, SpaceClime, to be the go-to application. we will be recruiting over 20 staff and over 193 volunteers and we now projecting that if our application becomes fully functional over 25 million people within Africa and pacific island nation may benefit. We are looking at displaying this project at the 2020 Dubai expo	we need funding to develop this advanced based application and make it available to ordinary people who are farmers, government officials, involved in disaster risk management and our planned Goals and Milestones for your solution, are to begin reaching out to investors we are looking at creating the displayed in the 3D animated image of the operating concept, through photos, videos and presentation, how SpaceClime will help us to address the climate crisis and create climate solutions. we need also more data sources on the environment. Our project identifies the need to strengthen the early warning and early projection among communities in nations that are disproportionately affected by climate change. though our interest is in SDG 13, addressing the climate challenges systematically will be our long term goal in other to reinforce other SDGs. Our project is able to identify the sectors that climate crisis affects critically namely agriculture - regional food crises, leading to continuing food insecurity, water scarcity, and health emergencies. The ability to predict and project likely outcomes of environmental challenges like spiking temperature rise and flooding can help farmers better adapt to the changing times which in turn leads to a positive agricultural outcome (SDG 1, 2, 3, 6). SpacecClime will be integrated with other land-based technology and it can help the various government to better plan sustainable cities and communities (SDG 11)	Website: www.team54project.org Social Media: Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/team54project/ youtube- https://youtu.be/ZLr-YwXYWy8 https://spacegeneration.org/space-for-youth-winners http://www.unis.unvienna.org/unis/en/pressrels/2019/unisos517.html?fbclid=IwAR2iOmTTh8_g9Iqt2r-IaQDA7YqNhT4-bK_ZS-n3aN3qLhonzgKpfWzAhhE	The first part of the presentation at Western Washington University Washington State 1.https://www.facebook.com/624348878/posts/10157222659673879?s=624348878&v=i&sfns=mo 2.

Yes	Young persons with different skills, talents, resources and services ready to sacrifice these for a better society.	Sustainable Scale	This is so because we have been impacting lives for the past 5yrs and still counting. So far we have been able to sustain our vision and we keep looking for strategies to scale up and sustain the project for the betterment of our communities.	From empirical evidence revealing that 1.3 trillion of food is wasted in the world and 50% of food produce in Africa is wasted, to carrying out a quantitative study sampling 1000 Cameroonians and 100% of our sample population revealing to us that they are either wasting or keeping something redundant that could help someone somewhere because they don't have the time to walk around looking for who needs what they are wasting for keeping redundant.	To STOP the WASTAGE and REDUNDANT keeping of useful and valuable Resources/Services in the community through Sharing in LOVE. 1. Loving Hearts Konnect (http://www.lovingheartz.org/konnect), konnects to; elimate WASTAGE of valuable resources and services, elimate REDUNDANT keeping of valuable resources and services and eliminate the too many intermediaries between Needy and Giving Hearts while konnecting Loving Hearts (Needy, Caring and Giving Hearts). 2. Through Loving Hearts members, volunteers, Ambassadors and well-wishers with different skills, talents, resources and services, we identify vulnerable Communities and Konnect with them to offer the above making sure money is not a barrier to impacting the community since we are all gifted with skills and talents.	1. The platform and project is the first Integrated online digital platform in Africa to STOP the WASTAGE and REDUNDANT keeping of useful and valuable Resources/Services 2. It helps people solve the issue of time and or energy of moving around to look for who needs what is being wasted or kept redundant. 3. It makes aid to be efficiently implemented by reducing the too many intermediaries that prey on the vulnerable 4. It permits the caring/Giving Hearts feel the impact of engaging into community Development initiatives 5. It aolve the issue of money being a barrier to impacting the community as money is needed to purchase skills, talents, services and resources which are all things we have and want to give our to the vulnerable at a zero cost. 6. The platform is also integrated in nature because it permits for tangibles (resources) and intangibles (services) being wasted or kept redundant to be put at the disposal to those who really need them while also providing the opportunity for vulnerable persons to make their request.	From a handful of about 20 members, volunteers and ambassadors in the room in Yaounde to about 150 members, volunteers and Ambassadors in all 6 continents of planet earth the idea birth in a one room house has not only been shared and implemented but the vision has been loved and taken all over the world. The basic digital platforms and social media sites to support the project have all been created and manned by members, volunteers and Ambassadors of Loving Hearts. To measure our success we use the following parameters 1. Number of people eho #Konnect through our platform on daily bases. 2. Number of people who visit our website on daily basis 3. Number of people who visit our social media sites on daily basis 4. Number of likes, shares, reactions, views on our social media sites 5. Number of new members, volunteers and Ambassadors who call everyday to be part of the project 6. Number of different persons in different countries aligning and creating branches of the project and platform in their country. 7. Number of Testimonials we recieve from Loving Needy Hearts 8. Appreciation letters from vulnerable and less privileged Communities. 9 Daily suggestion of members on how to better end enhance the vision and mission of the project. 10. Number of members selected for international recognition programs.	Apart from putting on the platform and getting the project going as our first milestone, we got calls from other countries about their love for the initiative and this has let to the creation of the project Branches and having of new members, volunteers and Ambassadors in different countries. We planned to make Hearts Foundation and project initiative a house hold name in Africaamd the world at large. We plan to start advocating and sensiitizing for the United Nations to include #SDG18 that is #LOVE on the 17 SDGs which is the foundation for all other SDGs to be attained efficiently. We also intend to create physical offices in different Communities we find ourselves to facilitate the vetting and #Konnecting of Loving Hearts.	We believe that if we had physical offices in Communities we are actively involve in our solution can be scale up. Also little financial support for volunteers like transportation and communication credit will go along way to motivate them for maximum efficiency as well as encourage others with skills and talents to come I'm and join the wagon so we can make the society a better place for all.

Enterprise - continue to break the mold and engineer attractive new designs with 90% recycled materials.	400 million tons of plastic products are produced every year (half of which is for single use only). 8 million tons of plastic ends up in oceans annually, polluting water & damaging marine life. 1 million bottles are purchased every minute. Of the 5.8 billion tonnes of primary plastic no longer in use, only 9 percent has been recycled since 1950. This problem affects every person on the planet.

Impact for our project is based solely on resources and scale of project development. The model we have developed is fully replicable so that it can begin at the local level, be rolled out with appropriate support nationwide in Nigeria, throughout West Africa regionally, continent-wide, and globally in any developing country where plastics pollution is a problem, educational and economic opportunities are lacking, and one-stop-shop recycling centers can be created. Regarding commercial development for our project, our profit margin in 2015 was 50%, sales increased by 200% in year two, 100% by year three, and another 50% last year. The appetite for our bespoke and innovative products is widespread and increasing. We have sold more than 650 different items to more than 2,000 customers including both businesse	We address the challenge of plastic pollution by creating well-designed furniture, accessories, and construction products from 90% up-cycled plastic collected from the local environment. We use reconstituted plastic lumber (compression moulded plastic waste) as a replacement for wood in our furniture, decking and construction materials. In this way we contribute to a reduction in plastic pollution and to forest tion. Our first product was a simple pouffe made from re-used PET drinks bottles. Since then our range has expanded to include couches, desks, beanbags, beds, wardrobes and decking. These can now be found in hundreds of Nigeria high-end lodges, hotels, schools and businesses. To date, Wallisdecor Designs has collected over 400 metric tonnes of plastic to use in our lifestyle products, representing a significant, positive environmental impact. As our techniques have been perfected, we have focused on increasing the percentage volume of recycled plastics in our products. A key element of this process has been our increased use of plastic lumber (“Greenwood”) to form the structural strength of our furniture. Cushioning for our furniture range is made with cleaned and shredded soft plastics (plastic bags and packaging plus leftover foam from local workshops.) Our designer bags and jewellery are made with leftover pressed plastics and adorned with leather produced by Masaai women. Our school-desks are 100% processed plastic lumber as are our smaller home accessories,	Having tested the proof of concept, we are currently at positioning for scale stage in order to test the business and delivery model of our product and build upon the parameters of what we have already executed. We are seeking investment of $250,000 to expand our workforce to include technical experts such as engineers, sales and marketing team and the R&D experts to research recycling/consumer habits all over the world. We are seeking investment of $250,000 for machinery plus appropriate tools to help us streamline production. We are seeking investment of $100,000 to build our first official flagship/innovation/showroom and retail space.	Globally, home furnishing markets thrive on availability of beautiful, affordable furniture and related products. Increasingly, there has been a profound mind-set shift around the problems of plastic and consumers are looking for environmentally-friendly, sustainable solutions without compromising on style, quality, cost or design. Consumption patterns have not decreased - people still want their ‘nice’ home commodities and lifestyle – but not at the expense of their pocket or compromises in design. The ideal is to make eco-friendly, recycled products at a competitive cost and with an alluring design and lasting quality. With the human population increasing precipitously, the demand for wood lumber from depleted forests will be increasingly unsustainable – as new wood furniture manufacturing increases, the planet suffers. Wallisdecor Designs offers consumers the opportunity to recycle & purchase beautiful items in the knowledge that their profits will help clean their environment, educate students in low income countries and provide much needed employment.	This expansion will enable Wallisdecor Designs to realize substantial sales growth over the next five years so that it can achieve specific financial objectives: Increase potential client base from thousands to millions by increasing exposure from local to national markets. Increase sales revenue, margins and profitability. Purchase extrusion mold machinery necessary to produce plastic lumber at a much faster production rate to increase output capacity of our furniture.

The idea at this point of time is still at its start-up stage due to lack of financial resources and human resources. My idea is on starting an agriculture educational centre for sustainable and profitable for Botswana and other countries. So far we have had any opportunity to get trainings from various hubs and universities on skills and knowledge on social entrepreneurship. Our core goal is to develop a new mindset on farmers to improve their farming methods for the better of the food production and also to keep earth preserved for the future of man-kind. Traditionally our local farmers have being really on old ways and traditional methods of farming hence leading to low yields of food production, poverty and hunger. With our new innovation of agriculture educational centre for future sustainable and profitable farmers will be able to replicate our model across the world and create decent agriculture rural job opportunities. The future of the world depends on the new leadership of sustainable profitable smart agriculture practices.	Gregory Thato Rakobe is a 29 year old Motswana who has an award in Bachelor of Science Degree in Animal Science from Botswana University of Agriculture and Natural Resource and recently completed his Master of Science Degree in Animal Management Systems. He has been award certifications on Entrepreneurship Development from Local Enterprise Authority, Supervisory Skills and Management Development from Institute of Development Management, Climate change Social Entrepreneur from Climate Exploration Hub, Property Marketing from BA ISAGO University and Executive Education for Go-to-Market from Stanford School University School of Graduate Business. Gregory has worked for Botswana University of Agriculture and Natural Resources for 2years on National Internship Program as a Research assistant and instructor, after which he volunteered to work for one year at Botswana University of Agriculture and Natural Resources as a Hostel Warden. During his spare time Gregory visit farmers as a consultant and currently he is building his New Company called Plenteous. Gregory has been invited by Federal Ministry of Food and Agriculture of to attend 29th International Leadership Workshop for Rural Youth 7th-20th August 2019 in Herrsching, Germany where he will participate on his new business venture which seeks to open a Farm Business Academy for Senior Citizens and Youth to learn Sustainable and Profitable practical knowledge and Skills.

Strengthen the means of implementation and revitalize the Global Partnership for Sustainable Development	Botswana	No		Ideation	Well it is due to lack of funds to support the development of the idea to another level of where it will be able to become self-generating income.	We want our people in rural areas to become educated with climate smart agriculture practices to boost healthy lives and access to food. Most of our old aged people are found to be at rural areas who are mostly affected by hunger, through our programs, we want to empower our youth to return to rural areas to partner with old age to work together on climate smart agriculture practices. This will create job opportunities for unemployed youth found in urban areas.	We want to use reach our clients through face to face mass market at each district, will be also targeting military, mining organizations which have retiring or retrenched employees to be part of the re-structuring that is to say offer our training to people to have a better life after retrenchment or retiring to climate smart agriculture business ventures. We are also into talks with mining organizations to collaborate on having our programs for their staff to plan ahead for future crunch times of loss of jobs through retrenchment which can be heart stressing. We have completed our Website which will soon be running for our clients to have easy access to view our products and services. We are now working on having computer added software linked with our website and social network to calm and retain our customers. Our core vision is to create sustainable and profitable agriculture opportunities throughout the country at large and globally.	The uniqueness can be realized on the quality of education for our farmers and agribusiness locals. Most of the agribusiness are not sustainable and profitable due to lack of current skills and knowledge In today and the future of agriculture practices and methods.	Since the idea has not yet fully developed, we have met challenges with the team on lack of financial support to keep up with day to day progress. That has always been a great challenges hence some team members can not persist to assist without financial income which is understandable and factful. Although we have some members who are sacrificing their time and finance to push forward the vision also supporting with their expertise and talents.	Our future target is to replicate the idea around the country mainly at rural areas were most people are farming and lacking knowledge and skills found mostly in urban areas. Will go across boarders in other countries were most farmers are lacking access to quality education of sustainable and profitable agriculture practices and methods.	We currently need a building structure of the Academy and also fitted with educational resouces such as projectors, computers, seminar room and auditorium sets and also offices as well as coffee shop and dinning hall.	https://www.entrepreneurship-campus.org/ideas/22/13104/	https://www.facebook.com/eventfeedbw/videos/2178679099088675/?t=22	1.

The long-term vision is to replicate and scale self-sustaining neighborhoods around the world and connect them through our Village OS software platform, in a way that uses AI/ML (artificial intelligence and machine learning) to improve and mitigate regenerative infrastructure for maximum thriving potential based on climate zones. The need for ReGen Villages is urgent where the impact will be stronger, healthier and self-reliant communities living further from cities in these dynamically changing environmental and economic times.	ReGen Villages is unique in its integration model of durable and resilient platforms that can learn from each other and autonomously improve across climate zones. There are no other platforms in the world that connect neighborhood infrastructure by climate zones and use this data and systemic approach to make the environment and lives better. The new perspective is on re-imagining greenfield developments outside of over crowded cities and urban areas, using ReGen Villages OS software to develop mixed use residential and agricultural lands, in ways that produce over abundant surpluses of clean water, food, energy and resources from waste, while housing thousands of families without compromising the productive value of these areas.	ReGen Villages has engaged outreach around the world, with continuing viral media spread of our vision and plans since 2016 after our announcement at the Venice Biennale for Architecture. We have brought on globally recognized branded industrial partners, top universities for collaboration and have a pipeline of land grant opportunities with government support. ReGen Villages patented its Village OS software platform and continues to develop the software to create the first of its kind automated neighborhood control system for regenerative and resilient infrastructure. We measure progress on our ability to continue this engagement, outreach and plans to break ground on our first pilot community in 2020, and then continually measure our impact for further EU and regional/structural government support.	Our first pilot community is intended to break ground in the Netherlands in 2020. We intend to expand the north European climate context in Sweden, UK and beyond to U.S. markets in impoverished areas. Since we commenced our Stanford University research in 2013 and founded our Dutch holding company in 2016, we continue to have outreach to sovereign wealth, surplus and pension funds looking for ways to reinvest from fossil fuels into asset-backed residential communities, but that have SDG impact. ReGen Villages therefore has a methodical approach to initially use private equity and patient debt, along with joint venture partnerships in each country, to co-develop and manage these thriving, self-sustaining pilot neighborhoods. Our intent is then to bundle 2-3 land holdings of villages into a larger green bonds that will enable ReGen Villages to replicate the joint venture development model around the world, especially in developing economies of rural India, Sub-Saharan Africa and ASEAN countries. ReGen Villages is also part of the EU Commission on Smart Rural Villages, helping to guide the nearly 3-billion new allocation of grants and subsidies toward regenerative and resilient neighborhood developments.	ReGen Villages Holding raised 1.2 million Euro from wealthy family offices since 2016. We are currently in a 1 million euro bridge to a 16 million Series-A round, which is actually sufficient funding in order for ReGen Villages to realize its first pilot community of 300 homes in the Netherlands. The Series-A round will also enable ReGen Villages to complete its Village OS software development and provide OPEX for continued expansion of our regenerative master planning pipeline. Mid-term we expect to raise Series B-E rounds over the next 5-years for a total of 140 million Euro, in order to reach terminal value for equity investors. Within this 5-year period ReGen VIllages will commence the creation of the first green bond offering in order to have a vehicle to transact with pension funds and sovereign wealth that are already compelled with ReGen Villages vision and plans. Our long-term goal is a 3-5 billion Euro green bond that will enable ReGen Villages to act as a fund of funds, to support regenerative neighborhood developments at scale around the world, powered by our Village OS software and AI platform.	http://www.ReGenVillages.com Original UN Sustainability Development Goal Platform Brief https://sustainabledevelopment.un.org/content/documents/622766_Ehrlich_Integrated%20village%20designs%20for%20thriving%20regenerative%20communities.pdf ReGen Villages Stanford Prototype Lab https://vimeo.com/337408542	James Ehrlich TEDxx Trondheim https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kH_94v67upo&t=7s CNN Money https://www.cnnmoney.ch/shows/big-picture/videos/regen-villages-james-ehrlich-your-home-could-pay-itself-ecovillage FastCompany https://www.fastcompany.com/90207375/the-worlds-first-high-tech-eco-village-will-reinvent-suburbs	ReGen Villages winner of Singularity University ""Global Grand Challenges"" 2016 - category Shelter SVOD conference, winner ""Most Sustainable Impact"" award Stanford Park Conference ""Most Disruptive Start-Up"" award, 2019
55	I am submitting a Solution to be considered for inclusion in UN Solutions Summit	JOSHWA	TAMBO	Kibera Community Empowerment Organization	www.kceo.org	Founding Director	Male	Kenya	Kenya	English	I was born and raised in Kibera slum, growing up I helped my entrepreneurial mum Syprose, to sell catfish to off school but more often than not we slept on an empty stomach because she was saving all the business profit to pay my school fee together with other 7 siblings. Nearly 65% of my classmates dropped out of school due to lack of school fee and feeding program in the school. My school was not exceptional but this phenomenon is true to other schools in slums in Kenya to date. pon graduation I co-founded KCEO, a non-profit that incubates women living with disabilities on social entrepreneurship, leadership development and digital literacy bundled with a yearlong 1:1 mentorship, market access, and seed capital- and also incubating schools on how to establish organic catfish farms in their respective schools to leverage organic food wastes to grow healthy, nutritious catfish to supplement schools feeding program, hence promoting school enrolment, uptake of afternoon classes and improving health of school children hence addressing hunger. I believe that women like Syprose (my mum) has significantly contributed to raising daring change markers in Kenya with non-conventional business skills- that is why am so passionate about replicating mores Syproses by incubating women living with disabilities who have been subjected to layers of stigma and discrimination yet they have underlying potential that has not yet been tapped. I also incubate more schools to produce healthy and nutritious catfish to replicate more Joshwa's who will grow to take actions of creating sustainable development platforms to solve social problems in their respective communities as I do today. So far KCEO has incubated 300 women living with disabilities from 7 slums in Kenya, launching 171 successful social ventures 100% women-led- collectively impacted 67,770 lives with their products/services. Our School Incubation program has so far incubated and invested in 50 schools across Kenya, so far fed 40,000 students with healthy and nutritious lunch meals.	I was born and raised in Kibera slum, the controversial capital of Nairobi largest informal settlement. On the whole, I am “a slum boy”, being used to overcrowded, lack of social infrastructure, insecurity and polluted days, but also lively and joyful nights. I am a big fun of community-based social entrepreneurship, and when I was younger I helped my entrepreneurial mum to sell indigenous vegetables and small fish (catfish) and leaned the spirit of social entrepreneurship, this build the passion in me to create sustainable development in my community. I’m 2018 Acumen Fellow, 2017 Mandela Washington Fellow-Business and Entrepreneurship Track. Joshwa is currently Special Advisor to the Kibera Community Empowerment Organization (KCEO), which he founded during 2011 so far impacted 100,000 lives through Street Literacy, Social Entrepreneurship and Food Security Programs. I co-founded Kshoes, a social enterprise that partners with skilled artisans age 16-30 years, producing recycled customized shoes sold both in Kenya and international market, this creates 12 jobs to skilled artisans, 117 youths, generated revenues are reinvested in empowering women. So far 300 women trained on leadership development, social entrepreneurship, and digital marketing, receiving seed capital and mentorship; out of which 171 started their businesses, serving 17000 lives on a daily basis. The supported businesses address food security, education, environment, technology and human rights. Joshwa has a Degree in Computer Science and Post Graduate Diploma in Sustainable Business	Organic Catfish Farms	We leverage organic food waste to produce healthy and nutritious catfish to feed school students	Goal 2. End hunger, achieve food security and improved nutrition and promote sustainable agriculture \| Goal 3. Ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all at all ages \| Goal 8. Promote sustained, inclusive and sustainable economic growth, full and productive employment and decent work for all	Kenya, with plans to scale it across East Africa	Yes	CDF office, -They will support other schools to establish cat fish farms in Kibera slum - Youth leaders, Women leaders, Popular opinion leaders, Chiefs. - CSO’s with interest in Agribusiness- We will work with them to scale cat fish farming th	Scaling	KCEO designed this program from the student perspectives tested it in 7 schools and replicated in an additional 43 schools, the result has been significant and now we are partnering with 10 county governments to scale it across 10 counties in Kenya with a projection to serve 500,000 students in the next 3 years	85 % of the households are food insecure, with 50 % being severely food insecure. The use of negative coping strategies to address food insecurity such as reducing the number of meals, reducing food variety and quality, scavenging, and eating street foods is prevalent in Kenya. This directly affects school attendance with student opting to stay home rather than attend classes on an empty stomach, eventually some drop out of school while the average school means score drops drastically.	Our Organic Catfish program identify, train and mentor schools in the informal settlements in Kenya on how to leverage locally available organic food waste to power customized Organic catfish ponds - the students then take the lead role of the product to increase their leadership and business management skills- The fish are harvested and used to serve school meals to promote school enrollment and uptake of afternoon classes. Additional fish are sold to the student's families at an affordable price to increase uptake of white meat which is healthy and nutritious, the income generated through these sales are used to set up new catfish ponds KCEO work with both county and national governments to offer agricultural extension services through the respective ministries of Agriculture, University of Nairobi Aquatic Department- they gain hands-on farm management skills, tools, and resources that enable their catfish farms yields to increases. Students are also supported to start customized mini catfish farms in their family backyards to increase food security in their respective communities and practically learned the art of social entreprenuership	Schools in Kenya today depend on Feed the Future program to offer meals in their respective schools, they donate food from breakfast to lunch even- the number of schools is way more than the food being donated to these schools- and more often than not schools have to wait for weeks before food can be delivered to these schools. This has significantly affected learning, school attendance, and overall students performances. We as KCEO believe that the most sustainable ways of ensuring schools are food secure to improve overall performance is to train and invest in schools to leverage locally available resources to produce healthy and nutritious food in mass using cost-effective methods such as our model. We do not entirely oppose the donor aid model in our community but we are running ahead of time because we are 100% sure it is not sustainable and sufficient, that is why our model is unique in our context. We do not only ensure that students stomachs are full but we leverage this model to train them social entrepreneurship and business management skills to build creativity and innovation culture hence generating a new breed of students who identify a problem in their communities mobilizing available resources to solve that problem. Today we have over 500 organic fish ponds established by students in their neighborhood, at least they are sure of 1 meal per day and some are selling the fish to generate their school fee hence keeping them in schools	KCEO today has incubated 50 schools successfully established 50 organic catfish farms and collectively fed 40,000 kids through this initiative. over 500 kids have replicated this model in their respective family backyards, with half of these families earning $3 daily from the sales of their catfish injecting these revenues in paying their school fee. KCEO has designed a digital curriculum and working of KCEO App that is going to offer customized tools that schools can plug in online to learn and replicate this model in their respective schools across East Africa to make their school's food secure. We have successfully formalized a partnership with both county and national government to leverage their resources and networks to adopt this model in their financial plan for national food budget with other 10 county governments across Kenya already adopted this model and funded it through 2019/2020 financial budget, this means in that the next years over 500 schools are going to have fully certified organic catfish farms. We measure- school enrollment, uptake of afternoon classes, family income from the family gardens, school additional income, new investments made, no of schools replicated the models, no teachers incubated	We have 3 goals of incubating and investing in 500 schools to establish 500 fully-fledged organic catfish ponds serving over 500,000 students on a daily basis. With the new partnership, we just made, we are looking forward to establishing 10 fully-fledged organic Aquatic Hubs in 10 different counties across Kenya hence incubating teachers, local farmers and youths across KENYA on how we can leverage locally available organic food waste to power customized catfish farms to make Kenya food secure. In 5 years we want to replicate this model across Uganda and Tanzania schools to caterlize the ripple effects across East Africa	Currently, KCEO has secured 50000$ from the county government 2019/2020 financial budget, our target in the next 3 years is to raise an additional $250k to establish fully-fledged organic Aquatic Hubs to incubate farmers and school teachers on models of making our communities food secure leveraging locally available resources. We are working on creating a pool of mentors from Aquatic departments from local universities that can invest their research skills to improve this model by documenting the lessons learned and design possible sustainability plans to ensure that KENYA and our neighbors are food secure to help boost our education performances.	https://www.facebook.com/KiberaEmpowerment/photos/a.1077523828929702/2671754776173258/?type=3&theater https://www.facebook.com/KiberaEmpowerment/photos/a.1077523828929702/2607831369232266/?type=3&theater https://www.facebook.com/KiberaEmpowerment/photos/a.1077523828929702/2606132096068860/?type=3&theater https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nxbmzERdy-w&fbclid=IwAR3X5o58dlqh8phOYUMo0C3Qjf2o67MylvyKWeb2owa7zN5nSx-r3NJpO2k	https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nxbmzERdy-w&fbclid=IwAR3X5o58dlqh8phOYUMo0C3Qjf2o67MylvyKWeb2owa7zN5nSx-r3NJpO2k	Ambassadors Self Help Award(US Embassy)- 2018 PISCCA AWARD(French Embassy)- 2017

Indre	Wanof	Kampung Course Indonesia	https://www.kampungcourse.id/	Co-Founder	Male	Indonesia	Indonesia	English	Since early childhood, I often accompanied my mother to sell vegetables at a traditional market and assisted my father work in a furniture store. These early experiences gave me exposure to entrepreneurship and taught me the value of hard work and community service. Now known as a person of high empathy and integrity, I have spent years developing my entrepreneurial interests for the benefit of my local community, especially for young people losing out on job opportunities or their studies due to lack of expertise. These interests have led me to establish Kampung Course (KC) (www.kampungcourse.com). At KC, we strive to connect students with course providers to uplift student skills and help SMEs achieve maximum productivity for the educational services by focusing on course promotions, mentoring, scholarship, community support, and youth empowerment. KC has successfully attracted 21,000 monthly visitors, connected >500 youths from 20 provinces with 35 course providers in Kediri, and entered Malang for replication. I am determined to spread the positive impact of KC farther and wider. I strongly believe that participating in this fellowship will develop my leadership capabilities and critical thinking for upscaling KC nationally and regionally. My passion for making Indonesia better through entrepreneurship and economic development, my years of related experiences, my willingness to share and collaborate with others, and my eagerness to learn from United Nations and all of their companion and Eagerness of Youth atmosphere really demonstrate that I am a suitable candidate for this program. I believe it will profoundly impact me, my communities, and my entrepreneurial projects.

This laudable program is an integral part of the drive for Universal Health Coverage in the state and nationwide. The CBHI scheme is currently being piloted in Ukana West Ward 2 in Essien Udim Local Government Area of Akwa Ibom State. CBHI model is characterized by “Pooling at the Ward Level” with a “Community Trust Fund” at the local government level. The Scheme is managed by community members (selected through an open process) who make up the Board of Trustees (BOT). The program is not for profit and provides risk pooling (protection) to cover the cost of health care services. Not for profit health care financing mechanism is based on solidarity (agreement, oneness) between members and democratically accountable to them.

Mr Ochepa Abdulhafeez is a Lecturer in the Department of Entrepreneurship and Business Studies, Federal University of Technology, Minna. He is currently pursuing PhD in Management at Abubakar Tafawa Balewa University, Bauchi. He obtained M.Sc in Management from Kogi State University, Anyigba, Kogi State in the year 2016. He Lectures Management and Entrepreneurship related courses. Mr Ochepa was formerly an employee of United Bank for Africa Plc as a Relationship Manager before joining the University in the year 2012. He is currently serving as the Secretary on the University Convocation Exhibition Sub-Committee and equally served as a Students Level Adviser for four years. He is equally the Staff Adviser of the National Association of Entrepreneurship and Management Technology Students (NAEMTS). Mr Ochepa is the Business Manager of the Department of Entrepreneurship and Business Studies Model Shop. He has been highly instrumental in organizing yearly Entrepreneurship Week in the University.

His research work encompasses Entrepreneurship, Human Resource, SMEs, General Management and the likes. Mr. Ochepa had just invented a new product ""M&M Straw Cup"" a solution for hygienic handling of Straws in hospitality sector and households.	M&M Straw Cup	An enclosed cup designed to pop-out a single straw at the push of the button thereby reducing the risk of contamination to the barest minimum	Goal 3.

Promote sustained, inclusive and sustainable economic growth, full and productive employment and decent work for all \| Goal 9. Build resilient infrastructure, promote inclusive and sustainable industrialization and foster innovation	Nigeria, South Africa, Germany and the world at large, in the long run.	No		Ideation	Because all conventional methods of handling straws, observed so far, cause straws to be contaminated by their exposure to multiple hands contact, dust, house flies and even bacteria. Hence, our product is an innovation in this case as it is an enclosed cup designed to pop-out a single straw at the push of the button thereby reducing the risk of contamination to the barest minimum.	It has been wildly observed that straws are not properly handled in public places like eateries, hospitality homes and even in many households. They are usually exposed to germs and other contamination caused by multiple hands contact, houseflies, bacteria and the likes.	Our product(cup) allows a single straw to pop-out at the push of the button. This solution will improve the hygiene, especially as it relates to the way straws are being handled in the hospitality sector and individual households.	M&M Straw Cup is an enclosed cup designed to pop-out a single straw at the push of the button thereby reducing the risk of contamination, caused by the conventional methods of handling straws which exposes them at various unhealthy degrees.	We have been able to develop a prototype (an MVP)	We hope to grow from rapid prototyping stage to mass production of the product and leverage on large market in the hospitality sector and growing population of households in Nigeria to gain heavy traction and start exportation of the product to other countries in the next two years. More professional employees will be brought on board our team and we believe to keep iterating and improving on our product based on feedback in order to continue to increase our market shares and remain in the world market for as long as the beverages and other bottle drinks that will require our straw cup, for save drinking, remain in the world market.	Short-term: Startup and operating capital, Business Office, Professional employees Medium-term: Market share expansion by starting product export to neighboring countries. Launching other product versions and engaging in the product foreign direct investment Long-term: Market dominance and increased product line, world-wide Product presence and selling of company shares to the general public.	https://staff.futminna.edu.ng/website_home.php?id2=82a3x2a43484	https://twitter.com/AbubakarOchepa/status/1153230080921001984?s=20	Startup Nigeria 2019 - Finalist Grand Entrepreneurship & Management Award(GEM Award) 2018 - Winner Letter of Commendation (Federal University of Technology, Minna, Niegria) - 2017

I'm from Sierra Leone and a student of Electronics and Telecommunication Engineering, Njala University. I'm a Social Innovator working to identify and empower innovators and their ideas to benefit our various communities . Most outstanding achievements have ranged from being an Innovator who have impacted communities with solutions in terms of Energy and Agriculture. I'm a nominated Most Influential Young Youth in my hometown. Nominated Innovator of the year 2019 in my country Winner of the Infracon Engineering student competition 2019 My story can inspire my fellow Africans especially in the field of social innovations looking at the fact that only few youths are into that. My story will motivate others to start solving pressing problems within there communities even without government involvement. Years back, my team provided electricity service for a community in my country using a Solar and Wind tech combined with our knowledge. This can ginger others to take the lead instead of listening to government. Since 2012, I started the innovation journey with an organization called Innovate Salone, a hub to empower innovators. Later, I was an alumni and had to take this initiative in my hometown,Kono District which well known for diamonds mining. My step to implement innovation to this place is leading and motivating youths to take up actions in solving pressing problems in there respective communities. To date, this district is one of the leading one in terms of solutions like Auto irrigation systems, Mini hydro generator that produces clean energy and a SunBox using solar energy. All these ideas are on the realm to be implemented once fully completed and they're with local materials around us. So, this initiative being led and still on the process to improve education and empower communities is something I can proud of because it was my first venture to serve my country. www.facebook.com/mohamed.alpha3 My Facebook link where you can find more interesting stories of my ventures in innovation Best Regards Mohamed Alpha	Mohamed Alpha, born in Kono District, Sierra Leone. Age 24, went to school in the capital of Sierra Leone, Freetown. Was raised by a single parent, my mother. I am currently studying Electronics and Telecom in Sierra Leone. I am an innovator by passion solving problems across my country and continent. I am an African Presidential Leadership Program fellow, Young African Leadership Initiative fellow, studied Global Social Entrepreneurship- certificate.	MINI HYDRO GENERATOR	Mini hydro system is a solution to providing electricity for rural areas in my country and at the same time do not pollute the environment .	Goal 4. Ensure inclusive and equitable quality education and promote lifelong learning opportunities for all \| Goal 7 Ensure access to affordable, reliable, sustainable and modern energy for all \| Goal 11. Make cities and human settlements inclusive, safe, resilient and sustainable \| Goal 13. Take urgent action to combat climate change and its impacts	SIERRA LEONE	Yes	Innovate Sierra Leone/ Global Minimum	Sustainable Scale	The mini hydro generator is an idea based on the fact of the suffering of our community people in accessing electricity at affordable cost and at the same time do not harm the environment. It works with slow running water and was built with local materials with an output of 220v/1000watt. It can serve many communities because it can be replicated and very easy to operate. It works with no fossil fuel, just the use of running water,slow or fast.	Providing Electricity for Rural Communities 75% of Sierra Leoneans are farmers in the rural communities of the country, living in total blackout for decades now. Since 1975 to date, Sierra Leone has undertaken six hydro-power projects with a total output of 61.75MW, which is quite below the country’s revealed hydro-power potential of 5000MW. Babies are delivered everyday in rural areas in Sierra Leone.	A Micro-Hydro Power Plant innovated with an A-D-A (AC-DC-AC) system for sustainability and efficiency, Suitable for installation in naturally slow flowing and artificially moving water, with a rated output of 100KW. Have the potentials for 24 hours of generating quality electric energy to supply 2500 homes. Innovated to use less expensive materials for installation, less maintenance and room for repairs and maintenance without shorting down power transmission. Eco-friendly, and with 100% possibilities for replication in 1000s of rural communities in Sierra Leone, In Africa and the world at large. Estimated population is 2,500 Households. Our long term plans is, each year after implementation, we occupy another village. Annual market for electricity in the Manjama village (case study town) is Le 80,000,000 We shall be selling at [Le] 500.00 {$ 0.15}USD Per 1 Unit/kilowatt. With this research, we have huge market value and long term services because there are up to thousands villages and towns without electricity.	OUR COMPETITORS 1. Less expensive to install and run and can work yearly round compared to solar plants 2. Less prone to breakdown and Eco friendly compared to thermal plant with an equivalent outputs. Low volume of water is required for installation. Small piece of land is required for installation. Less expensive materials are required. Absolutely little or no negative effects on the environment (eco-friendly) Rooms for repairs and maintenance without shorting down supply Sustainable 24 hours of electricity generation and supply is possible Clean and affordable electricity to meet the income status of the target consumers Opportunity for micro-industrialization. Opportunity for community growth and development. Opportunity for commerce and income generation. Easily adoptable and adaptable in rural communities. Can be installed with or without naturally flowing water.	ACHIEVEMENTS SO FAR: Completed the implementation architectures of the solution Completed 2 years of feasibility studies on the seasonal behaviors of the proposed river This was a tough junior from the idea stage to now. We have to use our own resources as students to travel in different locations, interview people, collect data, study the situation of water flow. Then, we had to finalize to base our idea in this kind of innovative prototype.	The Mini Hydro System is easy to install and run and can work everywhere with water availability and Africa as a whole has abundant water facilities. It has huge employment opportunities as local youths will be trained to implement, run and repair. This idea was designed to be replicated in such a way it can impact any community people, our initial estimated population in the village we did the cases study was up to TWO THOUSANDS households and has capabilities to impact more.	1. Expertise to scale up the idea. 2. Financial cost to scale up the idea and implement in the case study environment as our short term goal. 3. Long Term needs are opportunities to acquire more knowledge in Leadership and Engineering in a way we can give back to our various respective communities. we are students that are passionate about solving pressing problems affecting our people.	www.facebook.com/mohamed.alpha3	www.facebook.com/mohamed.alpha3	INFRACON Engineering Students competitions 2019 Most Influential Young Person , 2018 Nominated Innovator by Eminence Africa 2019

63	I am submitting a Solution to be considered for inclusion in UN Solutions Summit	Manu	Prakash	Foldscope Instruments	http://www.foldscope.com	Assistant Professor	Male	United States of America	India	English	Imagine a world where every child has a microscope in their pocket. What might change? Might more students move into the STEM fields? Would they discover something new in the microcosmos? Could they have a better understanding of their own world by knowing what is hidden but powerful? Might a new notion of cleanliness emerge, a way of thinking about scale and life itself? The problem we are addressing is that in the world today over 1 Billion children live in homes where the family income is less than $2.5 a day. Access to education, let alone scientific instruments, is limited to these children. And yet nearly all of these children have pencil and paper. To that list of essentials we would like to add the microscope. We have invented a very low-cost microscope made of paper and a tiny glass lens. The cost to make our microscope is less than $1 and yet the power of this microscope rivals those of instruments found in chemistry classrooms across the developed world - 140x magnification with 2 um resolution. In testing this device we have found the imagination of our testers far exceeded our own in the utility of this device. It is not only extremely inexpensive (a primary goal of ours) but also extremely hardy in tough environments making it an amazingly useful tool to scientists and researchers in the field (and children on the playground!) We would like the world to take up this challenge with us - getting these devices into the hands of every child will take more than a village - it will take a planet. We have already been working to convince governments, school districts, NGOs, states, cities and philanthropic citizens that the need exists and the solution is in our reach. Please help us along this journey. The results could be nothing less than life-changing for the student and history-making for the world.

Foldscope	Magnifying Curiosity Worldwide	Goal 4. Ensure inclusive and equitable quality education and promote lifelong learning opportunities for all \| Goal 6. Ensure availability and sustainable management of water and sanitation for all \| Goal 10. Reduce inequality within and among countries	All countries. We currently sell our microscope to over 140 countries	Yes	Moore Foundation, Indian Government, Stanford University	Scaling	We are still trying to find the best marketing methods and partnerships to get to sustainability. We are very close but need some infusion of advice/ideas and funds to get to that level. We have distributed and/or sold nearly 1M Foldscopes around the planet, but because the device is so inexpensive, we don't make much on each sale so it will take many more sales on a regular basis to create sustainability.	The need for everyone to have access to scientific tools in order to explore and better understand the world at the microscopic scale. We see a great divergence between the developed and developing world in terms of access to these types of tools and we want to correct that inequity. We believe every child should have access to a microscope much like a pencil. We also believe that with access comes curiosity and interest and will likely promote STEM careers to a new set of children.	We produce the lowest cost microscope possible - but one that is a true scientific tool, not a toy. We believe that by making the device so inexpensive (less than $1 to manufacture, our lowest cost is $1.75 to buy) access will increase exponentially. We are already in partnership with the Government of India to get Foldscopes distributed broadly in that country but we need the same in many more countries. We are currently working in China, Argentina and Russia at the Government level to get the broadest impact we can. We need to continue that across the globe.	This is the first and only scientific microscope that can be made for under $1. This is the main unique quality of the device which makes it accessible to all. The device is made from paper and a small glass bead for a lens. The design borrows from the earliest microscope designed by van Leeuwenhoek. We produce two basic product lines: a Deluxe kit that is affordable to the developed world that includes the basic Foldscope and a number of accessories. Our second line is the basic Foldscope. This allows us to sell 20 Foldscopes for $35 or $1.75 per Foldscope and making it accessible to many more people who would otherwise not have access to such instruments. We hope that by selling the Deluxe kit to those who can afford it, the company can then sell the low-cost kit to those in the developing world.	We started in 2015 out of Stanford University with free distribution of the beta version of the Foldscope. Over 50,000 were distributed to 130+ countries through individual requests. We received very positive feedback and in 2016 founded Foldscope Instruments to produce and sell the microscope. A second version was designed under the auspices of the company and has been sold through our online store, Amazon, purchase orders and through trade shows. In 2019 we will hit 1,000,000 distributed. We have a partnership with the Indian Government to distribute to teachers across India. We are developing similar partnerships in Argentina, Vietnam, China and Russia.	We will continue to explore government partnerships in Brazil, Chile, Mexico, Malaysia, Indonesia and others. We would like to be the go-to microscope for all middle school and high school students across the planet. In addition, we hope to explore medical applications for Foldscope and bring additional frugal scientific products into the pipeline from the Prakash Lab at Stanford University (where the Foldscope was invented). At the same time, we continue to build our community of users - microcosmos participants will come from every region, every walk of life, every country and every age. This website contains a huge treasure trove of scientific data. We hope to soon exploit this data to develop organism identification using AI and other computer tools.	In the short term, we see marketing as a high priority and we need some capital infusion to get to the next level so will be doing some fundraising. Medium term we hope to expand our manufacturing to India (currently manufacture in China only). Long term we will continue expanding our manufacturing to locations that optimize distribution and we will execute on new products such as a low-cost centrifuge (in development at Stanford currently), microtome, and other scientific and diagnostic devices.	http://www.foldscope.com/ our primary website http://microcosmos.foldscope.com/ is our community of users - people post their Foldscope findings here and others comment. https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2015/12/21/through-the-looking-glass-annals-of-science-carolyn-kormann https://www.foldscope.com/research is a list of papers by us and others about Foldscope use.	https://youtu.be/ky-cqSI5mwE https://youtu.be/0kga0UitN2E https://www.facebook.com/nasdaily/videos/2260630110884501/ https://youtu.be/BUB3pBC38YE https://t.co/800b5I5mU5?amp=1	2014 TR35 MIT Technology Review 2014 NSF Career Award 2015 NIH Directors New Innovator Award 2015 National Geographic Emerging Explorer 2016-2018 HHMI-Gates Fellow 2016 MacArthur Fellow 2016 APS DFD Milton van Dyke Award 2016 Nikon Small World Video Competition 2017 Popular Science/NSF “Vizzies” Experts 2017 WIRED’s Next List 2017 ChanZuckerberg BioHub Investigator 2017 Index Award, Design to Improve Life 2017 Medgadget’s Best Medical Technology 2017 Rolling Stone’s 25 People Shaping the Future

Empowering Girl’s through Education and Improving Women livelihood in the Marginalized Communities	(MWEZESHE MSICHANA) EMPOER A GIRL	Goal 4. Ensure inclusive and equitable quality education and promote lifelong learning opportunities for all \| Goal 5. Achieve gender equality and empower all women and girls	Tanzania	No		Research & Development	This solution is at the stage in which I am working at as the communities I work with is not much aware of what it means tom educate a girl. Women account for roughly half the world's population, perform two-thirds of the hours worked, receive one-tenth of the world's income, and have less than one-hundredth of the world's property registered in their names. Communities I work with need more attention to the matter of Girls education.	The solution is addressing the attitude of many national development frameworks that fail to recognize the value of educating girls; that they may improve their livelihood and stand on their own against discrimination in their lives.Develop capacities and readiness of Girls participants to explore using digital learning and Empowering Girls through Education; that they may Improve their livelihood in the Marginalized Communities(MWEZESHE MSICHANA)mean to support a Girl in the Swahili language	The long term vision for the global impact is strengthening the presence and voice of women in the policy, with the overall goal of developing leadership roles for Community-women at the global level. The solution draws upon the popularity of community Women leaders’ in different areas of the Region and as well as the global level by utilizing a mechanism for delivering the Educational messaging and spreading awareness about Girls Rights to Education as Education is women's rights.	The solution is unique as it is about the education of the girl child, as well as education for the girl child assumes critical importance both from the perspective of women’s empowerment and globalization of education. The uniqueness also is about the; intervention is for strengthened future of the family to have a positive effect and what can be done to improve the family’s perspective to the education and with the attention of the girl marginalized people – including children – at the top of the agenda. But two years since world leaders committed to achieving a clean environment for children – though still far short the SDGs, are we on track to achieve the goals for children? Do we even have enough information to know? Progress for Every Child in the SDG Era assesses the intervention for marginalized girls that is expected to overcome these specific causes of marginalization as well as ensure access and completion of basic education.	We look upon and have a followup to the following. Progress for Every Child in the SDG Era Progress for Every Child in the SDG Era reveals the magnitude – and the urgency – of the challenge: On average, 75-80 per cent of child-relevant indicators in each country either have insufficient data or show insufficient progress to meet global SDG targets by 2030. Despite much progress, a child without an education is still there. Educating girls helps to make communities and societies healthier, wealthier and safer, and can also help to reduce child deaths, improve maternal health and tackle the spread of HIV and AIDS; that would the outcome of expansion and improvement in girls’ education. It also considered evidence on the relationship between expansion and improvement in girls’ education and a deepening of gender equality.	As working through community-based and government-supported models to reach the poorest individuals within the country. First, I decided to work within the poorest communities as part of the study; Empowering Girl’s through Education and Improving Women livelihood in the Marginalized Communities; this the work to be done within the Manyara Administrative 4 Districts-namely; Mbulu, Hanagw, Babati and Simanjiro for the Maasai Girls Education in which I have been aiming for the welfare of the Barabaig and Hadzabe Girls Education advancement. Empowering Girl’s through Education and Improving Women livelihood in the Marginalized Communities(MWEZESHE MSICHANA) and those with the worst educational indicators. Second, I am working with locally-based models of intervention to try and reach those with the most need through Village, Savings and Lending (VSL), Mothers Groups, partnership with Government representatives and religious bodies who serve the most marginalized. The program aims to reach 20000 schoolgirls in around 200 schools in 3 districts. The program's impact includes its influence on 500 School Development Committee members, 9000 mothers of girls who participate in a mothers' group, and 2,000 traditional religious leaders whose involvement will allow for culturally and religiously appropriate approaches. IGATE estimates the number of direct beneficiaries to be 40,000 in the first 3 operating years.	The short term, medium-term and long term needs are:- 1 Awareness on improving the quality and effectiveness of Girls education Girls' Access to Education and developed effective models for working with others in the work in the three years of the Project. 2. Improve societal development and quality of life through family education and social development programs for girls with the means of improving the effectiveness of Health and Family Planning. 3. Improved Mother to Girls awareness of their girls and Sexual status with transparency; relationship developed better. 4. Improving the quality and effectiveness of their educational and social development programs for girls; 5.

I have worked and volunteered with varied organisations in order to gain a wide range of experiences. I have also volunteered with social enterprises like Greener Way, Clean Bhutan and Earth Guardians back in her country. Working as an intern in multicultural organisation like World Food Program, United Nations has made me think creatively and solve problems in new and exciting ways. While in Bhutan I also worked with Mr. T. Sangay Wangchuk, the Managing Director of Etho Metho Tours on his Agro-Tourism pilot project (Dhumra Farm Resort), in Punakha Bhutan. Currently, I am working as a fellow member of Awaji Youth Federation (AYF) in Awaji Japan. AYF is a fellowship program that provide a creative platform so young innovators and designers can come together across cultures, backgrounds and disciplines.

I can realise my dream to help the rural communities in Bhutan to achieve sustainable education. I hope to apply effectively my experiences from various activities, in all aspects of work. During my final year in the university i studied on plant called Sympolocos paniculata (pangtse) in Punakha, Bhutan.It can be one of the solution to food security due to its various sustainable use. It is common in the Himalayan region throughout Bhutan, India, Pakistan, Myanmar, and China at altitudes raniging from 1500-3000 masl. However, the potential of plant to produce oil, the traditional knowledge of its use, its ethnobotany, and the extraction of its oil has not been explored. There is a lack of research and documentation of indigenous knowledge on this plant species. Therefore, the purpose of this project was to document the traditional method of extracting pangtse oil practiced in Yowa village, Kabesa gewog, Punakha, Bhutan. The extraction processes from its initial flowering to harvest and extraction yield have been documented.	My name is Sheka Choden.

I hope to apply effectively my experiences from various activities, in all aspects of work.	Food security solution: Symplocos Paniculata ( Asian Berry), an edible oil extracted by the local people of Bhutan in punakha.	Symplocos is a genus of flowering plant belonging to the symplocaceae family. It is a solution to food security and environmental conservation.	Goal 2. End hunger, achieve food security and improved nutrition and promote sustainable agriculture \| Goal 15. Protect, restore and promote sustainable use of terrestrial ecosystems, sustainably manage forests, combat desertification, and halt and reverse land degradation and halt biodiversity loss	This is a solution which the local of rural Bhutan of Punakha has been doing it for generations. They have their own traditional method to extract the oil. It is one of the traditional ethno-botanical knowledge on plants and their uses.	No		Research & Development	In my final year of university, i chose this study because of lack of research even among Bhutanese people. Only the few older generations has been practicing this oil extraction and now its extraction has been diminishing due to its tedious work. Therefore, the study seeks to document how pangtse makhu is extracted, a method which is a dying culture.	Extraction of edible oil from symplocos paniculata has been a dying culture in Punakha, Bhutan due to the cheap availability of other edible oils. Growing of this plant along the rice field not only serves as additional food source to the people of Punakha, Bhutan, but it is also found to have ecological uses. S. paniculata can adapt to different temperature zones and varying soil conditions thus solving the forest degradation issues.	Through other studies done in China, it indicated that due to its high unsaturated fatty acids symplocos paniculata has the potentia to bel bioenergy plants. In India natural dyes are also extracted from the plant. A yellow dye is extracted from the bark. According to the Bhutanese it also contains traditional herbal medicine. Therefore, this a multi-solution plant that solves ecological, herbal, and food security issues, if we plant this species.	This oil is traditionally extracted in few parts of Bhutan. locals has few knowledge about it. It is a dying culture and this kind of ethno-botanical knowledge needs to be shared around the world.	Other than doing these small research project by documenting the process in my final year of university. We have not made any progress. Further studies along with experts in plant are needed to study this plant thoroughly. In the future we might be able to study and propagate this plant species and commercially sell the oil to other countries. I call this oil the olive of Bhutan.	The government of Bhutan has supplied oil expeller from India, to recover the production of Pangtse makhu oil and reduce the intensive nature of pangtse makhu production. However, through mystudy , i found out that the purity of the oil is better in the traditional method a because of the use of the tight bamboo basket for pressing the oil. My goal is to help these rural community of Bhutan to develop a machine, that solely works for that seed and reduce their tedious work. I want to be the bridge that connects and finds experts and engineers that can help the farmers of Bhutan. Through this competition, i want to be the youngest youth to help the rural farmers.	Traditional extraction processes have a maximum capacity of about 20 kg per day, and modern powered machinery can double that amount. It’s a labour intensive process which involves three people working one full day from drying to extraction of 2 litres of oil from 20 kgs of pangtse makhu. The traditional practice for extracting Pangtse makhu is found to be labour intensive. The grinding of the pangtse to expelling oil is a tedious, a time consuming, which results in very low yield of extracted oil. Hence, we need to develop a machine or solution that can extract the oil. 1.We also need to find out in the long run, how to grow the plant and meet the consumption of the people. 2. Testing the oils properties and comparing with other edible oils to find its benefits. 3. Pangtse makhu is a non-refined oil it does not have a long shelf life so finding a way to increase it shelf life.	https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JKMtS-p-IuQ	I don't have videos or audio, but i have pictures.

66	I am submitting a Solution to be considered for inclusion in UN Solutions Summit	Spyros	Schismenos	School of Social Sciences and Psychology (SSAP), Humanitarian and Development Research Initiative (HADRI), Western Sydney University (WSU)	https://www.westernsydney.edu.au/ssap/ssap/research/humanitarian_and_development_research_initiative	PhD Fellow and Research Member	Male	Australia	Greece	English	We have decided to apply to be part of the UN Solutions Summit because we want share with the people our research project and involve as many communities as possible in this initiative. About our project, Hydropower for Disaster Resilience Applications (HYDRA) aims to investigate low-cost models providing localized hydropower to support remote community socio-economic growth and environmental sustainability, through the development of a pilot product - a portable, do-it-yourself (DIY), easy-to-deploy-and-operate (EDO) micro-hydropower generator that is equipped with flood warning systems designed to operate at the local level. This system could be beneficial for remote communities with limited energy resources and insufficient flood resilience mechanisms. Furthermore, the system could be operated and maintained by end-users without the obligatory participation of professionals. HYDRA is informed by the principles of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction at the community level. The project exists at the nexus of these important agendas – seeking to establish a sustainable energy source that supports local development, as well as an early-warning system that can minimize disaster losses. Moreover, HYDRA presents technologies and methods that currently exist (portable micro-hydropower and localized early-warning) but have not previously been used in an integrated fashion. Lastly, HYDRA prioritizes the needs of riparian communities facing energy insufficiency and limited flood response resources and capabilities. It follows a “local to global” strategy and is suitable for low-income populations. Positive findings can contribute to saving lives during water-based disasters, especially among vulnerable groups, such as the elderly and those with mobility issues. The DIY/EDO concept (similar to an IKEA/LEGO product) provides a notable advantage, since it can be built, dismantled and rebuilt multiple times by end-users with limited expertise or educational background without the obligatory participation of technicians or professionals. Importantly, HYDRA can enhance community-based disaster preparedness, including collaboration between community groups and emergency responders. The suggested product may not satisfy all the energy needs of every community, but it will result in economic, environmental and psycho-social benefits to more remote communities who frequently experience energy inequality.	I am currently a PhD Fellow and Member of Humanitarian and Development Research Initiative (HADRI) at Western Sydney University in Sydney, Australia. Since 2016, I have been offering services to the UNESCO Chair on Conservation and Ecotourism of Riparian and Deltaic Ecosystems (UNESCO Chair Con-E-Ect) as the Focal Point for the Wider Region of Asia and Pacific. I am also an active member of the United Nations Major Group for Children and Youth (UN MGCY) - 5 publications with UN MGCY (3 of them will be published soon). My research focus areas include disaster management, renewable energy, community development, environmental sustainability and humanitarian engineering. Through my research, I aim to promote these fields in a combined manner under the inspiring scheme of 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. For more information please check my CV.	Hydropower for Disaster Resilience Applications (HYDRA)	HYDRA is a portable, low-cost, DIY/EDO micro-hydropower generator equipped with flood warning systems designed to operate at the local level	Goal 7 Ensure access to affordable, reliable, sustainable and modern energy for all \| Goal 8. Promote sustained, inclusive and sustainable economic growth, full and productive employment and decent work for all \| Goal 11. Make cities and human settlements inclusive, safe, resilient and sustainable \| Goal 13. Take urgent action to combat climate change and its impacts	Greece, Australia, Nepal, Brazil, Guatemala	Yes	UNESCO Chair on Conservation and Ecotourism of Riparian and Deltaic Ecosystems, International Hellenic University (Greece), Galileo University (Guatemela), Municipality of Nova Friburgo (Brazil), communities in Nepal (Nepal), My Safety Approved (USA)	Research & Development	This research initiated recently (31.01.2019). Even though we have published related articles, we secured the required funding in June 2019. The research will be completed in 2021. A documentary and short videos will be developed to show the progress.Social media and a website will keep our followers up to date.	The improvements in disaster management schemes for riparian ecosystems do not reflect the reality of those rural/remote communities in areas where natural hazards abound. Water-based disasters are a serious threat as they can develop rapidly and at different scales. Generalized warning systems are often incapable of accurate, in-time flood predictions, especially at the local level. This, and related challenges, such as energy insufficiency, undermine local socio-economic development.	HYDRA aims to prove whether portable hydropower generators designed for local-level applications and disaster response can: i.accurately detect phases of water-based disasters, ii.warn nearby communities and response authorities prior to flood inundation, and iii.increase the effectiveness of evacuation plans. This can be achieved by generating the minimum energy required to activate warning systems (lights, sirens) and evacuation routes (lights) during the early stages of a flood event. Positive findings could contribute to early-warning system programs and save lives during extreme weather events, especially among vulnerable groups such as the elderly and those with mobility issues. It could also prevent conflict and maintain human dignity (basic quality of life standards) in post-disaster phases. This research could also enhance community-based disaster preparedness, including collaboration between communities and other stakeholders (first responders, authorities, national agencies, NGOs). A long-term key potential benefit lies in the establishment and “daily use” of a localized renewable energy source, its economic and psycho-social effects, and with these acting as a critical vehicle for community-based disaster preparedness via an effective flood response capability.	HYDRA is an innovative research because it uses technologies that currently exist (micro-hydropower and localized early-warning) but not used combined for remote community emergency response and socio-economic development. Even though many researches focus on community challenges and opportunities when establishing the aforementioned technologies, none of them investigates them combined. At this point is should be stated that there are researches which present localized early-warning systems powered by solar or show how can solar contributes in disaster recovery phase. However, these researches are not related to what we suggest since they use a renewable energy source that is not directly connected to the water-based disaster that affects the community. Our goal is to develop a system that is not affected by the flood, continues to operate during the flood disaster, and supports the community in the response process (e.g. powers evacuation lights and/or a shelter). This concept can increase disaster awareness and save lives, especially in remote riparian areas where low-income communities reside.	Even though we have published several articles related to this topic, we have only recently started the prototype design, development and testing. Specifically, about our methodology and data collection schemes as follows: Methodology: In order to obtain comprehensive information suitable for evaluating the feasibility of the study and its uses in vulnerable communities we will focus on 3 different data sources: literature review, prototype testing (lab and field), and end-users evaluation (community and emergency groups participants). Data collection: The data collection is divided to two sections: (i) prototype testing, which includes simulation and modeling, and lab and field testing, and (ii) end-users evaluation which includes “DIY/EDO components” – system assembly/disassembly, “early-warning system” - emergency evacuation drill, and stakeholders’ opinion (community and emergency groups participants). The field testing will take place in Greece. Then it can continue in Nepal or Brazil or Guatemala (subject to data results).	2019-2020: design, develop and test the HYDRA system (lab testing and community testing in Greece) 2020-2021: optimize the system 2022-2023: test the system in Nepal, Guatemala and/or Brazil/ 2024-...: release it in the market. Major goal is to make the system as low-cost as possible so more vulnerable communities can benefit from it. The system will be DIY/EDO so end-users will limited technical knowledge can assembly it without the obligatory presence of professionals.	short-term: funding (this need has been secured by the partners of the project) medium-term: testing the system in at least 2 flood-prone communities (aiming for one low-income and one high-income community) and promotion of the participant communities long-term: testing the system in multiple communities (mainly low-income communities in Asia, Africa and Latin America) and promotion of the participant communities in order to (i) familiarize the public with the limited capabilities of the participant communities in disaster resilience and (ii) attract more visitors or provide more opportunities so the participant communities can achieve socio-economic growth and improve their well-being. Please note that the more funding and support we have the more communities we can include.

Reduce inequality within and among countries	Kenya, Zimbabwe, South Africa, India	Yes	USAID, Kenya National TB Programme, Academic Partners at MIT, A large pharmaceutical company and a large telecom operator	Transition to Scale	Today, our largest project supports nearly 20% of Kenya's annual TB population. We have new small-scale projects in different geographies, new products in the works and longer-term plans for new partnerships in new countries. Accordingly, our program is currently being demonstrated at scale with early adoption by next customers underway. To us, this suggests the value of our offerings and appropriateness/adoption of our sustainability and scale model.	22 million people die each year from tuberculosis, HIV, diabetes and cardiovascular disease, which all have effective treatments or cures. A series of non-medical drivers of disease - access to care challenges, burdensome treatment protocols, community stigmas, healthcare systems that lack the resources or behavioral expertise, and a general lack of information, motivation and support - exist outside of health facilities and affect how people perform on treatment.	# Keheala uses behavioral science to guide the design of an intervention so that individuals are maximally motivated to adhere. In the last twenty years, an explosion of research in the social sciences has demonstrated that seemingly small changes in the decision environment, such as a change in the way information is framed, or a change in the default, can result in large changes in behavior. Our team specialize in the use and development of such “nudges”, as they’re often called, particularly for more effectively promoting prosocial behavior. The key elements of our approach are to increase accountability, decrease plausible deniability, and communicate expectations. Specifically, adherence is reframed as a public good, norms are established and observability around an individual’s daily adherence is increased, in an anonymous way, because people are more likely to complete an expected behavior when they know others are watching. To achieve these aims, we utilize a two-way mHealth platform whose key features are daily self-verification, follow-up from live supporters in the event that individuals do not verify after multiple reminders, and occasional normative, motivational messaging. While healthcare providers can access a web-dashboard and certain reminders are sent across SMS, the majority of interactions occur across an Unstructured Supplementary Service Data (USSD) platform that is accessible from 99% of all phones, including basic feature phones, without download.	#Other 'adherence' solutions enable remote monitoring of patient adherence but are still dependent on the underlying healthcare system to address the drivers of non-adherence. This is often the challenge has healthcare systems frequently lack the resources or the expertise to address the non-medical drivers of disease, which exist outside of the healthcare facility - in the home and in the community. Keheala extends the reach of the healthcare system beyond healthcare workers, into the hands of patients - a healthcare system's greatest resource - to provide them with tools of empowerment that motivate healthcare-seeking behaviors. Keheala actively and independently maximizes an individual's motivation and adherence to treatment by designing every interaction with insights and best practices from the social science. To the best of our knowledge, Keheala is the only mHealth platform that has rigorously demonstrated improved health outcomes in TB or HIV. Keheala offers an effective and cost-conscious alternative grounded in behavioral science and leveraging the proliferation of mobile phones in the developing world.	#In partnership with the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), the Kenyan Ministry of Health and academic partners at MIT, Keheala implemented a 1200 tuberculosis patient randomized controlled trial in Kenya. Patients using the Keheala intervention demonstrated a 68% reduction in the unsuccessful treatment outcomes - death, failed treatment and loss to follow up - compared to the standard of care control group. These results were recently accepted to the New England Journal of Medicine for publication. The company is now treating 20% Kenya's TB population, a new intervention in Zimbabwe for its first customer, UNDP, has been launched, and the approach is now being modified for HIV and diabetes in partnership with a large African telecom. Whenever possible, Keheala implements randomized controlled trials - the Gold Standard for evidence-based research, to validate our approach with a new context or in new geographies in order to proactively assuage potential skeptics. Today, we've addressed a dire immediate challenge, behavior change around healthy behaviors, and we're now leveraging the vast amounts of data we have to solve next-generation challenges: spatially predicting disease and drug-resistant outbreaks for supply chain management; predicting who is likely to succeed or fail treatment, early-on, in order to differentiate-care and optimize resource allocation; and tailoring public health solutions to individuals.	#There are plans in place to move into India and South Africa. We're also moving upstream in the patient care cascade to address pre-treatment screening, pre-treatment loss to follow up and challenges around access to or accuracy of quality diagnostics. Other use-cases we're currently moving into or considering have to do with TB prophylaxis, HIV (ART and PrEP) adherence, vaccination programs, as well as NCDs (diabetes and cardiovascular disease). Around the world, there are 22 million people who unnecessarily die from TB, HIV, diabetes and cardiovascular disease, not to mention many many more who suffer within their treatment protocols. Keheala can save these lives, reduce suffering and expense associated with re-treatments, transmission, the selection of drug-resistant strains and complications due to improper adherence. Looking just at TB care in Kenya where we currently operate at scale, Keheala can save 1,500 lives and over 24 million dollars in wasted spending, annually.	Funders need to hold implementers more accountable to results and cost-effectiveness. Our value proposition offers better health outcomes and cost-savings. However, adoption is slow because Program Managers are not incentivized by their funders to either demonstrate better health outcomes or to save money. In fact, grant-financed organizations actually have an incentive to spend (ineffectively) as they are penalized the following year for any unspent grants. The major development funders are, in theory, held accountable by their tax-payers but these incentives do not get passed down the line. Keheala hopes to work with funders and policy makers on innovative financing mechanisms that overcome some of the misaligned incentives in order to maximize impact and cost-effectiveness.	# https://www.keheala.com/ https://www.dropbox.com/s/iupaoqq54o3yt64/EY_2019_Self-Verification_and_Support_to_Promote_TB_Treatment_Success.docx?dl=1 https://www.dropbox.com/s/1cjwlp59lfmjr1m/EY_2019_SI.pdf?dl=1	# http://www.tedxcambridge.com/talk/harnessing-reputations-to-inspire-altruism/ https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Fv8U9X8b_W3IIZnuEzzJQTzrqRS17sUc/view?usp=sharing https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B0FfDqyeQ5eTZ2xtaldrdGk4SFU/view?usp=sharing	Winner: New England Journal of Medicine Publication Teva Pharmaceutical's RISE Challenge 2017 World Lung Health Conference Abstract Presentation Pears Challenge for Developing World Innovations IsraAID 'Leap Frog Award Finalist: Sanofi's AfricaTech Challenge (2nd out of 220) UN's World Summit Awards (1 of 6 chosen to represent Israel) World Bank's TechEmerge Brazil 8200 Social Program MassChallenge

I am a YALI alumni of year 2018 and a current a finalist at Tony Elumelu Foundation year 2019 awaiting to be awarded a seed capital of $5000 to boost my innovative social business, a finalist at the one young world. I am currently the founder and executive director at Pearl Entrepreneurs Academy (PEA) and spearheading a sustainable renewal energy project and CEO and head of production at Eco-soap organics Uganda. I am a grantee of the pollination project year 2018, grantee of the McGinnity family foundation years 2018 and secured an equity grant from ENVenture enterprises Uganda.	Renewal Energy for Rural Ugandans	""The development of a low-cost solar lighting solution to disadvantaged households in rural eastern Uganda through a responsible and sustainable last	Goal 1. End poverty in all its forms everywhere \| Goal 7 Ensure access to affordable, reliable, sustainable and modern energy for all	Uganda	Yes	Enventure Enterprises Uganda, Grow movement Uganda and Wilmat development foundation	Transition to Scale	: We are currently implementing the solution on the ground and we are gaining strong positive traction from the potential beneficiaries (low income populations). After raising awareness for the past 2 years, we have managed to achieve our short term goals; we are now in the process of scaling so that our long term goals can be achieved. Which is to have an impact protect both the environment and people’s health to help them escape the poverty trap and carbon emissions.	Residents of rural communities use kerosene lamps for lighting their homes and businesses. Kerosene-based lighting is expensive, frequently causes fire outbreaks, emits unhealthy fumes and does not provide sufficient light for businesses to flourish or for school children to do their homework. Furthermore, kerosene emits significant amounts of CO2. The low-income population mostly uses firewood and charcoal on open fires to cook food for the household on a daily basis.	Pearl Entrepreneurs Academy provides last mile distribution and financing of clean energy products to the low-income population in both rural and urban areas that contribute to saving the environment, improving the health of the customer’s family and providing the means to escape the poverty trap. The following products are being offered: •Solar lanterns saving kerosene •Improved cookstoves saving 50% of the wood and charcoal in comparison to an open fire or local cookstove •Ceramics based water filters saving the costs and material for boiling water •Briquettes manufactured from recycled household waste that burn twice as long as charcoal at a similar price per kg Our long term vision is “we recognize renewal energy as a critical enabler for businesses to flourish education and envision countrywide access to clean energy technology for the Uganda’s deprived and under served”.	Pearl Entrepreneurs Academy designed and validated two innovative last mile sales and financing systems for the low income population. PEA uses two business model innovations: an affordable financing option (Group Installment Plan, GIP) and partnerships with Village Savings and Loans Associations (VSLAs) to scale distribution amongst the rural population and encourage the shift away from traditional kerosene lamps. Our affordable financing plan will make solar lanterns affordable to households living in rural Uganda. Customers will make an initial small deposit (of 3USD), and then they start making weekly payments of 2USD to spread the total cost over a 4-week period. This has reduced the upfront cash charge to customers by 10 times and based on our market research conducted our products are affordable for [>95%] of rural households we are targeting. We are approaching village savings and loans associations (VSLAs) consisting out of an average of 30 members. 80% of households in Mayuge are assumed to be in at least one VSLA group. These groups meet weekly to collect savings and provide loans to its members. VSLA’s enable PEA to efficiently educate potential customers about our products and provide basis financial literacy training for members to comprehend the savings potential. The customer can purchase the product and pay back in weekly installments not exceeding his or her weekly savings through the product.	As a team our aim is to build a profitable self‐sustaining social enterprise that accomplishes its predefined social goals and stakeholder interests. To scale we need investments from impact institutions that can provide advisory support and value-added knowledge that peal entrepreneurs academy needs. Our project is a social business and by charging an affordable price for each product, we ensure the sustainability of the business model. The strategy to beat our competitors is to provide low cost, high quality products and full customer support which include warranty and direct deliveries. Affordable prices will make our products accessible to a larger population than current solutions and customer support will increase brand loyalty in the market. We want to increase our product portfolio with i.e. solar powered field irrigation systems, household-bio gas plants, large solar system that can power television/ radio as requested by some customers We want to grow to other districts by both opening shops in other towns/ districts and by entering more commission-based partnerships with shops, NGO’s and trading centers operating in and across other districts.	Our major goal is to bringing solar energy to areas where current national grid infrastructure is limited or slows on the horizon particularly off-grid rural and semi-urban areas. We have also set out our implementation roadmap and we plan to start operation of new offices in the ten districts that make up Busoga region. PEA has been able to setup a direct sales network of well-trained 20 Village Savings and Loans Associations with each group consisting of 30 members on average. To-date; PEA has provided 100,000 people living in off grid communities in eastern Uganda access to affordable, clean, safe lighting, improved cooking, safe and clean drinking water by selling 5000 solar lights as an alternative to kerosene lanterns, 2500 improved cook stoves as an alternative to traditional three stone open fire cooking methods and 1500 water filters as an alternative to local pots and canisters. Our products have enabled off-grid households to save $1000 per year that could have been used to buy kerosene fuel for lighting, firewood and charcoal for cooking and medical bills to treat typhoid and other related diseases caused from contaminated drinking water. We also have a future target of replicating the idea around the country mainly in other rural areas were most people are of grid and lacking knowledge and skills found mostly in urban areas. Will go across borders in other countries were most low income population are lacking access to quality renewal energy products.	1.Human Resource and Training 2. Office and Furniture 3.

72	I am submitting a Solution to be considered for inclusion in UN Solutions Summit	Diane	Pruneau	Université de Moncton	www8.umoncton.ca/littoral-vie	professor	Woman	Canada	Canada	English \| French	In our research team, we use design thinking with community people and university students in order to accompany them while they look for sustainable solutions to environmental problems: climate change, plastics in sea water, water quality in cities, greening the university campus, etc. We have experience in helping people to find original and applicable solutions. I would like to attend the Summit to see what solutions other people create and I would be pleased to share our trials with design thinking in Morocco and Canada.	Doctor Diane Pruneau is Professor at the Université de Moncton, specialized in environmental education and science teaching. She is the Director of the Littoral et vie research group, that conducts various research projects and pedagogical interventions in environmental education. The research group’s objective is to educate adults and young people to environmental subjects to help them become aware of the state of their environment and to create and accomplish environmental actions. Dr Pruneau’s research programs have focused on people's relationships with their environment, education for sustainable cities, climate change education, environmental skills development, and the use of design thinking in environment.	Making compost and jewelry to adapt to climate change	Helped with design thinking and Facebook, Moroccan women adapted to floods with a waste recovery cooperative, whose products are jewelry and compost.	Goal 4. Ensure inclusive and equitable quality education and promote lifelong learning opportunities for all \| Goal 5. Achieve gender equality and empower all women and girls \| Goal 6. Ensure availability and sustainable management of water and sanitation for all \| Goal 8. Promote sustained, inclusive and sustainable economic growth, full and productive employment and decent work for all \| Goal 11. Make cities and human settlements inclusive, safe, resilient and sustainable \| Goal 13. Take urgent action to combat climate change and its impacts	Morocco	Yes	École Nationale Forestière d'Ingénieurs (Rabat), Centre de recherche et de développement international (Canada)	Scaling	In October 2017, a first exhibition of jewelry of the cooperative was organized in Rabat. The Regional Directorate of the Environment of the Marrakech-Safi region installed in women's houses a fast composter to help the cooperative to accelerate its production. In November 2017, the women took charge of their cooperative and registered by themselves at a local fair in Marrakech.	In the past, women stored food in the event of road closures because of the floods. They put plastic on the roof of their house to prevent water from seeping in. Some took refuge in the mountains. The floods caused drinking water problems as they destroyed the village water supply pipes. Condemned to consume the contaminated water of the wadi, the women filled plastic containers and waited for the suspended matter to settle to the bottom. This water made their families sick.	The lived experience has changed the way women manage drinking water and their garbage and those of their neighbors. They have carried out proactive and reactive adaptation measures to flood: better choose their water sources, better filter water, use an alarm system to warn other women of the emergence of a flood and reduce or recover solid waste transported by floods (to make compost and jewelry). They also have other adaptation ideas that they want to achieve: building water storage structures, treating well water with adequate amounts of chlorine, making neighbors aware of not throwing waste into the river, build solid pipelines, build wells away from the river and floodplains and filter the water before it arrives at the tap. The project has ecological, social and economic impacts in Ourika. The use of compost, hitherto unknown in this region, is likely to improve the quality of sandy soils. The recovery of garbage (leftovers of food and plastic bottles) will improve the quality of the water of the wadi and the beauty of the landscapes, an important element for tourist attendance. The creation of the women's cooperative will provide women with economic resources and financial independence. Because we initiated them to Facebook and the Internet, the project also contributes to the digital literacy of women and their families.	Design thinking, electronic tablets and Facebook were chosen as teaching aids to accompany the women with little schooling in the resolution of problems caused by the floods. Design thinking is a new collaborative way of working during which user needs analysis, abduction and rapid prototyping are put forward. Interventions with women took place over three years. Design thinking dictated the content of the workshops while electronic tablets and Facebook served as collaborative tools when women were at a distance. With videos and photos, the women shared their flood experience on Facebook and, with the help of the facilitators, resolved two sub-problems of the floods: drinking water and waste. These issues were co-defined in depth, with the facilitators regularly asking women questions to identify all aspects of these problems. In workshops and on Facebook, solutions to clean water and reduce local waste were proposed and prototyped. Water filters were built and shared on Facebook. The women conducted a domestic composting experiment to see if this activity was feasible to reduce local waste. They also created, shared and evaluated prototypes of jewelry made with discarded plastic bottles in their environment. The women started a women's cooperative specialized in waste recovery, whose products are jewelery and compost. The use of design thinking and with a technological tool (Facebook) is quite new for finding adaptations to climate change.	An analysis of the solutions proposed by women showed that the approach taken (design thinking + Facebook) has allowed women to collaborate for a broader definition of the water quality. The solutions proposed by women were considered varied, feasible and effective. Tablets and Facebook have proven easy to use by poorly educated people. Facebook has enabled the creation of a tight social network. Participants improved their awareness of the impacts of floods and waste. Their technological, environmental and geographic knowledge has grown, as have their problem-solving and communication skills. Their personality has evolved from an unscrupulous attitude to some confidence to improve their financial situation. Participating women have improved many of their capacities, including better management of their drinking water and household waste, responding to floods, using ICTs and conducting economic activities. They have also developed manual skills: knitting, composting, making jewelry and other items with recycled waste. They shared their environmental and technological learning in their respective communities. Their children used their tablets or helped them understand our Facebook posts.Thanks to our regular interventions (often daily), we believe that information about floods and the local environment has spread in their communities. Women finally say they have changed their attitudes to their future: many of them dream of going to school, getting a job and even a husband.	We are currently using design thinking and other technological tools (RealTime Board, Tinkercad, Knowledge Forum) with students in Canadian Universities for helping them to propose new solutions to local environmental problems. The problems actually addressed are arsenic pollution in a river, contamination of the drinking water in a city and greening a campus. While we make projects with the students, our research team study the strenght and limits of design thinking and of ICT for helping people to solve local problems. We are beginning a new project in Morocco: trying to diminish the quantity of plastic waste that goes in the Mediterranaen ocean. We want to continue our research with new environmental problems. We also want to train Canadian and Moroccan teachers to use design thinking and ICT with their students. We have written a pedagogical guide on design thinking and on the use of ICT in environmental problem solving. This guide will be distributed to teachers and future teachers in Canada and Morocco.	Short-term: money for printing the pedagogical guide and distributing it to the teachers and professors, money for helping the Moroccan women manage their cooperative (we want to develop their management skills) Medium-term: money for conducting our new project on plastics in Morocco (travel, material). Long-term: contact with people interested to experiment design thinking and ICT on environmental problems in other countries.

75	I am submitting a Solution to be considered for inclusion in UN Solutions Summit	Somtochukwu	Ugwu	Society for the Improvement of Rural People (SIRP)	https://www.sirpnigeria.org	Gender Head	Male	Nigeria	Nigeria	English	I am one youth that is committed to serving humanity and one way in which I am currently doing this is through the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The SDGs provide solutions to the various challenges facing humanity. I believe that together we will definitely achieve the SDGs by 2030. From the foregoing therefore, I recently came up with an innovative idea called Unskilled to Skilled (U2S), which caters for every unskilled and unemployed youth in Nigeria. Currently in Nigeria, 16 million youth are unemployed and this figure according to the Nigerian Bureau of Statistic (NBS) accounts for 23.1% of the youth population in Nigeria. This has led to an increase in the rate of youth restiveness and involvement in crime in Nigeria. U2S exists to tackle the foregoing issues. My motivation therefore for applying to attend this summit is to first of all share this innovative idea with the rest of the world. The UN solutions summit provides me with a platform for this. This summit also offers me with an opportunity to connect with other global innovators. I believe so much in partnerships and collaborations. A popular adage says “If you want to go fast go alone, if you want to go far go together”. This is the power of partnerships. Finally, I intend to take back whatever I must have learnt from this summit to my host community. Workshops and the social media will be particularly useful for such dissemination.	My name is Barrister Ugwu Somtochukwu I am a lawyer by profession. I am currently serving as the Gender Head/ Partnerships Officer of Society for the Improvement of Rural People (SIRP). SIRP is an NGO based in Nigeria, which is committed to addressing the various challenges facing various vulnerable groups in Nigeria. I am also the team leader of Unskilled to Skilled (U2S), which is a Youth Economic Empowerment (YEE) platform that is committed to reducing the youth unemployment rate here in Nigeria, which currently stands at 23.1%. I have gotten and won so many recognitions and awards for my work. Notable amongst them is the Unleash Talent Award 2019 and also being recognized as a global ambassador by RockFlower (US).

Promote peaceful and inclusive societies for sustainable development, provide access to justice for all and build effective, accountable and inclusive institutions at all levels	Nigeria	Yes	Enugu State Government, CubosWorld, RockFlower (US) and Rose academies (US)	Proof of Concept	U2S is at the stage of proof of concept. This is because we have tried it out albeit in a small scale and found out that it is a successful YEE model. In 2018, we raised 12,000 USD to implement a YEE project in Akwuke community of Enugu State, Nigeria. Every 120 USD donated ensured a year's training for 1 youth in the community. This total donation helped put 100 youth into the labour market in Nigeria, where they are currently thriving.	Currently 16 million youth are unemployed in Nigeria and this figure according to the Nigerian Bureau of Statistic (NBS) amounts to 23.1% of the youth population. This foregoing situation has translated into an increase in incidences of youth restiveness and involvement in crime. Many youth who have seen there is no way out of this situation, have resorted into a life of kidnapping, stealing, robbery, internet fraud, etc just to make ends meet. This is the problem U2S exists to solve.	Our proposed solution is pretty simple. U2S exists to use employment as a tool to reducing the high rate of youth restiveness and involvement in crime here in Nigeria. U2S uses an innovative YEE model in achieving this. At U2S, we are not just interested in training various unskilled and unemployed youth on various skills as other YEE models do. But we are also interested in ensuring that they find a place where they can put their skills to work, thereby leading to their financial independence. We achieve this by pairing up our trained beneficiaries with already established businesses here in Nigeria. At U2S, we define YEE as a process by which youth gain the ability not just to make decisions for themselves, but also for others around them. The foregoing definition has been guiding our activities here in Nigeria. We are currently seeing various youth who are now staying away from a life of crime simply because they are now gainfully employed. Our long term vision for global impact is to both grow U2S replicability and scalability wise. In the long term, we expect this model to be replicated in other countries of the World. We also expect to have grown in terms of beneficiaries. We intend in the long term to reach more than 20,000 unskilled and unemployed youth both in Nigeria and outside Nigeria. We also intend to register onto our platform more than 10,000 established entrepreneurs.	Currently in Nigeria, there are so many YEE models targeted at further reducing the rate of youth unemployment in Nigeria. Worthy of note is Industrial Training Fund (ITF) what they do is that they train various unemployed and unskilled youth in Nigeria on various vocational skills. Then at the end of the day, the trained beneficiaries are given sets of equipment in their trained fields to use to start up their own businesses. The challenge with the foregoing model is this. It has been discovered and sadly enough that when these beneficiaries are given these equipments that they usually sell it and use the money for something else, thereby eroding the great reasoning behind it. U2S is totally and clearly different from the foregoing YEE model as we carefully choose our beneficiaries. Our requirements are pretty simple you must be unskilled, unemployed, committed and willing to learn. Our beneficiaries are then trained on skills that they are passionate about. And which they will be willing to go into. At the end of the program, we then pair our trained beneficiaries with entrepreneurs already working and registered with us. This model has indeed proved efficient and effective over time.	U2S has so far gone beyond both the ideation and the research and development stage what we are in now is at the proof of concept stage. We are at the stage, where we intend to upscale our work to reach not just hundreds of various unskilled and unemployed youth, but thousands if not millions. Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E) is one key area of U2S work here in Nigeria. We strongly believe that if a project will not be effectively monitored and evaluated then there is no need to start such a project in the first place. In the foregoing regard, U2S uses basically two evaluation tools which have proven overtime to be most useful. This two evaluation tools are pre/post surveys which are normally given to our beneficiaries on a quarterly basis. Also, we use interviews to assess the impact of our program on beneficiaries. We conduct series of interviews with them to know what needs to be done to make the project better. So the foregoing two evaluation tools are what we use here at U2S. This activity is usually carried out by our M&E Officer Mrs Nnedi Nworah.	•To establish a large vocational centre here in Nigeria, where various unskilled and unemployed youth in Nigeria can be trained on various skills of their choice like baking, tailoring, hair-dressing, bag making, shoe making, coding etc by the end of 2020. •To recruit more members who will act as paid staff members, volunteers, trainers for U2S. We intend by the end of 2020 to have recruited more than 100 members. •To make sure that U2S is a YEE model, which is not only used in Nigeria, but also in more than 50 other countries of the world. We will be majorly targeting countries in the global south, where issues of youth unemployment are much predominant. We intend to achieve this by the end of 2022. •12,000 USD was raised in 2018 by U2S. This amount was used for the training of 100 unemployed youth (ages 18-30 years) in Akwuke community of Enugu State on various vocational skills. The cost of training one youth for a year in Nigeria is presently put at 120 USD. With additional funding and support, we intend by 2024 to reach more than 10,000 unskilled and unemployed youth. •In 2018, U2S partnered with 50 established entrepreneurs here in Nigeria. We intend to bring in more than 5000 established entrepreneurs into this platform, by the end of 2024.	•Short-term needs: Our short-term needs are actually with regards to improving our capacities with regards to this project. Knowledge they say is power. So we would love to be involved in so many capacity building workshops and sessions. Also, we need in the short-term an increase in our visibility. We intend to partner with various media organizations in this regard. We strongly believe in the power inherent in promotion. If a project is not adequately promoted then it is not known. In the short-term, we also need to build strong networks with other like-minded organizations, donors etc. We strongly believe in partnerships. A popular adage says “if you want to go fast go alone, if you want to go far go together”. •Medium-term needs: This will require a whole lot of funding because in the medium-term, we intend to establish a huge vocational centre here in Nigeria. Also, we intend to use these funds to pay the training fees of this youth in Nigeria. These funds will also go into the payment of staff salaries and other contingencies. •Long-term needs: Our long-term needs have to do with the sustainability of this solution. This is why going forward we intend to do two things. Firstly, we intend to start up a for-profit business. The profit gotten from this business will go directly into financing this initiative. Also, we intend with the agreement of our beneficiaries mandate them to pay a stipend monthly for the financial sustainability of this initiative.

Build resilient infrastructure, promote inclusive and sustainable industrialization and foster innovation \| Goal 10. Reduce inequality within and among countries \| Goal 16. Promote peaceful and inclusive societies for sustainable development, provide access to justice for all and build effective, accountable and inclusive institutions at all levels	Nigeria	Yes	Enugu State Government, CubosWorld, RockFlower (US) and Rose academies (US)	Proof of Concept	U2S is at the stage of proof of concept. This is because we have tried it out albeit in a small scale and found out that it is a successful YEE model. In 2018, we raised 12,000 USD to implement a YEE project in Akwuke community of Enugu State, Nigeria. Every 120 USD donated ensured a year's training for 1 youth in the community. This total donation helped put 100 youth into the labour market in Nigeria, where they are currently thriving.	Currently 16 million youth are unemployed in Nigeria and this figure according to the Nigerian Bureau of Statistic (NBS) amounts to 23.1% of the youth population. This foregoing situation has translated into an increase in incidences of youth restiveness and involvement in crime. Many youth who have seen there is no way out of this situation, have resorted into a life of kidnapping, stealing, robbery, internet fraud, etc just to make ends meet. This is the problem U2S exists to solve.	Our proposed solution is pretty simple. U2S exists to use employment as a tool to reducing the high rate of youth restiveness and involvement in crime here in Nigeria. U2S uses an innovative YEE model in achieving this. At U2S, we are not just interested in training various unskilled and unemployed youth on various skills as other YEE models do. But we are also interested in ensuring that they find a place where they can put their skills to work, thereby leading to their financial independence. We achieve this by pairing up our trained beneficiaries with already established businesses here in Nigeria. At U2S, we define YEE as a process by which youth gain the ability not just to make decisions for themselves, but also for others around them. The foregoing definition has been guiding our activities here in Nigeria. We are currently seeing various youth who are now staying away from a life of crime simply because they are now gainfully employed. Our long term vision for global impact is to both grow U2S replicability and scalability wise. In the long term, we expect this model to be replicated in other countries of the World. We also expect to have grown in terms of beneficiaries. We intend in the long term to reach more than 20,000 unskilled and unemployed youth both in Nigeria and outside Nigeria. We also intend to register onto our platform more than 10,000 established entrepreneurs.	Currently in Nigeria, there are so many YEE models targeted at further reducing the rate of youth unemployment in Nigeria. Worthy of note is Industrial Training Fund (ITF) what they do is that they train various unemployed and unskilled youth in Nigeria on various vocational skills. Then at the end of the day, the trained beneficiaries are given sets of equipment in their trained fields to use to start up their own businesses. The challenge with the foregoing model is this. It has been discovered and sadly enough that when these beneficiaries are given these equipments that they usually sell it and use the money for something else, thereby eroding the great reasoning behind it. U2S is totally and clearly different from the foregoing YEE model as we carefully choose our beneficiaries. Our requirements are pretty simple you must be unskilled, unemployed, committed and willing to learn. Our beneficiaries are then trained on skills that they are passionate about. And which they will be willing to go into. At the end of the program, we then pair our trained beneficiaries with entrepreneurs already working and registered with us. This model has indeed proved efficient and effective over time.	U2S has so far gone beyond both the ideation and the research and development stage what we are in now is at the proof of concept stage. We are at the stage, where we intend to upscale our work to reach not just hundreds of various unskilled and unemployed youth, but thousands if not millions. Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E) is one key area of U2S work here in Nigeria. We strongly believe that if a project will not be effectively monitored and evaluated then there is no need to start such a project in the first place. In the foregoing regard, U2S uses basically two evaluation tools which have proven overtime to be most useful. This two evaluation tools are pre/post surveys which are normally given to our beneficiaries on a quarterly basis. Also, we use interviews to assess the impact of our program on beneficiaries. We conduct series of interviews with them to know what needs to be done to make the project better. So the foregoing two evaluation tools are what we use here at U2S. This activity is usually carried out by our M&E Officer Mrs Nnedi Nworah.	•To establish a large vocational centre here in Nigeria, where various unskilled and unemployed youth in Nigeria can be trained on various skills of their choice like baking, tailoring, hair-dressing, bag making, shoe making, coding etc by the end of 2020. •To recruit more members who will act as paid staff members, volunteers, trainers for U2S. We intend by the end of 2020 to have recruited more than 100 members. •To make sure that U2S is a YEE model, which is not only used in Nigeria, but also in more than 50 other countries of the world. We will be majorly targeting countries in the global south, where issues of youth unemployment are much predominant. We intend to achieve this by the end of 2022. •12,000 USD was raised in 2018 by U2S. This amount was used for the training of 100 unemployed youth (ages 18-30 years) in Akwuke community of Enugu State on various vocational skills. The cost of training one youth for a year in Nigeria is presently put at 120 USD. With additional funding and support, we intend by 2024 to reach more than 10,000 unskilled and unemployed youth. •In 2018, U2S partnered with 50 established entrepreneurs here in Nigeria. We intend to bring in more than 5000 established entrepreneurs into this platform, by the end of 2024.	•Short-term needs: Our short-term needs are actually with regards to improving our capacities with regards to this project. Knowledge they say is power. So we would love to be involved in so many capacity building workshops and sessions. Also, we need in the short-term an increase in our visibility. We intend to partner with various media organizations in this regard. We strongly believe in the power inherent in promotion. If a project is not adequately promoted then it is not known. In the short-term, we also need to build strong networks with other like-minded organizations, donors etc. We strongly believe in partnerships. A popular adage says “if you want to go fast go alone, if you want to go far go together”. •Medium-term needs: This will require a whole lot of funding because in the medium-term, we intend to establish a huge vocational centre here in Nigeria. Also, we intend to use these funds to pay the training fees of this youth in Nigeria. These funds will also go into the payment of staff salaries and other contingencies. •Long-term needs: Our long-term needs have to do with the sustainability of this solution. This is why going forward we intend to do two things. Firstly, we intend to start up a for-profit business. The profit gotten from this business will go directly into financing this initiative. Also, we intend with the agreement of our beneficiaries mandate them to pay a stipend monthly for the financial sustainability of this initiative.

An employer of labor. I have been able to provide solutions challenges affecting my industry and had established the Prince Odenz Group of Companies. Made up of Fotoflash Ltd, Altraprint Ltd and Prince Odenz Estates. These provide innovative services. My concerns over work force attitude and societal challenges motivated me to seek solutions. First, in 2003, I instituted a study in partnership with Bayero University Kano, Nigeria, The study is concerned with bane of Africa underdevelopment, attitude and health concerns. The theme is Climatic and Environmental factors Affecting learning and Performance an International Survey. The study involve 91 countries.30 countries in Africa, and others in Europe and Asia. The findings reveal that climate and environment conditions contribute to health, attitude and economic performance. It also reveal that in Africa Malaria, Malnutrition, Heat stress, lack of Omega 3 /fish oil and diseases are implicated. This helped us to start a charity initiative that will provide solutions by providing sensitization to prospective mothers. The solutions will help solve maternal and child mortality issues. Thus provide empowerment and skill to have smart, healthy babies that have potential for peaceful, sustainable, inclusive and economic performance. By so doing have introduce an innovation that help provide vulnerable population better health as women and child right.

However it is designed for all prospective mothers in sub Sahara African countries where disease burden, malaria, poverty and limited heath care services exist	Yes	Federal Ministry of Health, Nigeria and Federal Ministry of Education, Office of Special Assistant to President on SDGs	Transition to Scale	My solution is to get newborn babies to be born healthy and intelligent (smart). The newborn should have high intelligence of up to 125 IQ points. World Health Organization define health as both physical and mental well being. Such potential is only possible when prospective mothers have maternal skill to deliver physical and mentally healthy babies. It will lead future society that meet SDGs 1, 3, 4, 8 and 16 target.	According to UNICEF every 2 minutes, a woman dies in childbirth and studies show maternal mortality rate is related to community economic output. Nutrition, disease burden and lifestyle are implicated. In sub-Sahara Africa, women are 136 times more likely to die than in developed countries. General Issues: poor quality care, absence of electricity, clean water, transportation, trained health professionals and interventions, limiting cultures, traditions and beliefs.	We provide 16 Smart Maternal Keys in a pictorial form which has been compiled. The Keys was launched 2017 in Nigeria and many are being trained. They were compiled from existing scientific knowledge to empower prospective mothers towards having newborn with healthy smart minds. In the skill, emphasis is on the most crucial construction stage - the -first 3 months into pregnancy. Preconception preparedness is much more about taking informed actions and responsibilities required prior to pregnancy. Pregnancy is like farming and building project that require all project management principles, but vulnerable African prospective mothers act based on chance, belief and culture.	It is simplified and handy in a pictorial form. Can be mounted at home. It is a skill just like any other skill women need to survive. It involve coaching with visual cues. Even health professionals are amazed at it. Below is the guiding principles. Lifestyle Adaptations - a. Micro-nutrients from fruits and vegetables b. Fish oil-unsaturated fatty acid c. Parental positive stimulation d. Antenatal care in health facility e. Baby handling and vaccinations Avoidance- Understanding indirect consequences of a. Plasmodium and malaria on unborn child brain development b. Infections and diseases on unborn child development c. Heat stress common in Africa on unborn child development d. Hazards posed by drugs, alcohol and emotional reactions on unborn child developing brain. We work to advance education in Maternal Skill for smarter newborn. The sensitization has high impact, it is sustainable and cost effective. The project educate mothers on environmental factors, adaptations and pregnancy strategies that enhance their maternal skill, newborn health and intelligence Currently women depend solely on health care centers.

(Few African women are able to have babies with great health and cognition) Issues from mother: hemorrhage, hypertensive disorders, serious infections etc Issues from newborn: infection (meningitis, pneumonia, and diarrhea), preterm birth. General Issues: poor quality care, absence of electricity, clean water, transportation, trained health professionals and interventions, limiting cultures, traditions and beliefs. INDICES: Maternal mortality ratio (modeled estimate, per 100,000 live births) – Nigeria reduced from 1350 in 1990 to 814 in 2015, Malawi increased from 157 in 1990 to 634 in 2015, Ghana reduced from 634 in 1990 to 319 in 2015 while Kenya reduced from 687 in 1990 to 5100 in 2015 (WHO, UNICEF, UNFPA, World Bank Group, and the United Nations Population Division. Trends in Maternal Mortality: 1990 to 2015. Geneva, World Health Organization, 2015) In low and middle income countries, 25% of pregnant women and 19% of new mothers also experience depression. This affects not only the mother’s health, but her ability to care for her child. Depressed women are 2.1 times more likely to give birth to a low birth weight infant. In childhood, stunting is increased by 40% among children of depressed mothers. Mothers deserve to smart maternal skill.

79	I am submitting a Solution to be considered for inclusion in UN Solutions Summit	Vincent	Ocen	Sugur Development Agency (SUDA)	https://sudasrt.org/	Executive Director	Male	Uganda	Uganda	English	My motivation for applying to be a part of the UN Solutions Summit (to present the Youth parliament project) is to share my experience of grassroots engagement in the implementation of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. Because we need effective collaboration between the public and private sector and civil society at local, regional and global scale. We need to create processes that generate engagement with the SDGs at the level of communities and bioregions everywhere. Only if local people will take responsibility for implementing the SDGs in their community and their region do we have a realistic change of accomplishing the audacious task set by Agenda 2030. To motivate such a commitment, we need people to understand the multiple benefits that will result from a successful implementation of all SDGs for their own lives, their families and communities, nations, and for humanity and the community of life as a whole. The future we want has to be co-created by us! I have used innovation for initiating projects for positive global impact. For instance, The Youth Parliament Project which enhances the capacities of Youth Council representatives and the civic youth leaders to influence and advocate for sustainable development by participating meaningfully in the local government decision making processes in Uganda. Project Video link: https://youtu.be/FrGMEVM4vIg This project employs the Community Youth Parliament platform that provides an inclusive opportunity to the youth council representatives and civic youth leaders to influence and advocate for the implementation and monitoring of sustainable development goals. It also serves as a social accountability tool by serving as an ‘informal’ platform for young people in the community to come together and articulate development issues that affect them and develop ideas for addressing their problems. The discussions during the sessions are informed by development challenges faced by the youth (e.g. unemployment, etc). For the local government duty bearers, this platform provides an outlet for the dissemination of information about new policies. This project uses the transformative approach of shaping consultation and dialogue processes between state and civil society in an action-oriented manner. It focuses on building the civil society capacities as constructive and inclusive dialogue partners of the state and enabling them to effectively claim their participatory rights.	Vincent Ocen is a self-driven, result oriented legal and Information Technology Sustainable Development actor with proven ability to work under multidisciplinary settings. He is the Global Youth Representative for Action for Sustainable Development Facilitation Group 2018-2020 and Executive Director for Sugur Development Agency (SUDA). His work mainly entails research, legal advocacy, facilitation, coordination and project management focused on development, governance and human rights policies. He is engaged in networking and cooperation with national and global civil society organizations and other development actors. He has participated and recognized in various regional and international events. For instance; The 2018 UN Global Festival of Action for Sustainable Development in Bonn Germany, Young African Leaders Initiative (YALI) in Nairobi, Kenya, Pan-African Debate Championship in Cape Town, South Africa, SDGs conference in Yaoundé, Cameroon, Youth Citizen Entrepreneurship Competition in Berlin Germany, Advocates for International Development Probono project among others. Furthermore, Vincent has 11 years of experience in the community development sector, specifically focusing on Civic rights, peace-building and Democratic governance. Holds Master of Arts in Human Rights, Globalization and Justice at Keele University -UK. In conclusion, Vincent is driven by his commitment to Social justice and sustainable development and one day he hopes to witness a Just, Peaceful and Democratic society in Uganda in particular and Africa in general.

The underlying principle for transformation in this project is shaping consultation and dialogue processes between the state and civil society in an action-oriented manner. The solution focuses on building the civil society capacities as constructive and inclusive dialogue partners of the state and enabling them to effectively claim their participatory rights.	Despite their high numbers, the youth face challenges in participating in decision-making, planning and budgeting processes. Therefore, they are excluded from the implementation of government programmes at the local government level because their representative body per law, the Youth Councils are not effectively and efficiently performing their duties. Addressing inequality and the social exclusion of particular groups of young people is a big challenge within the youth sector.	Addressing inequality and the social exclusion of particular groups of young people is a big challenge within the youth sector, even for youth organizations. Creative mechanisms, such as the use of community youth parliament platform, must always be prioritized and reviewed. Harnessing the potential of new and social media tools to improve access to information and expand space for civic engagement is equally vital to improving youth participation. The cost of non-participation is high because the youth will fall through the cracks of the government programs and policies. The project employs the Community Youth Parliament platform that provides an inclusive opportunity to the youth leaders to participate in decision making processes in order to influence and advocate for the implementation and monitoring of SDGs. This platform serves as a social accountability tool for young people in the community to come together and articulate development issues that affect them and develop ideas for addressing their problems.

The project implementation team developed a strategy as a basis for the campaign to empower the youth to meaningfully participate in the local government consultation and decision-making processes. The strategy involves the use of different methodologies such as training, organizing the project orientation meeting with stakeholders, use of Community Youth Parliament and the design and distribution of Information, Education and Communication (IEC) materials. The project facilitates youth access to information on their right to participate in the decision making, local government budgeting and planning processes, accountability and resource mobilization.

The issues raised by the youth during the discussions are forwarded by SUDA in collaboration with the district Youth Councils to the Sub-county authorities, District Local Government councils, the district sectoral committees, the National Youth Council and to the Uganda Parliamentary Forum on Youth Affairs (UPFYA) for follow-up action. SUDA collaborates and networks with the different stakeholders such as youth led CBOs, Amuria CSO network, district departmental heads, political leaders, school authorities, religious leaders, women led organizations and lower Local Governments to ensure ownership and sustainability of the project. The project monitoring and evaluation is done continuously with the view of measuring the progress of the project implementation and the reports are shared with partners.	Planned Goals; To empower the youths to promote Peaceful and Inclusive societies for sustainable development. To raise citizens who shall be the necessary human and intellectual capital to foster Sustainable development in Uganda. Planned Milestones; Develop a strategy for implementing a campaign aimed at increasing youth participation in governance and decision-making processes in Amuria district, Uganda Prepare and disseminate Information, Education and Communication (IEC) materials (i.e. 1500 pocket hand books, 800 posters and 200 t/shirts).

We have developed and successfully piloted models for commercial scale recycling of municipal waste into tradable commodities that include; a) fuel briquettes; b) organic fertilizers; c) biocides/disinfectants; d) ornaments/crafts; e) building materials such as bricks and pavers. The rationale is to apply socio-economic incentives to engage diverse stakeholders in activities related to environmental sustainability and municipal sanitation. In so doing, private capital is optimized to supplement resources of local governments for service delivery and environmental preservation. The projects are anchored in educational institutions to engage youths (who constitute over 75% of the population in Uganda). Stakeholder engagement is done via; a) innovative Information, Education and communication (IEC) programs; b) demonstration of technical and business models for Resource Recovery and Reuse (RRR) to incentivize stakeholders; c) creation of platforms and forums for inter-sector linkages and partnerships; d) provision of research-based evidence for developing supportive policies and institutional frameworks for RRR.

It has also attracted admiration of many innovators during national and international exhibitions; including awards won within the country and outside.	a) Depletion of forests to provide cooking and heating fuel to 95% of the population in Uganda use charcoal and firewood for cooking; b) poor management of municipal waste polluting air, land and water bodies; causing diseases. Out of 90,000 tons of solid waste generated monthly in Kampala city, only 40 % is collected and delivered to landfills; c) Reclamation of wetlands, national parks and forest areas for farming destroys the ecosystem that supports life; d) depletion of soil nutrients.	Demonstrating factory-scale recycling of municipal waste into tradable commodities incentivizes stakeholders to engage in environmental sustainability. It is done via; a) IEC programs; b) training; c) partnerships; d) policy and institutional frameworks. The project promotes adaptive capacity within communities to identify locally-appropriate remedies; optimizing local resources. Institution and community based capacity building include; competitive activities, award ceremonies; exhibitions and green-expos, radio and television talk shows, seminars and trade-shows. Capacity building is aligned with existing socio-cultural attributes that optimize resilient sociocultural fabrics such as social cohesion, group consensus; communal decision-making, communal ownership and social capital. Social norming is specifically promoted through Educational entertainment (Edutainment). The project also makes use of IK-based survival instincts among the communities. It promotes keen and accurate detection of signs of impending disasters such as city floods and epidemics. The circular economic models reflected in this project could be replicated to support environmental sustainability as a guiding principle nationally and globally. Waste management is transformed; from collection and disposal models to processing and commodification to support livelihoods. Innovative knowledge and skills are applied through hands-on activities to address local needs; using local resources.	While waste recycling technologies have existed for long, operations have not impacted on livelihoods and environment conservation because of; a) lack of public awareness of prospects of recycling; b) Inadequate technical skills; c) Health-risk perceptions; d) inadequate business and managerial skills; g) Inadequate capital for start-up and/or up-scaling; h) Non-supportive policy environment and lack of an institutional frameworks; i) Absence of factory-scale production which make operations none sustainable. To solve the above, training and awareness creation programs have been undertaken to popularise waste recycling. The programs have also focused on addressing cultural and psycho-social sensitivities associated with reuse of products recycled from bio-waste; especially the human feacal matter. Stakeholder collaborations have been undertaken to overcome some of the challenges of isolated operations. In this respect, platforms have been created to promote inter-sectoral linkages via conferences where Academicians, public and private sector agencies converge. The latter comprise of civil society organizations, industrialists and private service providers. Commercialization and business models have also been introduced to attract private capital into recycling operations. This supplements governments’ inadequate resources for service delivery. Models of waste management have been transformed from collection and disposal to processing and commodification.	Structures have been developed in Ndejje University (NDU) fabric to link teaching, research and community outreach through interdis¬ciplinary project development. Five research and development centers were created in areas of; 1) Energy; 2) Water; 3) Agriculture; 4) business incubation and 5) NDU holds exhibitions to demonstrate RRR best practices to communities, public and private agencies. Using the Block-placement initiatives students (supervised by staff) are placed in urban and rural areas near the university campuses to integrate with communities and civil society organizations and get used to patterns and work-schedules of the world outside the university. They identify solvable issues within communities, learn from them and get opportunity to diffuse social and technological innovations Joint workshops, seminars and projects involving natural sciences, social sciences, humanities and communicational sciences are conducted to; a) integrate knowledge and complementarity; b) to transfer knowledge and; c) to organically link the Food, Energy, Water and Ecosystem (FEWE) nexus. Progress is assessed through; a) new products and solutions that are rolled out to communities on a regular basis; b) prizes and medals won nationally and globally; c) easiness by which NDU graduates get employed or start up enterprises; d) ability by students and staff of diverse faculties to undertake joint projects; e) joint ventures between NDU community and external agencies	Community-based Waste Recycling Units (COWARU) will be formulated to undertake RRR. Besides generating income, COWARU will be principle change agents to promote and sustain desirable behavior and practices. Through training, a critical mass of water and sanitation corps will be developed to promote and sustain adherence to sustainable practices. Ultimately, the problem faced by local authorities (of enforcing compliance to good practices) could be reduced. Participatory processes will be used to develop manageable and sustainable and community-driven plans. Multidisciplinary teams of RRR professions and educators will offer training and managerial consultancies. Start-up and scale-up financial facilities will be coordinated for the following specialized activities; i) Waste collection, sorting and carbonization; ii) supply of the biochar to briquettes producers; iii) production of briquettes; iv) packaging, branding, marketing of briquettes; v) producing fertilizers, biocides and disinfectants from biochar and briquettes ash. Conceptually, 90,000+ tons of waste generated monthly in Kampala city alone will be enough to produce 10,800 tons of briquettes; potentially generating $2,376,000; providing jobs to 200,000+ urban dwellers. More jobs will be created in production of fertilizers, disinfectants, crafts, ornaments and pavers. In this Circular Economy, domestic and agro-industrial waste will be translated into scalable opportunities for grassroots urban communities.	Short term; 1. Conduct community participatory workshops to conceptualise; a) environmental sustainability issues; i) real and perceived causes of climate change variability (CCV); ii) reducing incidences of CCV; iii) coping with CCV; possible mitigation measures iv) effects of CCV; v) consequences of inaction; vi); Human and financial resources for taking action. 2. finances to Produce IEC materials on CCV focusing on; a) challenges/issues, causes, manifestations, indicators, effects, remedies; b) mitigation measures and adaptation; ii) institutional and community-based training programs 3.

82	I am submitting a Solution to be considered for inclusion in UN Solutions Summit	Russell	Collins	Himalayan Rocket Stove Pvt Ltd	www.himalayanrocketstove.com	Managing Director	Male	Australia	Australia	English	Over the last five years I have been focussed on developing clean burning, high efficiency combustion heating for the Himalayan belt. This has lead to the creation of several combustion heaters which are made and sold through the Himalayan Rocket Stove company in India. As a result of this work, I also developed a zero cost smokeless cookstove solution, and set up an NGO in India called the Smokeless Cookstove Foundation, which is currently run by Nitisha Agrawal. I am now working with IIT Mandi in India to roll out biomass pellet fuels for thermal space heating, which has not previously been done in India. In addition I am also developing a low cost waste incineration solution that will reduce the health impacts of poorly disposed plastic waste in regions without viable collection facilities. My exposure to clean biomass combustion technology has convinced me that this is a crucial part of the mix of energy solutions for heating, cooking and waste disposal, as well as other solutions as well. I would like to leverage my understanding of this solution in the Indian context to a wider audience.	I have been travelling and working in the Indian Himalayas since 1992, initially in eco-travel where I coordinated a range of eco projects and educational programs. During this period I witnessed first hand the impact of climate change in the Himalayas. I have been committed to environmental work since my days at university as a member of Friends of the Earth from 1989. My work in India is now focussed on clean combustion technology. I have previously worked on projects that involved remote region solar pumping, solar passive building in the Himalayas, and from 2004 to 2015 I coordinated and ran an annual eco educational tour for children from Spiti Valley to Ladakh. I now split my life and work between Australia (where I am currently setting up my new venture, Rocket Man Designs) and India (where I am the Managing Director for the social enterprise, Himalayan Rocket Stove).	Himalayan Rocket Stove	Bringing clean and efficient biomass combustion heating to the Himalayas and beyond.	Goal 7 Ensure access to affordable, reliable, sustainable and modern energy for all \| Goal 12. Ensure sustainable consumption and production patterns \| Goal 13. Take urgent action to combat climate change and its impacts \| Goal 15. Protect, restore and promote sustainable use of terrestrial ecosystems, sustainably manage forests, combat desertification, and halt and reverse land degradation and halt biodiversity loss	India, Nepal and Bhutan currently, with potential to expand.	Yes	IIT Mandi and HP Govt, India	Scaling	We are entering our 3rd season of sales (which occur through the winter months) with an expected 5x growth in reach and revenue. Our growth from first to second season was 3x in revenue, and we were capped due to lack of funds for production, with market demand exceeding our capacity to produce. We have rectified this with a production loan that allows us to make and distribute sufficient stock to our outlets.	Fuel demand for heating in the winter months is a pressing issue that is leading to deforestation and air pollution, as well as drudgery for the householders (often the women). There are 20 million homes across the Himalayan belt (from north to NE India, including Nepal and Bhutan) of which the vast majority need heat for approx half the year as a survival necessity. The average household fuel demand is approx 1000kg wood per year. The combustion of this wood releases 3.5 tons of CO2 per year.	In its simplest form, our combustion heaters look and feel like a standard room heating device that can also be used for cooking on. Internally they use dual chamber high temperature combustion to burn smoke, thereby releasing additional heat, and dramatically reducing pollutants released to the air. The fuel savings in this format is approx 50% and smoke reduction an estimated 90%. In the new format we are introducing this year, we will include the option to burn biomass chillets and pellets made with pine needles that are an abundantly available biomass fuel source that is just now being developed by IIT Mandi. This will reduce demand on forestry by 100% and offers a range of benefits including reduced drudgery and reduced pollution (the pine needles are often burnt off to get rid of them as they are considered a menace in the slopes of the Himalayas.) We also add functionality with our modular design, and have now introduced hot water heating from waste heat in the exhaust flue, which will improve on family health outcomes due to improved hygiene. Safety heat panels, glass fire door for improved fuel management are also available as options. Phone charging and a range of oven cooking attachments are in development. We have had requests to set up production in other regions such as Chile, Mongolia and Tibet, and it is clear there is a global demand for high efficiency combustion heating. Our vision is to scale to meet this demand.	There are plenty of products in the improved cookstove space, but there are none in the improved heating space other than ours in the Himalayan belt, and seemingly none globally that can match our price and functionality. Using the efficiencies of mass production using CNC machine technology we can make a product range that is both high quality and low cost that offers an expanding range of functionality due to the modular design ethos.	We spent 12 months doing in-depth prototyping and field trials from mid 2016 to 2017 in the high mountain region of Ladakh. Based on the feedback from this period, we redesigned and entered production phase late 2017. We have been through 2 cycles of commercial sales and have sold 750 units since then. The feedback has been overwhelmingly positive, and any issues are being addressed in a case by case manner. As a social enterprise, we are keen to measure more than just commercial figures, and we are setting up processes to also measure social and environmental data. We conducted a post season user survey this year with 50 responses.	We are in the process of opening up new regions across the Himalayan belt, including Nepal and Bhutan, as well as the NE regions of India. We are actively recruiting and have just taken on 2 extra female staff at our showroom and warehouse location in Parwanoo, near to Chandigarh. At this stage we are fully engaged in dealing with the demand from these regions, but we are getting regular queries and requests from other parts of the world. As we become more financially viable, we will set up an international development team who will be tasked with setting up local production and distribution in various other regions. We have requests to do this in Mongolia, Chile and Tibet at this stage. We are also working on new product lines, including low cost waste incineration for regional areas with waste to usable heat as the criteria for this. Our mission statement is to save 1 million trees over the 10 years from 2017. For each stove in use we save approx 1000kg per year, equivalent to one mature Himalayan tree per year per stove in use. Based on a calculation of tripling our market each year for that period we will come very close to achieving this, even without Govt subsidies. With subsidies, we will achieve this goal much sooner. Each tree of 1000kg abates 3.5 tons of CO2, so in 10 years we would hope to contribute 35 million tons of CO2 abatement in the Himalayan belt alone.	We have just recently scaled our production and warehousing capacity to deal with the immediate increase in demand. In the short term we are hoping to double our team size and train up juniors to expand our ability to deal with the increased volume of sales. Over the coming 2-3 years we plan to develop a range of flagship stores across the Himalayan belt with supply and service functionality. These will also feature a new concept we are calling the Himalayan Eco Store, where we will showcase and feature a range of products from various suppliers that meet 2 basic criteria, they should be good for the Earth, and suitable for a Himalayan market. Over the 3-5 year period we will need to set up production capacity in new regions so as to distribute the load and shorten the distribution networks to localised regions. In terms of needs, we are looking to raise funds and bring on board talent that will facilitate this.

We have also secure basic equipment for the production in small amount for the start of scaling. Mela Protects Sunscreen is going through series of testing to confirm it suitability to the use and the environment.	Every year, at least 5 persons with albinism die of skin cancer and over 50% out of 135 participants in a survey complained of various skin problems in Ghana. Persons with Albinism find it very difficult to buy sunscreen due to high cost of these products which can only be found in super markets Ghana has over 6 hours of sunshine which is dangerous to the skin of persons with albinism. As a result person with albinism need constant supply of Sunscreen to survive under this condition.	Mela Protects Sunscreen is a product from local Shea butter produced by persons with albinism in Ghana. This product is to be used by persons with albinism to Protect them from the UV Ray's of the sun to prevent skin damage which lead to skin cancer. Persons with Albinism would be trained to produce this cream hence providing sustainable employment to them. The product is a life saving one and it meant to reduce the prevalence of skin cancer..	The solution is very unique in the following ways 1. The use of local raw material such as Shea butter and coconut oil 2. It's affordable and readily available to the user 3.shea butter is widely used in Ghana and the west African subregion 4.

84	I am submitting a Solution to be considered for inclusion in UN Solutions Summit	Chiara Felicia Gabrielle	Amisola	Developh	https://developh.org	Founder & CEO	Female	Philippines	Philippines	English	Technology in the developing world is moving in the wrong direction, and I want my generation to be the one to bridge issues in technology and society before it’s too late. When digital penetration is at an all-time high with radicalization and hate speech being widespread and democracy being undermined -- with many tech leaders only developing for a minority, there’s an issue with the way we’re approaching development and technology; and this isn’t only a case in the Philippines, it’s universal. As part of the first generation growing up with a childhood molded by tech, growing to see the world around me shaped by new innovation that have changed our world today: we’ve defied expectations - worked against tech, challenging norms to instead invest in social good, to invest in people, and to invest in tech that is inclusive, diverse, and empathetic -- what’s necessary in this world. Being part of the UN Solutions Summit would mean I voice out my work with my global nonprofit I’ve grown since 16: redefining how we look at technology and how the next generation enters into it. My nonprofit invests in youth-led innovation for social good - impacting over 70,000 youth in the past three years through offline/online programs, teaching with social good at the center. My work seeks to catalyze innovation for social good by redefining the technology pipeline in developing countries -- giving every youth the opportunity to explore tech by breaking down entry barriers and supporting them actively from outreach to building. We’ve witnessed 70% participation from gender minorities and LGBTQ youth; with 700+ student members that regularly engage and get the opportunity to be supported and retained in the pipeline as they explore technology while building for impact. We’ve seen ventures disrupting civic engagement, mental wellness, education, and poverty -- coming up with unique solutions driven from the worlds they come from. When we empower a diverse generation to be the founders of not only tomorrow, but today - we’re not only paving the way for more technologists -- we’re actively bringing change, impact, and numbers in the space that needs it most. We’re operating differently from accelerators & incubators. We’re student-driven, and we know that students can change the world from their bedrooms - we’re making it happen today, and the world needs to know that and see that innovation comes from the most unexpected places.	Chiara Amisola is a nineteen-year-old founder, activist, software engineer, designer, and Computer Science student at Yale University from Manila, Philippines. She’s the Founder & CEO of Developh, a global nonprofit investing in youth-led innovation for social good across the developing world; seeking to nurture the student founder community and break entry barriers to tech through education and accelerator opportunities to bridge the innovation gap. Since 2016, the organization has impacted over 70,000 youth in offline and online programs. From being born in the slums of Tondo, Manila to discovering code at the age of six: she began building websites, writing, and creating at an early age. She delved into the Philippine startup industry from its boom around 2013 - touching into several social good sectors and building Batid, a civic engagement and digital humanitarianism tool that sought to inform and secure public citizens in an increasingly authoritarian regime. Later, she built Iboto.ph, a voter education tool that engaged over 5 million Filipinos for the 2019 midterm elections. Chiara was recognized as the Student of Vision at the Grace Hopper Celebration of Computing, the world’s largest women in technology conference in 2018 - the youngest to speak on the celebration’s keynote stage. She has gained recognition from the Microsoft Imagine Cup, Philippine Department of Science and Technology, and more. She seeks to explore computational justice while accelerating innovation that matters - empowering student founders who will change the world.

We’re mainly operating in the Philippines here and seek to gain further international executive leadership to help champion the growth of our tech programs	Technology gap in developing countries. Outside of resource and education, the gap in retention (high school) for students to pursue tech/adjacent fields. The Philippine founder ecosystem has minimal student representation, several gaps in government “technology business incubators” to actual student communities (i.e. no student feedback or metrics collected), and a minimal percent of student projects are built on despite resource allocation and funding.	Developh is unique in the sense that we’re by-students, for-students: and that we create a sustainable model where students are empowered to explore innovation with the foundations of technology and social impact models to do so; have the opportunity to engage in diverse national dialogues and form teams that are more reflective of the problem they want to build for; gain access to career and mentorship opportunities to explore technology and their own capacity for impact in tech as they are educated + tangibly work in the scene - especially in startups; and have their products (whether a full-blown startup/business venture or a social good project with measurable impact) put into fruition. We’re fostering a returning community of youth who will later champion development in their region, fill in several entry gaps that current incubators/accelerators/institutions do not address and are not binded by anything, and have more results. We release more impactful projects: from side hustles turned ventures to engaging multimedia projects that influence hundreds of thousands of people. Long-term, we want to employ our model in other developing countries to create a self-sustaining founder ecosystem in areas that are relatively behind Silicon Valley. We believe that this student-driven nonprofit model can change the way we interact with products in terms of purpose. Our vision is to have more diverse founders and more tech for social good.	As mentioned, Developh is by-students, for-students. We’re heavily powered by community and the data points that we gather from knowing what students truly need to learn, want to build for, and what sectors of technology they want to engage in. Next, we’re an impactful platform open to diverse collaborations: from acting as a recruiting pipeline for corporations while empowering underserved youth from traditionally underrepresented and marginalized communities, to working with different incubators/accelerators/causes to reach out over different nations - addressing timely and relevant needs, while engaging students long after the fact. We’re not another group dropping money and running off; we’re not just building solutions hacked together by people not invested in their problem. We’re working with students who build solutions molded by necessity and experience that are worked in-and-out, we’re working to sustain engagement and get students excited about technology and explore countless potential pathways, and we work ethically + meaningfully - engaging in progressive spaces and building for what the world needs.	We work with a lot of data: from working with people in the education and business sector to see how to outreach, to constantly expanding + evolving our curriculum when we accelerate ventures and projects under our innovation programs. Our core metrics: 1.) students exploring technological fields (interning, high school students entering STEAM courses, conference delegations; the representation numbers from those), and then 2.) the impact of accelerated products -- whether startups or one-off engagement projects like websites or iOS applications. Our model is always in the works and shifting (such as our education curriculum when we outreach to underserved areas), but we have a 100+ strong network of mentors internationally for our programs like talks, webinars, and accelerator for office hours; run an open-source education initiative with dozens of materials for our community to use; maintain relationships with different spaces and institutions to run programs and activities, etc.	Projecting to reach 150,000 students through offline/online programs by the 1st quarter of 2020 -- through talks, webinars, engagement materials, partnering with other communities such as technology/entrepreneurship/design-adjacent clubs who engage with our materials Expand Developh to Indonesia (at least 10 school presence there), and reach out to 200 schools in the Philippines by the 1st quarter of 2020 (currently 80 high schools/colleges) where we source student talent/members from Incubate 10 ventures with a demonstrated impact report (at least in the implementation/validation stage with working prototypes) by the 1st quarter of 2020	Short-term More youth champion contacts to work on community/career development programs around the region and to sustain impact Funds for offline programming such as outreaches (tours around underserved regions of where we operate) Medium-term Further resources to maintain the capacity of our organization (mailing lists, messaging groups, career boards, opportunity sharing lists, etc.) -- such as mass organizational tools as we hit thousands and thousands of actively-engaged members Long-term Impact investment fund to identify, scout, and work with existing + proven mission-based organizations for our social good accelerator; and for heavily promising teams for our ventures fund Developed curriculum in partnership with institutions, especially technology business incubators; also explore policy to further solidify these partnerships and our view of development starting from educational institutions	Short-term More youth champion contacts to work on community/career development programs around the region and to sustain impact Funds for offline programming such as outreaches (tours around underserved regions of where we operate) Better analytics and survey materials to collect more data about the youth we work with and their needs; and also to perform ecosystem mapping and gain massive insights + anecdotes per region Medium-term Further resources to maintain the capacity of our organization (mailing lists, messaging groups, career boards, opportunity sharing lists, etc.) -- such as mass organizational tools as we hit thousands and thousands of actively-engaged members Industry partnerships with groups working with underserved and more marginalized communities (i.e. homes for abandoned children) to work with student groups without formal schooling Long-term Impact investment fund to identify, scout, and work with existing + proven mission-based organizations for our social good accelerator; and for heavily promising teams for our ventures fund Developed curriculum in partnership with institutions, especially technology business incubators; also explore policy to further solidify these partnerships and our view of development starting from educational institutions	https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o7QO0VRTDUE&t=1s	Microsoft Imagine Cup Philippines (Finalist) Global Teen Leader 2019 (Winner) AnitaB.org Student of Vision 2018 (Winner)

The project goal is to develop and implement a sustainable land use model through reducing deforestation and degradation, ecosystem restoration and increasing economic opportunities. The project is designed to achieve: 1. Climate: to deliver credible GHG emission reduction through avoided deforestation & forest degradation 2. Community: To enhance the quality of life, reduce poverty by creating sustainable livelihoods 3. Biodiversity: To eliminate drivers of deforestation and forest degradation	The project prevents the conversion of the forest area to fast-growing industrial timber plantation by having obtained full legal control of the production forest area through ecosystem restoration concession license. The project implements a variety of activities through a holistic approach in order to achieve its objectives. All activities are implemented with full consideration of internationally credible science and standards, conservation priorities, Indonesian laws and regulations, land tenure, socio-economic needs, and community consultation based on free, prior and informed consent principles. The project aims to bring positive change over the next 60 years by conserving the integrity of remaining peat swamp forest, and by playing a crucial role for Indonesia as it sets out to fulfil its emission reduction commitments in the years ahead.	Our project runs a community development program across 34 villages to encourage people to take part in the development of ecosystem restoration plans. The program optimises benefits for the local communities that are expected to have an impact on increasing the income of the target groups. This could eventually reduce activities which are not environmentally-friendly and will contribute to poverty reduction. In cooperation with communities, the project use three principles: responsibility, transparency and equity.

We positively impact the world by providing education to everyone without discrimination and despite their background.	Austine Wisley Ngabwe is a refugee from the Democratic Republic of Congo who lives in Nairobi, Kenya. He is one of the founder members of Christ's Victory Centre, which aims to provide hope to the hopeless through an economic empowerment program for women and youth who lack formal employment. His mission is to empower beneficiaries to be personally responsible for future successes. Austine runs an Education Centre for refugees, where he nurtures and mentors young people and women, and promotes menstrual hygiene by ensuring regular supply of sanitary towels to girls.	REFUGEE CONTEST	The trauma that often precedes a refugee	Goal 1. End poverty in all its forms everywhere \| Goal 4. Ensure inclusive and equitable quality education and promote lifelong learning opportunities for all	Kenya	No		Proof of Concept	Our solution is at the proof of concept stage because it is already in action. This means that the idea has already been proven to be feasible due to the fact that we have been able to implement it and has shown progress over the years. We have managed to educate refugees and have provided them with a path to higher education.	Our solution addresses goals number 1 and 2.We educate refugees,children that come from families that are not well off and adults who wish to learn English. This helps solve goal 1 in that education helps in eradicating poverty. It opens doors to various opportunities in terms of employment. The solution is also relevant to goal 4 because it provides quality education to all genders.	Our solution entails ensuring refugees that seek asylum in Kenya are able to get quality education despite facing the hardships that come with relocating to a new country under such circumstances. This, coupled with educating the locals who are not well off meets our vision to make education available to everyone without any discrimination. Our ultimate goal is to positively impact the lives of everyone we educate by giving them a chance of having a brighter future. We envision expanding and accommodating people from all over the world that need our help thereby making the world a better place not just for a few people but for everyone.	This solution is unique in that, we, the pioneers are also refugees and therefore understand the challenges involved in living in a host country. Such challenges include language barriers, trauma, the difference in culture, the change in the education system and having to start afresh.Our methodology involves sharing our experience which enables us to better deal with the refugees and our stories act as a testament that things do indeed get better.	Our solution has been in progress for 10 years and over that period of time, the number of students we host has been gradually increasing . We measure our progress by the number of lives we have managed to positively alter. An example is having a huge number of the adults who were in our English classes getting jobs and others starting their own businesses. In those years,we have also managed to form a women's group that helps in integrating the female refugees and some locals who are not well off into the society.	Our number 1 goal is to buy a piece of land in which we can expand our school. We aim to provide better infrastructure and accommodate more students, both refugees and locals.	Our short term needs include getting more stationery, purchasing new uniforms for the students and providing food for them while at school. Empowering/training teachers and women in our women's group via workshops is our medium-term need.Lastly, our long-term needs include getting a proper and stable water supply,purchasing a piece of land and finally constructing a modern school.	https://cvckenya.wordpress.com/about/ https://www.facebook.com/cvckenya/?ref=br_rs	https://www.facebook.com/cvckenya/videos/338462626759666/

Compounding this situation is the fact that most those living in or near poverty lack even the most basic banking services. Effective tools for saving, sending, and borrowing money and mitigating financial risks can help people weather setbacks and achieve greater financial stability over the long term. Most poor households operate almost entirely in the cash economy. This means they use cash, physical assets or informal providers (such as money lenders) to meet their financial needs—from receiving wages to saving money. However, these informal mechanisms can be insecure, expensive, and complicated to use. And they offer limited recourse when a major problem arises, such as a serious illness in the family. ftcash is converting cash to digital payments thereby creating unique transaction history which didn't exist earlier. We provide preapproved advances/loans which can be disbursed at the click of a button and which can be uniquely paid back from their daily transactions, something like a daily EMI. While the proliferation of WhatsApp and Facebook has transcended from metros to cities and even villages we believe ftcash will be the enabler for them to accept electronic payments and access to institutional finance. We believe that it's time ""The Missing Middle"" comes of age and gets access to better health, education, and nutrition through financial inclusion. As most large corporates and banks compete to deliver financial services, ftcash captures a formally ignored market like the micro-merchants. ftcash creates a simpler way to access the payments into their bank accounts and make transactions in a faster, more convenient manner. ftcash enables that financial inclusion provides social and economic justice to these underserved communities. Improved cash flows, better cash management and purchasing ability provides a base of a just society. UN Solutions Summit is the new age of connected intelligence creates unlimited opportunities for anyone. It is a springboard to get inspired and transform ideas into action. It is a crowdsourcing innovation engine where we draw ourselves to the edges to drive solutions to rather difficult social problems. Being a participant can provide a right platform to highlight some of the work we are doing and connecting with the right minds who are working to solve world problems through innovation.

India has 60+ million micro-merchants and small businesses but less than 4% of these merchants have access to capital. These merchants are never catered by the banks and NBFCs as they do not have any credit history or collateral.

91	I am submitting a Solution to be considered for inclusion in UN Solutions Summit	Avinash	Bansal	Leaf Innovation Pvt Ltd	https://leafwearables.com	CTO	Male	India	India	English	We have a vision to provide safety to 1 billion people by 2022. UN is an organization that has the potential to create global impact, brings together people of different countries and beliefs on a common platform. We also at SAFER infra wants to create a global impact with our innovation to bring a positive change. We are a safety tech company providing on-demand safety infrastructure to mobile (eCommerce and food delivery partners, cab aggregators, etc) and immobile assets (like establishments, commercial and residential) within 15 minutes anywhere in the city. I got motivated for the idea since I believe safety has been an issue which hasn't been handled technologically well. There has been practically no innovation in this sector. It's mainly a public sector undertaking leading to no major modernisation. In India, police to population ratio of 131:100k people, thus average response time to every case is fairly high. Apart from that, the statistics of safety issues are staggering. 1 in every 3 women across the world have faced molestation, every 8 minutes a child goes missing, for the past 4 years, more than 200 Domino's delivery boys have died on the job. This deeply hurts us and we are determined to provide safety to people by creating a safety ecosystem of first responders who can reach and audit any problem within 15 minutes and act as a complementer to public police system. We have already monitored 400,000 trips of various clients (in mobility sector) and solved 3700 cases with 73% related to accidents, 19% related to brawls/arguments and 8% others involving harassment, operational inconvenience in last 30 days in Bangalore, India alone. Prior to launching Responder’s network, we were in the wearable space selling SAFER Smart Jewellery in different forms and sold 20,000 units which used to inform about your location to your friends and family in an emergency situation just by the click of a button. Our innovation in hardware space leds us win the prestigious Women Safety Xprize at United Nations in June 2018.	I am a graduate from Delhi Technological University in Electronics and Communication Engineering in 2015 working to solve the problem of Safety and create a SAFER world. We launched our first product Safer (an artificially intelligent smart safety wearable ) in 2015 for solving the problem of women safety. We were a part of Prime Minister Modi's delegation to silicon valley as the top 10 innovators of India. Having been featured in more than 700 news articles from the likes of CNN and BBC, we recently won the Million Dollar X Prize Award at United Nations. I'm heading the Technology Department at SAFER now. I have been a Research Scholar in Digital Signal Processing at the University of Illinois Urbana Champaign in 2014. I have rich experience in embedded systems with Omnipresent Robot Tech. and team A.I.R (Artificial Intelligence and Robotics) on the autonomous unmanned ground robot. My interest lies in making things actually work.	SAFER Infra	We are a safety tech company providing on-demand safety infrastructure to mobile (eCommerce and food delivery partners, cab aggregators, etc) and immo	Goal 5. Achieve gender equality and empower all women and girls \| Goal 8. Promote sustained, inclusive and sustainable economic growth, full and productive employment and decent work for all \| Goal 11. Make cities and human settlements inclusive, safe, resilient and sustainable	India, South Africa, Philippines, Indonesia, Brazil.	No		Transition to Scale	We are working with 3 clients in the mobility sector solving 100+ cases of safety on-road and also part of the World Bank Project where we are providing safety to 3000 women students in their skill development program. There is only 8% conversion in these institutions who join the mainstream labor force mainly due to safety issues. We are ensuring their safety to see if we can improve the percentage turn up. Since we are setting up operations PAN Delhi and Bangalore, we are in scaling stage.	We are addressing the problem of safety and unavailability of a single-window for threat assessment and handling in a small stipulated timeframe. Due to poor police to population ratio in developing country like India, the response time of the police network is pretty high. We as a company wants to protect People, Protect Assets and Protect Brands	We provide several touchpoints like a Trigger app, APIs for the client, toll-free number, etc through which our clients share the details and location of the emergency alert. We have our Rangers and shared sites spread across the city strategically who have our SAFER app installed. These people mark themselves ONLINE when they come to work. As soon as an alert comes, the system automatically searches for the nearest Ranger and allots the case to him. He navigates to the site and solves the matter as per Standard operating procedures well designed in accordance to handle medical and combat situations. Our long term vision is our predictive analysis and machine learning algorithms can start deploying our Rangers smartly that our response time can go even further lower and we can serve better and faster. Then we can open our system for B2C and create a chatbot in WhatsApp or Facebook and let people directly ask for help and we can solve public cases as well.	Current solution is mainly dependency on police department or private safety companies who provide QRT teams. But we are more like a complementors to police than a competition. Primarily the immobile and mobile assets we are targeting, they need our services to safeguard their people in shorter response time and need a quick resolution with the audited report. There isn’t any tech integration through which police dept is providing real-time information with tracking. So we are unique in that regard. Apart from this, our vision is to make a PAN India presence, and since every state government works in a decentralized way, there is no standardization. We fill that gap as well to become a common name for safety for all our clients. Moreover, our value proposition is the Response time, machine learning to predict the occurrence of cases and managing the supply chain accordingly.	We are in a pilot phase right now with 3 clients in the mobility sector and already monitored 400,000 trips of these clients and solved 3700 cases with 73% related to accidents, 19% related to brawls/arguments and 8% others involving harassment, operational inconvenience in last 30 days in Bangalore, India alone. We have certain KPIs that we monitor to keep a tab on our progress. Currently, they are as follows: Average Response time: 12:18 minutes. Avg No of Cases Solved in a day 124 Avg Time per Case 18 Mins 10 Seconds Current Operation Efficiency 12 Cases/Ranger/Day Net Promoter Score 24	We are planning to set up operations in Delhi/NCR and Bangalore. We are creating a strong team of engineers to make a scalable and stable product. Also we are hiring admins for managing control room and trainers for the Rangers. Our first milestone is create a Ranger network of 300 people for Delhi/NCR and 350 people for Bangalore to develop a bandwidth to handle 4000 cases per day. Post that as our clients are available in 300 cities of India, we will expand to those cities before expanding to international markets. Our current efforts have already impacted more than 3700 lives. We want to target to insure 700 million rides that happen across transportation and logistics sector per day in India. And provide Safety to Billion People by 2022. Post that there are several countries with similar designs like Indonesia, South Africa, Philippines, Thailand, which have similar abundance of private security companies which we aggregate and safety concerns in the market.	We are currently looking for the right hires and partners who can help us in improving our processes and help in setting up operations which are scalable and efficient. We have clients looking for quality service which works flawlessly. Post that we will be working in unit economics of our system which comes when we share our inventory of Rangers across clients, then we need to set up a Business Development team to convert more leads. For the long term, we need support from the government and police departments to ensure this service can reach a maximum audience. Some right partners can take us to different countries and help us establish the biggest security company providing safety services to all platforms and can be open as FREE SAFETY for all.	1.

92	I am submitting a Solution to be considered for inclusion in UN Solutions Summit	Huram	Konjen	Dianox	www.dianox.org	CEO	Male	Denmark	Denmark	English	My team is working on a new diagnostic biotechnology to help the hundreds of millions that are still not diagnosed, but in order to succeed we need partnerships with NGOs and medical universities. Before we can initiate these partnerships, we need to show that we have widespread support. This is where the UN Solutions Summit comes into play as it gives us an opportunity to get exposure on the increasing challenges of hepatitis, and serves as an opportunity to inspire other entrepreneurs to move into this field.	I am a tech savvy generalist with an ability to link technology with the business domain. I have spent the last few years developing my complexity management skills in the driver's seat of impact projects in global organizations. I am now working on a biotechnology opportunity where I can cultivate my entrepreneurial spirit and lead meaningful innovation efforts on a global scale.	Dianox	300 million people suffer from hepatitis. Our mission is to reduce this number to zero.	Goal 3. Ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all at all ages	Currently researching in Denmark and the US, it will be implemented in Philippines to begin with.	No		Research & Development	We have spent a year to validate the societal problem and business case by talking to various experts from the Gates Foundation, WHO and Deloitte. We are currently running experiments to get to Proof of Concept stage with our biotechnology.	Hepatitis is one of the leading causes of death in the world with almost 2 million people dying from it every year. Many cases of hepatitis are treatable and some even curable, but to do so one needs to be tested for the virus. Even though hepatitis is a global epidemic very few people get tested for it. Only 10% of people living with hepatitis have been diagnosed. There is a clear lack of accessible early diagnostic tools.	We have designed an accessible and cheap alternative to the current painstaking process of testing for hepatitis. A self-test consisting of a diagnostic chewing gum that can detect hepatitis. The gum is chewed for 2-5 minutes, and if the subject has the hepatitis virus, the gum simply changes color. The color change takes place minutes after the gum comes into contact with the subject's mouth, and responds to hepatitis biomarkers in the saliva. This makes it quick and easy to screen broad populations for hepatitis. Chewing gum is naturally salivating, which makes the testing process pleasant, instead of using a cotton swab to uncomfortably prod the glands to secrete saliva. Chewing gum is also the world’s most common habit. It dates back 9.000 years, and is deeply embedded in most cultures around the world. This makes gum an ideal design for a scalable diagnostic test that even children would not object to.	All current hepatitis tests are blood based and require trained medical staff, which means the need for anonymity is overlooked. The ability to test anonymously is critical to avoid the stigma of having an incurable and highly contagious virus that can be sexually transmitted. Depending on the region, being diagnosed with hepatitis by a doctor can result in getting fired from your job, and even being ostracized from your community. There are a number of advantages to using saliva instead of blood as a diagnostic tool. Here are the most beneficial qualities of a saliva based test: - Non-invasive - Safe to administer at home (no needles) - No need for trained medical staff By utilizing saliva instead of blood, we are able to develop a self-test for hepatitis that addresses the most critical need of patients, specifically the need for an anonymous test.	We have run a few experiments to determine how to get the chewing gum to change color when it comes into contact with saliva. Now we are developing the biotechnology that detects and quantifies the hepatitis virus.	We are fighting to eradicate deaths from hepatitis. We believe the best way to do this is by introducing an accessible early screening diagnostic test to the market. Our immediate goal is to recruit one more technical co-founder as the research we are conducting is very complex. Our vision is to create a hepatitis diagnostic test that costs 80% less to scale than current market solutions. This has the potential to improve the diagnostic rate of hepatitis from the current 9% to 90% that the WHO has set as a target.	Short-term ressources: Experienced wet lab researchers to mature the biotechnology Medium-term: Intellectual property to secure competitive advantage Long-term: Partnerships with relevant NGOs and manufacturers	As we are at a very early stage, we do not have much work that is available publicly yet. We are waiting with publishing scientific journal articles until our IP is secured. We have recently applied to a number of patents, but these have yet to be released on public websites. http://dianox.org/	https://youtu.be/opg0TQ5N_Kw	- Venture Cup National - Venture Cup World Cup (finalist - competition is still ongoing)

Educational board games are very high in demand especially for the children from the age group of 10-18. We also have got the Intellectual Property rights for this game and pre-order in the prototype stage. We are constantly working on the next version and variant of this product as well as Mobile application to reach masses.	More than 150 million children in the world have learning lags, these learning lags are due to disadvantaged background, disability, gender bias, and poor quality education. Most of these students are being ignored in the schools and not being able to get the pedagogy Fear of topics like trigonometry, which is one of the most important subjects for the long term career, is still not being gamified, due to which many students are not being able to learn and develop the skills in future.	As per the leading Media Portal, the Guardian “Maths Anxiety” causing fear and despair in children as young as six which can cause physical symptoms and behavior problems in classes. Trigonik is a Trigonometry based Educational board game exclusively designed for students & people above the age of 10 above, globally there are 59 million children in 195 countries. This game will reduce the anxieties and improve the learning outcome, it will also reduce the burden of teachers, time is the best asset of any school and teacher usually it takes 60 - 90 minutes or 2-3 periods for teachers teach the basic concept, with this game the burden will get removed. There are still old traditional practices and pedagogy used to teach the children which doesn’t help all the students. With this, we are empowering all the students and teacher with a new to create a positive impact.	Board games are one of the entities which come under monopoly products, every board game on this planet is unique and I respect all the creator, artist and designer for their respective creation in this segment, even if have to factually and logically justify the uniqueness of it this game, there are three points which separate this board game from all the other board games globally, first the topic we have chosen, there is no company or individual who has taken an effort to gamify trigonometry, I am the first person to do it, second the dices, all the dice-based board game have a common dice which was created long back, I have been able to create the world’s first trigonometry based dices ( exclusively for this game, third board games are very expensive, we are launching multiple variants of it, which will start from as low as one dollar ( 70 Rs/- ). It will be one of the most affordable board games, which opens up the opportunity to reach the bottom of the pyramid. We have a global mission for “ Trigonik ”. We want to reach 5.9 Million schools globally, But We believe that the real social impact happens when we create a product or service for the people who are always being ignored. We will launch a Braille version for the Blind people. The Mission is to serve 36 Million Blind people and 246 billion Visually Impaired. These Exclusively created 3D Trigonik Braille version will be distributed and sold to all the blind school globally via order or CSR Activity.	We have so far received the order of 500 boxes to get deliver to various schools, we are also preparing the braille version of it as well. We will launch this product in october As far as measuring the Impact, we will be constantly taking feedback from the user, of their initial experience with the game, using various survey form. Our sale of the product will also be defining a lot of impacts,if our sales are getting increasing, it will show that the product is getting word of mouth.	If we have to reach to every school on this planet, one day per school, it will take us sixteen thousand years, we have recently got an IPR and now we are ready to produce, we also have a pre-order from some people, In the next one year we will be closely doing impact assessment with one thousand children with different backgrounds. Although we had tested with some users and ready to capture the market share, We have to create multiple campaigns in various school and cities via collaborating with NGOs and channel partners, We will be creating a volunteer-based system to empower young people to advocate for this product, we will be training one thousand teachers, which will become agents for us to deploy this product.

95	I am submitting a Solution to be considered for inclusion in UN Solutions Summit	Johnmary	Kavuma	Upcycle Africa	www.upcycleafrica.org	Founder and CEO	Male	Uganda	Uganda	English	I grew up as a poor orphan without access to good housing. Rain at night meant the end of sleep to my grand-mother and me. When I was 19 years old. The poor drainage system next to our house could flood due to high accumulation of plastic waste dumped in the trenches. It led to the collapse of our house. I only survived with huge wounds, my only grandmother died from the injuries she suffered. I was able to turn my challenges into a motivation of creating my company Upcycle Africa . I was fortunate early in my life to find the intersection of what my passion was and the world greatest need. The experience of growing as a poor orphan in Uganda motivates me to work towards sustainable development goals especially SDG 13. I experienced first-hand the brunt of climate change and how that shapes the level of injustices and inequality that meet people daily. I believe human will act when informed and empowered. I am on a mission to raise awareness and inspire others to join me and act now! I founded Upcycle Africa which transforms the waste crisis in Africa into employment opportunities for marginalised groups of people while training them the skills of turning plastic waste into affordable and eco-friendly homes. We have so far constructed over 110 houses out of plastic bottles and other plastic waste like jerry cans and car tyres. Empowered (Trained) over 120 youths creative building techniques, employed 108 women as plastic sorters and compactors. We have reached over 200000 people while changing their mind-set about plastic waste use. With our slogan “Waste is not waste not until you waste it” By the end of this year we hope to construct 17 and more houses out of plastic waste in different parts of Uganda and Africa. I hope to gain Entrepreneurial skills and knowledge on business management such as business financing, marketing, staffing and scaling up of business. I believe that through networking and interactions with like-minded persons, I will appreciate how similar businesses are run elsewhere and how challenges are addressed. I hope to acquire more Leadership skills which will enable me lead my team better, and encourage them to work together for prosperity of business. My entry into the fellowship will hopefully enable me acquire more skills and experience in running an empowerment based business so as to impact the world positively. I equally hope that I shall be able to pass on skills of management to my teams and to many other people.	I am Kavuma Johnmary, a Ugandan enterpreneur, change maker, and an environmentalist. I am passionate about uplifting the lives of marginalised groups of people while conserving the environment. I have volunteered with several organisations in line with that. In 2015 i founded Upcycle Africa which empower communities to protect the environment while constructing affordable homes out of plastic waste. I am also the co-founder Kimuli Fashionability, an initiative that is unchaining persons with disabilities from the bondage of discrimination and unemployment/underemployment by equipping them with hands-on creative tailoring skills to turn plastic waste into upcycled fashionable clothing. Through my work, i seek to demonstrate to the world that ""disability is not inability."" and ""waste is not wase untill you waste it "". Additionally I am also a peer educator at tech for community trying to bridge the digital gap by availing opportunities to everyone in rural communities starting from younger generation to youth and women. I love passing on skills to other people so that i can break the barriers that keeps them poverty.	Transforming the waste problem into opportunities by provinding affordable homes	We transform the waste crisis in Africa into employment opportunities for marginalised groups of people while training them upcycling skills.	Goal 4. Ensure inclusive and equitable quality education and promote lifelong learning opportunities for all \| Goal 10. Reduce inequality within and among countries \| Goal 14. Conserve and sustainably use the oceans, seas and marine resources for sustainable development \| Goal 17. Strengthen the means of implementation and revitalize the Global Partnership for Sustainable Development	Uganda, Kenya, Tanzania, South Africa and Nigeria	Yes	environmentally cousious organisations	Scaling	We have so far constructed 117 houses in different parts of Africa. Provided shelter to over 10 marginalised families. Upcycle Africa has created direct jobs to 178 women in our five communities of operation who serve on contract as waste pickers. Our school recycling project recovers plastic waste from over 52 schools monthly while educating students on good waste management practices. We would like to change the mind-set on the way people think and dispose of plastic waste.	There are over 150 Million Tons of Plastic already in the oceans. Experts predict that there will be more plastic than fish in oceans by 2050. Housing is still very expensive especially for people living in slums and low income areas. dignified housing is expensive considering that these families earn an average of $40 as monthly income. The lack of quality housing compromises people’s health and development opportunities	Our long term vision for the global impact is to build a social business that is standing for environmental conservation and uplifitng the lives of marginalised groups of people. We are looking forward to rise a generation that is counsious to enviromental safety through our senstization programs.	Our competitive advantage is that we train and promote on the employability of marginalized youth through training them with free hands-on skills of creative construction to be able turn waste into finished houses and acquire self-sustainability. In this we address two main potential issues, proper waste management, Inclusion and employment marginalized youth. We construct long lasting up-cycled houses for example constructed using plastic bottles, roofed with plastic jerry-cans and rubber while breaking the stereotypes the community has towards plastic waste.	My team has progressed in building this solution whereby its now considered the best as far as construction homes from plastic wste is considered. In this we have been able to be the source of information to most organisation internation on how to construct homes from plastic wste. We count our progress by caunting the number of waste collected from different areas and the number of people whose behaviour changed on the way they dispose off plastic wste. We also measure our impact by the number of homes/ houses constructed. We are able to measure our impact by number of people reached for example in a country.	Our goal is to build a social business that is standing for evironmental conservation and uplifting the lives of marginalised groups of people. Our mile-stone is to construct more homes in Southern part of Africa. West and Central. We hope create a wareness change people mindset on the way they think and dispose of plastic waste. We hope to get more people on our team so that we can be able to excute our desired goals. We are on a mission to raise awareness, inspire other to join us and act now.	Funding that can aid us to scale to almost all African countries, An efficient and skilled team as our ambassordors in different parts of Africa. We are looking forward for more partners on board so that we can be able to scale to every part of Africa. We are lacking connections to the right people.

We have project named "" Have liquid soap by yourself, eradicate Ebola, this project aims to teach everyone on how to produce liquid soap at home using available materials, and this will facilitate them to hand wash as necessary as well. We have started by teaching community health workers from the villages, in order to distribute the soap to the mother who come to them for health care especially when child has diseases from poor hygiene; they automatically teach the mother about hand washing techniques. We introduce this innovation because normally the liquid soap is very expensive and population knows that is for only the riches and the access is very difficult for them to get it. As recommended by WHO, It is not safe to use solid soap in hand washing because can cross the micro organisms to the hands then the techniques of hand washing is not sufficient. We are experts in the domain of soap production and while we get funds we can automatically expend at worldwide level and we eradicate diseases from poor hygiene as is known that are more percentage than others especially in sub sahara Africa. We talked about Ebola because nowadays is ravaging the African continent and can be spread at all over the world so we can sing the song says that"" No Hygiene, no life"".	We have more experience in soap production in Rwanda and distribute in Host community to be used, when we make supervision in the villages where we are operating the number of diseases from poor hygiene is drastically decreased, reference made.	Have liquid soap by yourself, eradicate Ebola!	We will facilitate the population by teaching them on how to produce the liquid soap by themselves and they automatically use it.	Goal 3.

No		Scaling	The project is operated in sampled zone of Rwanda country for sometimes gets funds will be operating in all the country why not the continent or worldwide.	The high number of population who get sick are mostly affected by diseases from poor hygiene, due to do no hand wash effectively. Means using clean water and liquid soap.	When the population knows to produce themselves the liquid soap with available tools, they will use it without problem and they will not get sick every time. And their economy will grow as well.	The teaching of the role of effective hand washing in Host community will facilitate them to initiate the start-up of producing it. Here the references and examples will be given.	One year ago with the struggle of implementation of the project in sampled zone of activity.	The goal is to have easily liquid soap at home produced by the population themselves, and while we implement the project we will need at least project coordinator at every district and liquid soap producers as techniques at least one in sector. Here we will count the number of the districts and sectors.	Human resources according the zones of operations Financial resources buying some materials and payment of employees Material resources must have machines for facility of production.	https://fabuwi4.webnode.com/	https://fabuwi4.webnode.com/

Every year farmers lose their crops to elephants, a single elephant can wipe out an entire family’s annual food produce in one go. Chabana Farms helps mitigate the conflict between farmers and wildlife conflict. Elsewhere in Africa the solution is to shoot elephants, at Chabana Farms we believe the solution is smaller than a bullet. BEES, our solution are bees. We use bees as living fences around the farms. We train and supply farmers with beehives. We then create markets for farmers by buying back the honey from them. It works, elephants do not like bees, especially when they go into their nostrils and therefore keep away. Using bees we currently 1. Create jobs for more than 300 women farmers 2. Contribute to the food security as farmers are now able to harvest their crops 3. Help save wildlife as farmers no longer have to shoot elephants in their farms 4. Conservation, bees pollinate 70% of the planet plants 5. Gender based violence- we have seen a significant decline in the numbers of gender based violence as women are now empowered and have jobs We currently supply the local market with raw desert honey, we also export to Lesotho and Namibia	Mavis Nduchwa is the founder and CEO of Chabana Farms, a agribusiness startup in Botswana that works with communities to alleviate hunger and poverty in rural areas through various social projects.

We recently registered for export of our desert honey to United States Of America. Our customer return rate has more than doubled in the past 14 months	We are addressing the problem of 1. farmer wildlife/elephants conflict 2. Unemployment in rural areas 3. Conservation of both wildlife and plants 4. Gender Inequality	Elephants naturally do not like bees, we therefore use bees as living fences around the farms to keep the elephants away. This is a more better and natural solution than farmers shooting elephants. The idea is for farmers and the upcoming generation to build a symbiotic relationship to help empower women and children in rural communities though providing training and jobs for them. Using bees we hope to retain some of the plants getting extinct as well as stop desertification. We also hope to reduce and end gender inequalities in rural communities.	Our solution is more natural and most importantly smaller than a bullet. Our solution is solving a number of issues at the same time such as 1. Unemployment 2. Food security 3. Reduced Inequality 4. Conservation We also use the platform to work with schools to teach children in communities about conservation	We have a network of more than 300 farmers who we currently work with.

100	I am submitting a Solution to be considered for inclusion in UN Solutions Summit	Mbuih	Zukane Retruyap	ICAD Enterprise	www.icadorg.com	Founder / CEO	Mail	Cameroon	Cameroon	English \| French	I am applying because the UN solution summit will be a unique opportunity that will create an enabling environment to scale my innovative solution at the global level. For the pat four years, our solution have gained grounds at the local and national levels in the fight against climate change and the promotion of environmental sustainability, via waste management, recycling and sustainable agriculture. haven gained sufficient local, national and international recognition (testified by the plethora of grants and awards received), we believe it is high time we scaled our visibility on a UN stage, which is offered by this renowned opportunity. We have used innovation (locally fabricated machines) to tackle SDG 1,2,7, 13 and most importantly 15 at the local and national levels, but which has a very high impact at the global level. Building on the fact that we have a common planet and climate, the hazardous effect is felt by every one in an equal par, so in the fight against climate change, every action counts and every positive action has a global impact. Over the years, ICAD Enterprise has demonstrated this by creating a positive global impact via - The planting of 10 000 trees every year in up to 21 communities (http://www.icadorg.com/en/world-earth-day-planting-of-2000-trees). Our innovation in this move is the fact that we plant them in and around sacred forests, which engenders sustainability, because no one dares to fetch wood in a sacred forest. These trees helps in carbon sequestration at the global level and contributes enormously to Cameroon's Intended Nationally Determined Contribution (INDC), pledged during the Paris agreement on climate change in 2015. Today, we count over 45 000 trees planted in 4 years.	Mbuih is an international development expert, specialized in sustainable development. He has over 15 years of accumulated experience in the domain. He currently serve as a lecturer and community manager in one of Cameroon's state universities- Dschang. Mbuih is at the same time the founder and CEO of a social enterprise, dubbed ICAD Enterprise, which deals with recycling, waste management and sustainable agriculture. Mbuih is a PhD student in the University of Douala - Cameroon and has published 6 scientific articles.	Waste for Development (W4D)	W4D entails providing sustainable solutions to environmental issues Cameroon, through tree planting, recycling, waste management and agri-tech.	Goal 1.

Take urgent action to combat climate change and its impacts \| Goal 15. Protect, restore and promote sustainable use of terrestrial ecosystems, sustainably manage forests, combat desertification, and halt and reverse land degradation and halt biodiversity loss	1. Cameroon, Nigeria, Gabon and Equatorial Guinea	Yes	- USAID via the YAIF Fund (USA/Ghana); DevGrad, Belgium; Tony Elumelu Foundation, Nigeria; Policy Center for the New South, Morocco, The Pollination Project, USA; University of Dschang, Cameroon	Transition to Scale	Ever since I won the Tony Elumelu Entrepreneurship grant in 2017, we have been able to carryout our activities beyond Dschang, to reach out to 21 localities. Not only are we conceiving machines for recycling and waste management, we have been able to produce our recycled products and sell to households, schools, hospitals, while offering some for free to the less privileged. We have created direct impact to 5693 beneficiaries, with over 250000 indirect beneficiaries.	In Dschang, 92% of households uses wood (deforestation) as a source of fuel. Also, Due to lack of space, inept collection, disposal and management system, waste generated by households, and agricultural productions heap up continuously engendering a filthy environment, water pollution, bad odours, and multiplication of flies which serve as vectors of disease like malaria, typhoid, cholera, diarrhoea etc. Therefore, there is an urgent need to recycle these wastes to useful resources.	ICAD's solution evolves around pre-sorting of wastes, recycling them and giving other meanings to them. ICAD also does sustainable agriculture and now agri-tech. Besides, ICAD carries out CSR,which entails planting trees around sacred forests and fruit trees in Orphanages. 1. Waste Collection: We invented 3 methods, firstly the photocopy for points (P4P), which entails exchanging plastic bottles for discount and at times free photocopy of notes and handouts from students mostly. Secondly, we invented the mobile crushing van, which entails moving from place to place (rivers, oceans, streets, waste sites) and be crushing plastics into pellets. Lastly, households registers in our platform and sends tool-free SMS when their thrash is full. 2. Recycling: We recycle 3 things. Firstly, plastics into medical prosthesis (offered to amputees for free in underprivileged localities), roof tiles and construction pavements. We also recycle animal (2000 chicks in our poultry) and household wastes into biogas, through biodigestion and lastly, we recycle papers, sawdust and rice husk into briquettes (bio charcoal) (SDG 7 &13) 3. Sustainable agriculture: The slurry obtained as a by-product of the biogas is used as organic manure in a 5 ha farmland, some of the organic manure are offered to poor farmers for free (SDG 1&2) We also practice aquaponics lately. 4 CSR: A total of 45 000 trees have been planted in 21 localities, with over 7001 fruit trees in 16 orphanages (SDG 15)	Firstly, the P4P is a unique concept in Cameroon and in the over 15 countries I have visited. In my locality, like in most poor countries, students spend over 60% of their expenditures on photocopies. Faced with this and with the difficulties of obtaining wastes constantly, we invented this concept, whereby 10 plastic bottle waste are equivalent to 1 free page of recto-verso photocopy, so a student in need to photocopy 10 pages and doesn't have the money, will do everything to pick 100 bottles littered. At the end of the day, it is a win-win, because they photocopy their notes for ""free""(SDG 4), meanwhile we recycle the plastics into other outlets for sell. In reality, we make a 100% profit from the plastic, thus, easily ploughing back part of it for the photocopies. Secondly, Our Mobile plastic crushing machine is the first of its kind, so we go for the thrash and wastes where ever they are, this has permitted us to be exporting some of the pellets. Thirdly, our approach protects the forest entirely, most afforestation programs are just anywhere, but we invented the issue of planting the trees in and around sacred forests, because no one dares to fetch wood in sacred forests. Lastly, we package our bio-manure in recyclable bags, mostly in dried forms, which can be used at any time and any season, which is an innovative solution to the muddy and heavy slurry that was traditionally used.	We progressed from artisanally made recycling machines to mechanized. Before we won the Atlantic Dialogues Emerging Leaders Alumni Fund in 2018, we were basically using hand made designed machines to recycle our wastes, but today, we have a 5W PC Series Pellet machine, adapted to a mobile van. With the machine, we are capable of recycling 1 ton of plastics a day, contrary to less than 50kg in yesteryears. Another palpable progress is the fact that we no longer pay thrash collectors, like before, we have designed a method to be getting the thrash at our doorsteps, via the P4P project, especially after we incorporated e-services to the thrash collection. Before 2017, we were not capable to produce enough organic manure for our organic farms (5ha), but in March 2019, which was the farming season, we had an excess of 1211 kg of organic manure, up from 500kg last year. It should be noted that this excess is being distributed to underprivileged farmers, for them to increase their yields and as a way of promoting sustainable agriculture. Ever since we started recycling papers into briquettes, the campus of the university of Dschang is smoke and soothe free, because we recycle all the paper wastes that used to be burnt. Today, 90% of households in my locality, are registered in our collection platform.	In our 2 years strategic action plan (2019-2021), we intend to add 10 mobile crushing units, made up of a van and a pellet machine, up from just one now, our vision is to have a van in each of the 10 regions of Cameroon. We intend to recruit 50 youths in our headquarter and innovation center by next year (December 2020), because we are in the process of increasing our organic farm to 20 ha, We also intend to create another recycling unit in Ndop and Bamenda by that time and we have evaluated that our labour will increase from 18 to 50 by then and this is our major milestones in the coming year. Building on our profit margin, we shall increase our trees from 10000 annually in the past years to 20 000 annually by 2021, and in which case we will target all the major sacred forests in the North West and West Regions of Cameroon. Another major milestone is to export the pellets to our partners in Belgium and in China. When the above will be realized, we are comfortable that it will create an impact to over 2 million people by 2022 and the figures might double by 2025. We intend to build greenhouse and incorporate it in our aquaponic as a way of fully promoting agri-tech and organic farming.	The most important resources needed in the short, medium and long term are technical resources. We have been using mostly student volunteers, from the technology institute and the Faculty of agriculture of the University of Dschang to fabricate our machines and execute the projects. We are in dire need of renewable energy experts and experts in recycling and agri-tech. We also need an expert in chemical engineering, who can help us to purify our biogas. Basically in all the domains, we need experts who can fine-tune our activities. In long term, we will need to have sufficient material resources, to open more innovation and collection centers.	- Company Website: http://www.icadorg.com - My latest Publication on Climate Change (Read Chapter 11, page 127) : https://www.policycenter.ma/sites/default/files/Rapport%20-%20Atalntic%20Current%20AD%202018%20%28Web%29.pdf. - My Publication in the African Educational Journal, 2017: http://www.netjournals.org/z_AERJ_17_009.html - My Publication in the Commonwealth Journal 2016 (Page 38): http://camerooncommonwealthjournal.com/journal/download/24-cameroon-journal-of-studies-in-the-commonwealth-vo.php - My Publication on International migration crisis: https://doi.org/10.14738/assrj.54.4465 - Report from Menoua Actu , our Local TV Channel on training of trainers on local techniques on recycling sawdust and paper: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Onb9f1rqYxs. - Educating youths on how to create an organization: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fi_KThKn59s. - Tree planting: http://www.icadorg.com/en/world-earth-day-planting-of-2000-trees - Plastic upcycing: http://www.icadorg.com/en/plastic-up-cycling	https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vJ1--qu_c_c	- Award Winner, UNESCO-MARS Research summit: http://www.unesco-mars.com/mars_award_winners.php#7 - Tony Elumelu Entrepreneurship Program (winner). http://tonyelumelufoundation.org/programme/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/TEF2017_1000_NAMES1.pdf - YALI Alumni Innovation Fund (winner) https://meetalumni.yaliwestafrica.org/event/yali-alumni-innovation-fund-yaif-award-winners-list. - Atlantic Dialogues Emerging Leaders Fund (Winner) - DavGrad Award winner - CATI2Uds award (Finalist.

Nick believes the wheels of capitalism are a bit wobbly due to pressures we didn’t expect, such as a thing called the internet. Now with 9 communities in the world running the IC model and 5 buildings either occupied or in development, they are having too much fun building what he calls, “American Dream Factories”. Many of the projects are in very unlikely locations, yet the communities they deploy in are producing some of the most significant new startups. Google named one of the cities as a digital capital citing the work of Innovation Collective. Milken Institute listed their most mature project as creating impact and assiting as the city shot up to number 5 on the “top performing small cities” report, and Brookings has cited a city they deployed in as having more startups per capita than any other city in the state by nearly 2x. Nick has a goal of building a new way in the world for humans to connect, experience abundance, find joy, and be creative. Nick is a Milken Institute Young Leader and was a member of the Young Entrepreneur Council. He has been interviewed for or contributed to Bloomberg, Forbes, USA Today, Fast Company, Mashable, Virgin, Inc. Magazine and Huffington Post. He has been a speaker for SXSW, BBC, VentureBeat, Rise of the Rest, and A-Tech.	Innovation Colletive	repairing Community and Capitalism	Goal 1. End poverty in all its forms everywhere \| Goal 4.

Only by ensuring the rights of women and girls across all the goals will we get to justice , inclusion and economies that work for all, and sustaining our shared environment now and for future generations. Growing up was quite challenging, born and raised up in a community where culture determined the right of women and girls,, where women lack access to lands right , where women are totally disengaged from the process of development but dream to make a positive difference and influence others strengthen my desire helping women and girls in communities and villages in Nigeria making them a better version of themselves.. Our initiatives explores the role of advocacy and empowerment as tools to strengthen the rural community’s understanding of gender and land rights. It seeks community based approach, focuses on women economic empowerment, engaging them in vocational and entrepreneurship training skills to enable them set up small sustainable business and become self reliance while educating them on their lands right.

Therefore, the lack of access to land and ownership rights results in a lack of collateral. This, in turn, limits access to farming and credit facilities, thus increasing levels of poverty among rural community women.	The project is focusing on capacity building of women who are socially and economically marginalised. Most importantly the project prioritizes the most vulnerable women (the organization targets poor illiterate, young widows,marginalized and displaced members of the society. Priority is given to the completely illiterate poor widows, who will be accorded with basic literacy skills . These are determined through recruitment evaluation procedures with the assistance of local authorities and religious leaders.Family members of our beneficiary are involved in the project. The project is designed to be all inclusive, with the ability to create a viable platform for policy memorandum; most importantly , the project by design,showcase the women’s abilities as a peace keeper ,changemakers and leaders which are hardly noticed in various communities due to lack of political will to implement policy that support gender equality. The project was desighed to have valuable contributions for the global drive towards enhancing women’s right to land to have more credence in the community level area . it is important to understand how these rights affect the well-being of women	Uniqueness of our initiatives lies in our abilities to Creat an innovative approach to tackling the disproportionate impact of land corruption on community women through the introduction of INTERACTIVE COMMUNITY PANELS , consisting of family head ,government rep,resentatives ,women leaders, religious groups and lawyers , the panel are informed about issues relating to women income generation through land related activities This panel works with women on income generating activities, while informing and enabling them to improve their livelihoods .

With my involvement in student politics and national affairs in my country I have come to see a deteriorating leadership style breeding in all spheres of leadership and this has the ability to undermine the prosperity of future generation. However, with a nature and nurture leadership style with a paradigm shift from the conventional style I believe I can make a change that will influence the world at large .

One year later they reconciled and at the age of four (4) my parents divorced, I was left with my mum and my feeding was at the mercy of the harvests of her peasant farming. The resources was so limited that my mum almost sold me out. However, at age six (6) I lost my grand dad at this point my mum had no choice but to send mW to friend of her in the city. When I got to the city I saw entirely new light and three years later been with my boss I opted for education and though it brought some mis understanding with my boss but I have to push on knowing that if I must be great it will be only through education . that was how I went into school and finally when it was time for college my boss refused to further me but I never hesitated leaving her to work out my future, so when I left her I did local jobs of all kinds and finally secured admission to study Chemical and Petroleum technology and presently am in my final year of study. * I believe that my story can change the world but i need to be great to tell that story because no body reads the story of a changeless changer .

I feel that my project is unique in solving the Sustainable development goals. Its a unique in a way that i have combined goal #3 and Goal #13 which is tackling Good health and well being and climate action in a one package. Hence i want to share it with other people around the world so that they can learn and implement it on the same in their respective countries. On the same note, i want to learn from other friends from other countries and learn on what innovative SGDs projects are implementing. I would also want to boost my knowledge and understanding on SDGs and its implications on lives of the people so that i can put them in use in my country Malawi.	My Name is Akuzike Moyo. I was born in Nkhotakota district-central region of Malawi. I am 27 years old. I am a youth development worker. I advocate for youth development and issues that they affect them in day to day lives ranging from Sexual and reproductive health rights and environmental rated issues. I have worked with a number of organisations and institution and further participated in a number of youth conference s and volunteering program like International Citizen Services and being a Young Women Can Do It advocate Alumin, where i have established and co-facilitated the establishment of 100+ Young women can do it clubs in Nkhotakota district. I am currently working with Population Services International-Malawi office as a Youth Alert Supervisor, Which i have so far greatly contributed to the fully particpation of Youth friendly health service among the younths and recognition of Health services rights from 21 health facilities in Machinga district. I hold a diploma in commonwealth Youth Development from Lilongwe University of Agriculture and Natural resources and i am pursuing a bachelors of Social science in Development Studies from Catholic University of Malawi.

Take urgent action to combat climate change and its impacts	Its only Malawi	Yes	with Interactive Society for Health and Development (ISOHEDE).	Proof of Concept	It is at this stage because i have done the situational analysis, problem has been identified. The last stage is lobbying for funds which will help with the implementation.	Green up my community project will be implemented in Machinga district in two traditional authorities namely TA Nkula and Mposa. Machinga district is situated in eastern part of Malawi. The areas have mountains, hills and flatlands with rivers all of them running to the basin lake (lake chirwa) and Lake Malawi. The impact areas mentioned were hit hard with January 2015 devastated floods, which occurred as a result of environmental degradation	The purpose of the project is to build climate change resilience and intensify tree planting among the communities by raising awareness, advocacy, sourcing and provision of seedlings, the project will also embark on stem tree planting which grows without being watered. It is envisaged that this project will avert the future flooding and reduction of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, the project, therefore will work with already existed government and non-governmental structures such as youth clubs and it will further establish eco-community groups. This is SRHR and tree planting integrated project, The SRHR part is focusing on population control, through promotion family planning uptake in-order to increase to climate change resiliency and reduce pressure on the environment as it is no longer a secret that large family size find it very difficult to recover from climate change shocks as compared to the smaller family size and again population increase negatively affects the environment as people begin to cut down trees carelessly for farming and charcoal in large volumes, this project therefore, will address all sides of the coin of SRHR and Tree planting.	The strategic approach will include use of truncheons of natural species that better fight anthropogenic factors of the changing climate. While most efforts in tree planting and a forestation centre on use of tree seedlings , this approach effectively promotes tree planting using truncheons (commonly called tree stems), which are sourced from existing branches of natural trees from within communities or nearby forest reserves and planted anytime of the year without watering. The truncheons require a shorter time for plants to reach maturity, no caring for nursery stock and livestock cannot easily damage the new shoots. Among the activities in the project will include; community awareness, advocacy, interface forums and tree planting exercises. The tree planting will take two folds both tree seedling and truncheons planting. The project will also use awareness and interface meeting with the target audience to raise awareness on the uptake of the contraceptive methods that in the long run will help reduce population that will in-turn reduce the high levels of tree planting.	Its a personal concept. It took me six months that's from January-June, 2019 in developing the concept. The measuring of the project will be; 1. Number of people involved in planting trees exercise against planned of 90,0000 from two Traditional Authorities 2.Number of people accessing Health services from their nearest health facilities. Contraceptive uptake checked in the Register book. 3. SRH/ Climate change information and Knowledge among the communities which will be measure through Focus Group Discussion if they have be reached	Expanding to a whole district of Machinga district by 2021. Targeting all the 17 Traditional Authorities which the district has.	The project will require $ 10,000 - Procurement of polythene tubes and tree seedlings - Fee for hiring a consultant to produce messages through posters -Fees to pay in radios for SRH/Climate change information - Allowances for Training and meetings with community leaders	https://www.facebook.com/isohede/	https://www.facebook.com/akuzike.moyo	None

My names are khalid ahmed mohamed a nutrition and dietitic student at mount kenya university.i am on the verge of completing my undergraduate degree and have successfully completed 4 months clinical attachment at kajiado county refferal hospital and also have finished my 3 months internship with the kenya red cross society where am a volunteer and also a member.i have been engaging with the community and local hospitals during my undergraduate hence came up with concepts about digital health	Nutrikha7/Nutrihelper	Achieving universal health through patnerships	Goal 3.

Strengthen the means of implementation and revitalize the Global Partnership for Sustainable Development	Kenya	Yes	Government of kenya and Thika level 5 hospital	Transition to Scale	The ideation and formula formulation was done and the prototype was developed where the proof of concept was established during the prototype testing phase at thika level 5 hospital.Feedback was received on how to improve the app.Pilot phase is beginning on august	The app was informed by the way we calculate various feeds and supplements manually for patients in hospitals and also the rising cases of medical errors that lead to deterioration of patients and even death of patients as the health care providers also suffer from fatigue.The app also covers the gap of manual data collection in our local hospitals as this is liable to error and has a high likelihood of being tampared	The app firsts collects the data of the patient.The doctor or nurse inputs the condition that the patient is suffering from for example diabetes and hypertensin.The app calculates both diabetic and hypertension supplements at the same time as the equations are different and complex and based on the weightof the patient but the app runs that in 5seconds.I.e give 230mls of supplement X to the patient.The app also calculates the food portions to be given for example give one serving of bread for breakfast 2 servings of meat for lunch etc.The app is accurate and gives what the patient requires at that moment.The app has a special feature of reminding the nurse on what supplement to give,the time to administer the ward where the patient and bed number.	An app of this version which solves these problems doesnt exist.Hospital induced malnutrition and medical errors have been among the biggest killer of patients and a solution has been lacking but nutrihelper is here to solve this.	The team has been meeting to develop the app from an ideation to a working prototype that has been tested and confirmed to be working.The app is about to begin pilot phase where we will be working with thika level 5 hospital for 2 months where the app will be serving patients and collecting data.Routine feedback is usually received from the nutritionists and nurses who use on how to improve the app and add features to serve the patients better.Progress is usually measured by the numbers of patients using the app and recovering well as was observed during the prototype testing phases.	The project has already interests from global pharmaceutical companies for example B BRAUN.The plan is to start at thika level 5 hospital and expand to the hospitals in the county.One of the key patners are ministry of health who will help in countrywide usage of this app,having interests from global companies like B BRAUN who want to put their products in the app,having them as a patner will help us go global as they work in over 200 countries.Health is a global necessity and hence this innovation is aimed to help everyone with the world as our market and with B braun ready and the app is working it will be achieved.	The app has been confirmed to be working and has gained market approval.The pilot phase doesnt require a lot of resources because i will be working with the doctors and nurses and train them on how to use the app. Medium term is making the app accesible to the country where funding is required to follow up on the app’s progress and updating it to suit the patients,similarly for long term which is to go global where the app will be patients and monetary help is key in making this happen because B BRaun and the government of kenya are ready	https://youtu.be/wClwbrWGsEA	https://youtu.be/xNgvAMcXoqY	University of cambridge my little big thing competition-Finalist

Advancing the right of access to information is a joint responsibility between the government and its citizens. While the government must assure full and effective implementation and enforcement of the Freedom Of Information Act, it is up to the citizens to monitor government efforts and to use the law. But there is low citizens involvement/participation and awareness in the implementation in the right to access information as well in government.	It enable understand the important of the right to access information, basics of the Liberia FOI law and process to accessing information. Understand gender inequity in access information, challenges faced by women and potential solution. Know the Whats, Why, Who and How about the FOI (Liberia FOI Act) and use the law, Understand gender inequality and inequity in access to information,Challenges women faced and Ways to help addressed them. It supports the The right of access to information is a fundamental human right guaranteed by the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the African Charter on Human and People’s Rights, and it affect all persons irrespective of age, color, nationality. So Our long-term vision for global impact is to reach out in other countries with this work.	We are the citizens participatory approach, which allow citizens to take action for themselves and working government and stakeholders advance this right.

112	I am submitting a Solution to be considered for inclusion in UN Solutions Summit	Muhammed Dimma	Mawejje	Mawejje Creations	mawejjecreations.wordpress.com	Founder/Director	Male	Uganda	Uganda	English	In my community whenever bananas are harvested, they only consider the fruit leaving out the stem to rot, After discovering that banana plantations are more than food we eat, but it poses a hidden treasure know us fibers which can be used in different innovations with all that i realised that people are seeing no value in banana waste especially after harvesting the fruit in the community i do come from.There was lack of proper knowledge on how to add value to banana waste in the community thus i saw the need to openly talk about and address this problem with my passion for banana fiber. This motivated me to go through research and training at Texfad in banana fiber technology & innovations where I learnt how i can add value to banana waste most especially the stems and trunks and i came up with Mawejje Creations a social enterprise which aims at developing affordable banana fiber products to reduce banana waste, enabling banana growers earn extra incomes to sustain themselves while creating jobs opportunities for women and girls in rural communities of Uganda. Recently I and my team we trained Mukono banana grower's community on how to extract fibers from wasted banana stems with positive results that excited them from discovering the material and innovations developed from the banana waste they had been dumping and apparently we are working on memorandum of understanding (MOU) with community to enable us reach more banana growers in the country, have trained, 20 youths and 10 women from different communities on how they can utilise the material found in wasted stems as per now they are able to sustain them selves with small amount they earn from their products they make out of fibers. We have tought community on how to manage waste hence reducing carbon emissions caused by banana waste. we didn't stop from there, applied in for scholarship where I was shortlisted from thousand application and managed to win a scholarship award plus 3 month business mentor-ship in design thinking and structure. To mention but few, being that banana framers are our primary customers, we have empowered them on how to turn waste into sustainable material where by they even sale the banana fibers to people who are using it to develop various products and innovations. With more knowledge i have about waste, i was assigned as local mentor at SINA.	I’m Mawejje Muhammed Dimma a Ugandan by nationality. I’m a professional chef and a specialist in waste management living in Kampala. A social entrepreneur passionate about social change, innovation and banana fiber value addition with over 3 years experience in this field. I have worked with a number of companies in the waste management sector which has shaped me to be resilient in this industry.I’m also chef and operations manager of Rafiki catering service and team leader of Mawejje Creations.	Banana Fiber Extraction	Extract,Create & Earn From Banana Waste	Goal 1. End poverty in all its forms everywhere \| Goal 8. Promote sustained, inclusive and sustainable economic growth, full and productive employment and decent work for all \| Goal 13. Take urgent action to combat climate change and its impacts	Uganda	Yes	Youth Organisations, Stuff members, Community leaders and Banana growers	Proof of Concept	For above,from the trainings and Research we have carried out through out. We have engaged community members and banana growers on how valuable it is when it comes to banana fiber extraction and waste management.	Over 10 million hectares of Banana plantation, with an average of 1500 plants per hectare, exist in more than 160 countries globally, Uganda produce about 9 million tons of banana production annually, creating tons of waste in form of stem and stocks, which have been left over to decompose and rot hence emitting gas emissions with negative impact on the environment, which increases global warming every year.	With approach of adding value to banana waste, we directly engage banana growers in chain of production as they extract banana waste to get fibers, sale them to us in due course they earn extra income to sustain themselves while creating jobs opportunities for disadvantaged youth and women in rural communities of Uganda through banana fiber production, hands-on skills training, developing affordable banana fiber products to reduce banana waste to have acarbon free emission environment in Uganda and the entire global. We envision to be the leading company in Uganda and Africa improving livelihood of banana growers through recycling banana waste into products of value.	There different apporaches used by different innovators but at Mawejje Creations we develop different home textiles which inculde table marts,cushion,rugs and on other hand we in research on how we can develop banana fiber fabricswe also use these fibers to make banana papers for package. through the process of extracting these banana fibers there wastes which remain behind, we use them to make charcoal briquttes for cooking hence saving the enviroment. We directly engage the local farmers and youths in rural communities in creativity, recycling of banana waste into banana fiber, income generation without using a chain of middle men. It is also unquestionably the best among existing solution that turn banana waste focusing on developing affordable banana fiber products,income generating activity and job creation with both social & enviromental impact. Conventionally, the banana fibre is extracted through a cumbersome manual process, wherein the pseudo stem sheaths are scraped and the fibre is separated by using a metal scraper (flat and blunt blade). In this manner, just about 500 gm can be extracted. On the other hand machine can designed in a very simple way such that it can be used by everyone, as the mechanism is very simple but we are yet there since we extract manually.	We are a team of 5 who are passionate about change, waste management,value addition and youth unemployment in the region. Alituha God; degree in procurement with 5years of experience in Business management &Book keeping Annet Namuyaba; certificate in fashion&design,certificate in applied social innovations with 2years in garment making Isa Kyakonye; certificate in mass communication&journalism with 2years in sales&marketing Moses Ssenda; degree in textile and garment making with 25years in weaving & textile Muhammed Dimma; Certificate in hotel&hospitality,certificate in Business incubation,Banana fiber extraction and technology with 8years experience in chafing,3 years in banana fiber innovations& product development. The team is based on love and passion towards the change and impact in the community and composed with different profession, education background and vocational skills. Training has been of a practical nature, as team members were trained and equipped with different team building skills and others and as a result, each has a good working skills of the whole production process. There is therefore a lot of specialization. Apart from the various tasks, Most of the members work part since some work doesn't need physical appearance&we believe in a team where everyone achieves more and no one is above the other.	We want to establish Mawejje Creations as a socially and environmentally minded social enterprise through up scaling & utilization of sustainable resources for job creation among youth and women groups, i.e. empowerment and employment schemes. Look for ways to repilcate our module in three districts,theres provision of 5 tonnes of banana fiber,establishing 3 extracting centers in our new pilot districts. We will acquire a heavy duty banana fibre recycling machine which will be supplied to banana growers at micro credit, that will increase on the volume of production to serve the increasing demand of our products. This means increases in employees and efficiency hence improved product quality and reduction in unemployment. At least 3% of banana growers knowing how turn banana waste into products of values and start to generate enough income to support themselves and their families. 200 lives of women and girls in rural communities of Uganda being positively impacted through our services, production and the selling of recycled banana fiber products in 2 years to come. 500 jobs opportunities being created out of banana waste to alleviate in rural communities of Uganda.	Currently our production is still at low capacity due to use of manual extraction where its hindering/limiting us to wider impact at the moment and labour intensive. So to over come that we need automated machines to extract bananana waste in banana fibers. Another great barrier is financial constraint for us to diversity our services in rural communities for this case we are looking potential funder and grants. We also have challenging of marketing our products&service since most people are ignorant about banana fiber innovations,value addition and most of them tend to think that its sisal!. In nutshell we are looking for machines,funds and places where to showcase our solution for wider audiences.	https://mawejjecreations.wordpress.com https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC1OEENxcRLaXexZkbTg3Nxg https://drive.google.com/file/d/1UPDvYlPCledimN4ZdGgQKqaKZI79yauM/view?usp=drivesdk https://m.facebook.com/Mawejjecreations	https://youtu.be/RfC4TJffkJA	Finalist Young African Leaders Awards 2019 organized by African Youth Architects.

I was very much found of UN and its organizations and want to learn and work how they work. When I came to know about the summit, without looking here and there I clicked on it and just submitted this form. Because with its catchy and unique name 'UN and Innovation"" gives it a look that it will suffice all the things. Being an MD of Housekeeping Services I started this company for earning some pennies which leads me to hire employees and make them able to earn their livelihood. I not only hire employees but train them so that they can open their too. By this problem I want to reach on global levels and go to every nook and corner to make people able to work for them and able to surprise the society with new technologies.

114	I am submitting a Solution to be considered for inclusion in UN Solutions Summit	Patrick	Sseremba	Sseremba Healthcare Innovation Lab	www.shcilab.org	CEO	Male	Uganda	Uganda	English	My name is Dr. Sseremba Patrick a Ugandan citizen. At the age of 16, I lost my father due to respiratory distress- a common complication of malaria among the population. So many people have lost lives due to malaria and its complications. According to World Health Organization, Africa loses 300 people everyday due to malaria and majority of these are pregnant women and children below 5 years of age. This is why I created TRICK-The Malaria Bot. An artificial intelligence mobile software to diagnose, treat and prescribe medication for malaria. It does this using machine learning technology and photo magnetic self-testing kit clipped on the finger. The procedure does not involve withdraw of blood from the patient but has 98% accuracy. I have made posters for delivery of the traditional malaria testing kits and I received about 540 calls from different persons who would wish to test and treat malaria from home. However, there only worry was pain following pricking using needle from the testing kits. The common malaria testing and diagnostic strategies have lost sensitivity due to the rapid evolution of the parasites and hence new approaches to diagnostic and treatment aid are needed. In the health centres I worked in, I worked on over 1000 patients in a period of 4 months but 70% of the tests performed by the laboratory were negative yet patient exhibited signs and symptoms of malaria. The patients were managed with anti-malarial drugs and improved. This prompted the need for an effective diagnostic strategy to solve malaria cases. Malaria kills more people on the African continent than HIV, cancer and diabetes combined.	Patrick Sseremba is a 22-year-old Ugandan-born based farmer, writer, politician, activist, IT expert, social media marketer and influencer, a programmer and a motivation speaker. He is a finalist in the 2019 Tony Elumelu Foundation award and social impact award 2019. Over the last four years, he has worked in a variety of professionals in both private and public sector despite being an undergraduate student doing bachelors in medicine and dental surgery. He earned his certificates in counselling at Kisubi University, IT and networking at IIHT institute as well as online certification in programming. Patrick has published many books in fields of science and agriculture. He is an ambitious agri-preneur as well a dentist in making. He has established an online mobile clinic (Sseremba dental care) where he offers mobile dental services to people on call. In addition, he manages some small scale businesses around town. He is passionate about exploring and learning new things, through searching for knowledge in workshops, seminars and conferences about digital world and agriculture.	Trick- The Malaria Bot	A bloodless malaria testing kit and an artificial intelligence mobile app to test, diagnose and prescribe medication for malaria.	Goal 3. Ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all at all ages	Uganda	No		Research & Development	I am in talks with developers and various departments under ministry of health to construct the minimum visible product. The timeline has been drafted and initial tests of the technology have been carried out in other countries.	1. Lack of access to malaria diagnostic aids in rural areas. 2. Increased mortality rates due to malaria in sub-Saharan Africa. 3. Failure of traditional laboratory practices to detect malaria parasites. Malaria, according to WHO, affected 217 million people in 2017 and an estimated 435000 people died globally. Drug-resistant malaria is becoming an increasingly significant threat in Africa and the search for new diagnostic approaches are becoming increasingly urgent.	TRICK- The Malaria Bot We are creating 1. An artificial intelligence mobile application to test, diagnose and prescribe medication for malaria and fever. 2. A self-testing kit that does not require blood samples. Magnetism and light have been combined in a test that can diagnose malaria in under two minutes without the need to take blood. We need to use light and magnetism to differentiate between the blood of an infected and a healthy person. Unlike ‘gold standard’ tests that work by detecting molecules produced by the malaria parasite, our application deploys polarised light to detect hemozoin crystals, which are by-products excreted by the malaria parasite. It does this in less than two minutes—four times the speed of the fastest among current tests on the market. The results are sent from the device, which clips onto a patient’s finger, to a mobile phone. “It’s just plug and play,” The real key here is that it doesn’t require a blood sample, so a patient could potentially test for the disease on their own, at home.	We are different from other approaches on the market by the following strategies: 1. Bloodless malaria testing Verses Blood testing. Our major competitors are medical laboratories which use traditional microscopic approach to malaria diagnostic aids which offer a high failure rate producing so many false positives tests. Our solution offers a bloodless malaria testing strategy. 2. Artificial intelligence verses Human doctors. Our product utilizes artificial intelligence technology for consultation, diagnosis and prescription of medication which is competing with human doctors. The Malaria Bot acts as an automated scientist that does not just take a ‘brute force’ approach, but rather take an intelligent approach to science and medical diagnostics. It will therefore minimize errors that are common in medical diagnostics.	We have entered partnership with developers from India who will work on the project for 3 months period. We have lobbed funding from venture capitalists and investors to aid in development of the project. We have received approval from ministry of health to go on with the intended project. We have designed the project framework. We have registered our company. We have established a website for the project www.shcilab.org We have carried out research from previous projects to know how better to im prove ours.	The sub-Saharan Africa is at a greatest threat of malaria cases. Therefore we target to expand to all countries under Africa starting with the neighboring Kenya, DRC, Tanzania, Rwanda and Burundi. The project is projected to save over 10000 people annually who die from misdiagnosis and lack of correct treatment protocols. We are planning to recruit Village Health Trainees (VHTs) who possess these self testing kits to move in remote areas and help underprivileged persons who lack finances and access to smart phones. We will partner with government agencies to make our product a public consumption modality.	1. Funding to improve on research and development and on the technology precision. 2. Partnership from competent firms and organizations to advance my project. 3. Training and skilling of my team members. SHORT TERM NEEDS: 1. Funds to make product. 2. Technology improvement. MEDIUM TERM NEEDS: 1. Approval from WHO to use product as treatment modality. 2. Partnership. LONG TERM NEEDS: 1. Funds to sustain the project. 2. Multi-sectorial collaboration. 3.

115	I am submitting a Solution to be considered for inclusion in UN Solutions Summit	Joan	Nandiri	Oasis Peace Web Organization	https://www.oasispeaceweb.org/	Lawyer/ social entrepreneur/ innovator	Female	Kenya	Kenya	English	I would lie to be part of the UN Solutions Summit where I wish to present a project. I am a changemaker who strongly believes that the attainment of the Vision 2030 United Nations 17 Sustainable Development Goals will be a clear road map to enhancing human prosperity/ dignity, achieving global peace and ensuring a healthy planet. Through my various youth led/ run initiatives, I work to advance attainment of various SDGs. In 2016, I established a youth initiative called 'Khola' in Lugari sub-county. This was in urgent response to the high youth unemployment rate. The major reason for this issue is that the youth in my country overly depend on 'white collar' jobs that are overstretched and scarce. In creating this initiative, my goal was to transform youth mindsets, engage and empower them to explore alternative income generating avenues. Since 2016, we have worked with and impacted on the lives of 779. We have done so through training in business/ entrepreneurship, skill development and talent tapping. The Summit will advance the work of my team and convene resources and talent around us. I wish to interact/ network with solution-makers to draw guidance from and be inspired by them. I would like to obtain mentorship from the great minds that will be present. I would like to test my creativity, present my solution and obtain knowledge that will catapult me to move it from the research and development stage to proof of concept, transition to scale and be ready for scaling phase.	My name is Joan Elizabeth Nandiri, a vibrant young Kenyan lawyer and social entrepreneur. I am deeply passionate about social justice, economic empowerment of youth and gender related issues. Growing up in a community that was rooted in patriarchy, I could not view myself as anything more than a human belonging to the ‘weaker’ gender. Education and high achieving women have awakened me to the realization that I am more; a leader and changemaker. I am an alumni of Young Africa Leaders Initiative (YALI), a program that equipped me with leadership, effective communication as well as social entrepreneurship skills. I am a Global Peace Ambassador by Global Peace Chain and a certified World Peace Agent by World Peace Initiative. In December 2018, I was privileged to be selected by Transparency International alongside 8 other young Africans to take part in a program dubbed; 'Young African Social Entrepreneurs Tackling Land corruption'. I am currently working with widows in Lugari, Western Kenya, educating them on their rights and easing access to justice. l am a writer and poet who uses literary work to highlight the plight of women in Africa. I am the founder of Khola Youth Initiative, co-founder of Amani Community-based Organization and a programs officer at Oasis Peace Web Organization. My youth led/run initiative 'Khola' is coined around empowering the youth with the goal of alleviating unemployment and draws guidance from SDG 8. I move beyond parochialism to create real change.	CELLULOSE MANUFACTURING PLANTS FOR ECONOMIC EMPOWERMENT	THE CELLU- 'LIGHT' KEY TO ECONOMIC EMPOWERMENT	Goal 1. End poverty in all its forms everywhere \| Goal 8. Promote sustained, inclusive and sustainable economic growth, full and productive employment and decent work for all \| Goal 9. Build resilient infrastructure, promote inclusive and sustainable industrialization and foster innovation	Kenya and Uganda	No		Research & Development	We went through a rigorous ideation phase where we brainstormed solutions to the widespread youth unemployment rate in Kenya and Uganda. A number of solutions were proposed;there was a general agreement that an innovation centered on readily available raw material would be most suitable. We agreed on cellulose manufacturing plants as cellulose is probably the most abundant organic compound on earth. We are yet to develop a proof of concept but are at the important research and development stage.	In mid 2018, my team conducted a community needs assessment survey that revealed that 7 out of every 10 youth in Lugari sub-county, Western Kenya are unemployed. This state has led to an evident slur in the economic development of communities and widespread poverty consequently. Our solution seeks to create employment opportunities for people in rural communities, to empower them economically, enable them develop their communities and aid in the global efforts to progressively alleviate poverty.	Cellulose is the substance that makes up most of a plant’s cell walls, it probably is the most abundant organic compound on earth. Cellulose can be used in making paper products, cotton, linen and rayon for clothes. This polymer has also been found to have versatile uses in many industries such as veterinary foods, wood and paper, fibers and clothes as well as cosmetic and pharmaceutical industries. It is incredible that even cellulose from weeds (such as the water hyacinth found on Lake Victoria, Kenya) has been found to contain properties that can be processed into useful products like biodegradable plastic. Due to the abundance of this product, cellulose manufacturing plants can be set up in as many rural communities as possible. These plants will create job opportunities for rural dwellers; provide them with income to aid in global efforts of poverty alleviation.These industrial plants will also play a major role in the development of rural communities in terms of improving infrastructure, enhancing the delivery of public goods and services, boosting trade and establishing facilities such as schools, health centers and water points.A complete Cellulose Manufacturing Plant will have the following features; mixers, granulators and reactors for converting cellulose into cellulose derivatives or products to sell to other industries. Our long-term vision for global impact is to expand this impact to all rural communities in Africa to create opportunities and alleviate poverty.	These solution is unique in that its problem solving approach has a multi-faceted dimension. It offers employment opportunities to the rural folk; in doing so, it contributes directly to the economic development of these rural communities and is crucial to the global efforts of poverty alleviation. It is also unique because the abundance of its raw material, cellulose, has made it possible to establish these plants in all the rural communities.Rural dwellers no longer have to travel to urban and semi-urban areas in search of job opportunities.The rural dwellers will fully embrace these as there will be the general feeling that these industries belong to them and that they have been set up to improve their livelihood. These allows for these industries to thrive in welcoming environments. The other unique aspect is that the raw material is readily available and can be acquired free of charge.	We are past the ideation phase and currently at the research and development stage.	We wish to partner with/ recruit into our team institutions/ individuals with expertise in assembling plants, a good number of engineers. To be in line with all legal requirements, we wish to bring on board a team of certified legal officers.We will benefit immensely from guidance and mentorship of leading global manufacturers and industrialists from whom we hope to learn, reshape and perfect our solution. Our starting point will be the rural communities within Kakamega County of Western Kenya. From here, In a year's time, we wish to expand our impact to select rural areas spread across local communities in the other counties of Kenya (except Nairobi County). In two years time, our vision is to grow our impact to the neighboring Uganda. We will launch the establishment of cellulose manufacturing plants to select rural communities in Uganda. Our 5 year goal is to have grown our impact in at least all the African countries. Our vision is to transform millions of lives of people living in rural areas in Africa. We shall do this by establishing cellulose manufacturing plants whose raw material, cellulose, is probably the most abundant on earth. From these plants, people will earn income either as plant operators, experts, technicians, employees, casual laborers, middle men, strategists, business people and so many more opportunities. Rural communities shall develop economically, employment/ income generating activities will be assured and poverty will be alleviated progressively.	We will need funds to set up these plants in rural communities of Kakamega County, Western Kenya. We will need machinery and certain chemicals that will enable us to transform cellulose derivatives into finished products that can be sold to markets directly or sold to other industries for further processing. Human resource is very crucial to the success of this solution.These resources are key needs both short-term, medium-term and long-term.	https://www.google.com/search?q=cellulose+manufacturing+equipment&tbm=isch&source=iu&ictx=1&fir=Zu7uIWy4L6HK1M%253A%252CEKJWHh11XWsHoM%252C_&vet=1&usg=AI4_-kShyBUn1-kYMrWJ9tKGuK3HGSi_xA&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwiUgYfthdbjAhXjyYUKHfnRA8AQ9QEwD3oECAQQBg&biw=1280&bih=689#imgrc=rzLNkPk7-bZjLM:&vet=1	Not applicable	None
