This Resource Package was compiled by the UNDP Arab States Innovation Team in response to needs expressed by young social innovators that UNDP works with as part of the Youth Leadership Programme and other regional initiatives. The non-exhaustive list of resources can be helpful for innovators of all kinds – entrepreneurs, intrapreneurs, social activists, and changemakers – as they move from idea to implementation to impact. The Resource Package identifies innovative tools and platforms in six categories:

1. Networking and Ideas Exchange
2. Financing
3. Challenges & Competitions, Incubators & Accelerators
4. Mentorship
5. Training 
6. Technical Support
