Mirna Mahdy (MSA University) Egypt

I am an economics graduate from MSA University with a strong interest in sustainable development, public policy, and African development challenges. My academic focus centers on the intersection of food insecurity, water stress, and corruption, particularly in fragile contexts across Africa. Through my graduation project, I explored how these issues interact and how youth-led local initiatives can contribute to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), especially SDGs 2, 6, and 16. I am passionate about empowering young people to lead change within their communities and bridging the gap between global goals and local realities. I aim to pursue a career in international development, public sector reform, or policy research, where I can contribute to building more inclusive, resilient, and accountable systems.
