This award competition, organized by the Independent Office of Evaluation of the International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD), the Independent Evaluation Group of the World Bank, and the International Development Evaluation Association, recognizes the growing understanding of the need to transform our societies, our economies, and our relationship with nature to be able to achieve the aspirations expressed in the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and the Paris Agreement.

The winner in each award category will receive a monetary award of US$ 5,000 and a certificate and will be invited to write a chapter in an IDEAS publication after the Global Assembly.
