Dhaka OIC Youth Capital is calling upon the Muslim youth to join the “Scout Conference for Sustainable Development” to showcase their skills and propose innovative solutions for the betterment of not only their countries but the OIC region as well. You can apply to join the conference and submit your project to win one of the 24 awards.
The Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) region consists of more than 1.2 billion Muslims and 1/3 of it is constituted by youth. The main reason of the OIC Youth Capital International Programme is to provide a yearlong stage to foster cooperation among the Member States in the field of youth policy as well as enhancing Muslim youth solidarity, fostering inter-cultural diversity and the spirit of “unity” of youth from the OIC geography through different kinds of activities. Bangladesh was announced as the “OIC Youth Capital 2020” marking a significant recognition for the leadership of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina and her spirited Government in the youth sector.
