This book is launched at a side event at the World Bank Group–International Monetary Fund Annual Meetings in Bali, Indonesia, in October 2018, at which the winning teams present their proposals. The previous versions of this book have been used as teaching tools at undergraduate and graduate classes at Wharton as well as at several other schools throughout the world. In these classrooms, students had the opportunity to comment on the winning proposals and to share their ideas with the winning teams. To facilitate the use of the book, teaching notes will be made available to interested academics. It is our hope that I4A will help the World Bank Group and other development partners recognize young people with bright ideas so they can participate more fully in solving the world’s greatest challenges. Thus, by encouraging the next generation of global leaders to think beyond the existing approaches to development issues, we can help innovative solutions germinate and take root.
