AIIDEV Africa has launched Cohort 4 of the AIIDEV Africa Teach4SDGs Cohort 4 program, aiming to promote sustainable development and educate the future generation about the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

This approach aims to promote sustainable development, raise awareness, and encourage action towards achieving the SDGs.
