For many years I4A has been closely partnering with the African Region (AFR) Vice Presidency of the World Bank. I4A is an important building block of the AFR Youth Strategy. In 2018, over 300 proposals were submitted from the Democratic Republic of Congo. At the event in Kinshasa the top 5% of the proposals were recognized by the government.

Under the leadership role of the MENA Vice President at the World Bank, as well as in partnership with local young leaders, the I4A is making an impressive expansion in several countries, in particular Egypt and Jordan.
