myIMPACT stands for “Intervarsity Malaysia Public Policy Advocacy Competition” – a national-level competition that aims to stimulate young minds in Malaysia to formulate and propose credible policy recommendations related to environmental protection and climate action aligned to the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Throughout the process, the competition is aspired to raise awareness on the importance of public policy in shaping the country’s future, and promote collaboration between relevant stakeholders.
Evaluate existing approaches taken to preserve the environment.
Design the outline for solid actions to close the gaps from existing approaches.
Follow through on the course of actions towards environmental restoration.
myIMPACT essentially comprises 3 main components:
Policy Brief, Policy Pitch, and Policy Campaign. Participants will be shortlisted from policy brief submissions and will be required to pitch their policy recommendation. The best groups will run a campaign to raise awareness and secure public voting. Finalists will be presenting to the stakeholders and one group will emerge as myIMPACT champion for 2022.
