These finalists will then compete in a final pitch event, where a jury will announce the winner, as well as the first and second runners-up. The winners will receive cash prizes of XAF 3 million, 2 million, and 1.5 million, respectively.
The Cameroon PachiPanda Innovation Challenge is part of a broader Pan-African Innovation Challenge, a joint effort by MTN and WWF to inspire and support innovative solutions that address pressing environmental issues across the continent.
