We are now in our FINAL week for Ideas for Action 2019! With just seven days left we are overwhelmed by the incredible energy thus far.  We would like to take this opportunity to give a special thank you to our I4A clubs in Africa and Egypt.  Their tireless work is behind our tremendous success in both Africa and MENA regions with Nigeria, Egypt, and Uganda currently the top three countries in the world by application volume!

As we mentioned in the previous newsletter, the I4A Club of Africa has been incredibly busy putting on three idea labs in these final weeks in Benin, Uganda, and Ghana.  Please take a second to check out the write-up and photos from Benin on our blog in both
English and French.


This week's Social Spotlight is Esunam Enterprises Nigeria. Learn about their locally sourced cooking palm oil below, and don't miss your chance to be considered for our next social spotlight of the week by sharing a picture, brief description, and/or video about your project on Twitter or Facebook with the hashtag #Ideas4Action2019.

Finally, we are excited to share the full ICCR Houston-India Conference video from a terrific lecture by Ideas for Action Co-Chair and Wharton’s Zicklin Center for Business Ethics Senior Fellow and Lecturer Djordjija Petkoski. 
Dr. Petkoski gives an inspiring call for sustainable investment in emerging markets like India, innovation beyond technology, finding your own legacy, and generational responsibility.  

Don't forget to mark your calendars for February 28, 2019: the I4A application deadline will be here in just a few days.  Be sure to register your I4A 2019 team today and submit your application as soon as your proposal is ready!
