CAPSI Africa launches Pan-African Youth Competition – with US$32 000 to give for something cool.

The Centre on African Philanthropy and Social Investment (CAPSI) at Wits University has launched a Pan-African Youth Competition – and there is a prize to be won by African youth who can do something cool.

Youth-led teams and organisations (18–35 years) are invited to create innovative outputs that make research findings on dignified and fulfilling work more engaging and accessible to young audiences across the continent.

Prize:

•⁠ US$32 000 awarded to four winning proposals, representing Southern Africa, East Africa, North Africa, and West Africa.

NB: The amount is $32,000 per team (Southern Africa, East Africa, North Africa, and West Africa), which brings the total to $128,000 overall.

Shortlisted candidates will be interviewed and asked to present samples of their proposed work. Applications may be submitted in English, French, Portuguese, or Arabic.

“This competition provides African youth with resources and a platform to tell stories that matter in their own voices,” says Professor Bhekinkosi Moyo, Director of CAPSI Africa.
