The 2025 Laureates
During the first decision-making session of the Executive Committee in April 2025, one project was selected under the Transition Fund:

The setec Foundation is supporting the project with a grant of €20,000, dedicated to training around thirty young people—aged 16 to 28—in Senegal, 70% of whom are young women. The training focuses on high-potential careers and sectors identified in advance, or on self-employment opportunities.
