Ban Ki-moon Centre for Global Citizens (BKMC) Youth AgriChampions 2025: (Deadline 24 march, 2025)
Applications are open for the Ban Ki-moon Centre for Global Citizens (BKMC) Youth AgriChampions 2025. The Ban Ki-moon Centre for Global Citizens (BKMC) is proud to host the 4th edition of the Youth AgriChampions – a Peer2Peer workshop series on climate adaptation in agriculture.
The initiative brings together youth grassroot voices from the world of smallholder farming and agricultural entrepreneurship in Ghana, Kenya, Nigeria, Rwanda and Zambia, to share their on-the-ground experience with adapting their practices to climate change. During the workshops, the BKMC Youth AgriChampions will develop a youth demand paper to be elevated by BKMC Co-chair and 8th Secretary-General of the UN, Ban Ki-moon, in his advocacy work. This year’s thematic focus will be on locally-led adaptation for smallholder farming.
In the past years, selected Youth AgriChampions joined the BKMC delegation on the ground at the African Food System Forum in Rwanda and COP29 in Azerbaijan to launch the Youth AgriChampions Demand Paper and represent farmers’ voices around the world.
Benefits
- Upon successful completion of the workshop series, participants are awarded certificates signed by Ban Ki-moon himself and become part of the ever-growing BKMC Youth AgriChampions Alumni Network.
