HIVOS URBAN FUTURES

*HIVOS URBAN FUTURES* The Urban Futures Project, a groundbreaking initiative by Hivos and the Botnar Foundation, is revolutionizing urban food systems for inclusivity and climate resilience. Set in motion in Mutare, Zimbabwe, the project is driven by a dynamic consortium comprising Green Governance Trust, National Association of Youth Organizations (NAYO), and Manica Youth Assembly (MAYA). Through a multi-stakeholder approach involving local authorities, youth organizations, and various experts, the project is creating pathways for young people to voice their priorities, influence decision-making, and drive positive change in the food sector. By fostering cross-sectoral learning and implementing best practices, the project aims to contribute to the Sustainable Development Goals, particularly SDG 11 (Make cities inclusive, safe, resilient, and sustainable) and SDG 13 (Climate Action)
