In celebration of International Youth Day, IFDC is recognizing several youth champions who are making a difference in various sectors.

This year’s theme, “Local Youth Actions for the SDGs and Beyond,” highlights the role young people play in bringing the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) to life at the local level, transforming global ambitions into real, community-driven impact.

Across the countries where we work, youth are leading the way, developing agribusinesses, improving soil health, increasing productivity, and strengthening their communities from the ground up.
