The Humanitarian Grand Challenge’s goal is to find and accelerate life-saving or life-improving innovations to help the most vulnerable and hardest-to-reach people impacted by humanitarian crises caused by conflict. Funding is worth $250,000 for seed innovations, and up to $1,000,000 for Transition To Scale innovations.
We seek innovations to help conflict-affected people, that provide, supply, or locally generate:
- safe water and sanitation;
- energy;
- life-saving information; and/or
- health services and supplies.
Creating Hope in Conflict: A Humanitarian Grand Challenge is a partnership of the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), the U.K. Department for International Development (DFID), the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Netherlands, with support from Grand Challenges Canada.
