Innovation for Development is defined as the process of designing, developing, and growing new ideas that help fix pressing unmet economic or technological development or social needs. Development challenges require innovative solutions, linking different actors and a collective tapping into bodies of knowledge and development solutions. Innovation can be a powerful mechanism for enabling youth and women, the private sector, government entities and civil society to come up with sustainable solutions for development challenges.
