Participation is open until 10 October 2024.
ESCWA is launching the fourth cycle of the ESCWA Digital Arabic Content Award for Sustainable Development, in collaboration with the World Summit Awards (WSA). The Award recognizes the best digital Arabic content products that relate to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
The Award is open to institutions and young entrepreneurs from Arab countries that have created digital Arabic content applications or projects with a clear impact on society.
- Institutions can be public, private, academic, civil society, or non-governmental, or other stakeholders with existing products that support the achievement of the SDGs.
- Young entrepreneurs can be start-up founders, or teams of young people or individuals where at least one of the founders and most of the team are younger than 35 years old.
Project submission and evaluation is done through a WSA dedicated platform and is based on the Award rules and conditions that are set and/or revised for each cycle by the Award steering committee. A jury of experts from the Arab region conducts the evaluation, and the Award winner projects are announced during a special session of the 2025 annual Arab Forum for Sustainable Development.
