The U.S. Agency for International Development, the UK Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office, the Government of the Netherlands Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and Global Affairs Canada, with support from Grand Challenges Canada, are partnering on Creating Hope in Conflict: A Humanitarian Grand Challenge.
We seek bold, life-saving or life-improving innovations that better meet the needs of the most vulnerable and hardest-to-reach people impacted by humanitarian crises caused by conflict.
We will prioritize funding locally-owned innovations that are closest to those affected by conflict, and which can demonstrate the benefits of more localized ways of responding to humanitarian crises.
Innovations that have the potential to bring about wider systems-level influences or changes to the way humanitarian assistance is delivered will be favoured.
Selected grantees will receive up to CAD $250,000 in seed funding to develop, test, and refine their innovations.
Proposed innovations must be relevant to one of three focus areas:
Access to energy:Innovations that enable equitable and affordable access to climate-smart solutions and/or renewable energy products or services for the most vulnerable populations affected by conflict.
Access to lifesaving information:Innovations that improve reliability and safety of critical or lifesaving information and/or improve two-way communication.
Access to health supplies and services:Innovations that address barriers related to inadequate healthcare infrastructure, healthcare workers’ skills, and limitations of existing disease surveillance and response.
