IDEO/UK Government Grant Challenge 2017 | Women and Youth in Conflict and Disaster Areas

by OFA

Application Deadline: September 17th 2017

The challenge, which is supported by the UK Government, is looking for viable solutions from organizations and leaders on how the aid sector can deliver comprehensive sexual and reproductive health services to women and girls displaced by conflict and disaster. Later in September, we are also running a challenge in partnership with UNFPA around youth engagement and the SDGs.

  • Have at least one year of experience working in the country in which the idea is to be implemented.

  • Have at least one year of experience working in the sector within which the idea is focused.

  • Will be implemented in one or more of the 32 eligible countries (Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Burma, Democratic Republic of Congo, Ethiopia, India, Iraq, Ghana, Jordan, Kenya, Kyrgyzstan, Lebanon, Liberia, Malawi, Mozambique, Nepal, Nigeria, Occupied Palestinian Territories, Pakistan, Rwanda, Sierra Leone, Somalia, South Africa, South Sudan, Sudan, Syria, Tajikistan, Tanzania, Uganda, Yemen, Zambia, Zimbabwe).

WINNING IDEAS
