The WFF PDC is your opportunity to streamline policy and skill-building into the WFF network and beyond. Here, you’ll have the chance to make your voice heard on crucial policy matters related to the World Food Forum’s year-long theme.
Benefits
- Finalist teams present and deliberate their proposals in front of a panel of topic experts and Rome-based UN agency staff. All participants will receive a certificate and have a chance to win other exciting prizes.
Eligibility
- Open to young, policy-oriented leaders, as well as innovative students and researchers, to share their bold policy solutions and ideas with a wider audience.
- You can register as a team or as an individual. If you choose to register individually, they will team you up with up to three like-minded individuals, fostering diversity and collaborative innovation. Once your teams are formed, you will attend a skill-building workshop led by the WFF team. FAO representatives will provide essential insights into FAO’s current initiatives, ensuring a strong knowledge foundation for the competition. You will then submit your initial written submission through which you will present your idea.
