Global Resilience Challenge Grant Competition
The Global Resilience Challenge is a grant competition focused on
developing and implementing locally-driven, high-impact solutions
that build resilience in the Sahel, the Horn of Africa, and South and
Southeast Asia. The Challenge recognizes that solutions for building
resilience are as diverse and interrelated as the problems themselves
from chronic malnutrition and health shockss, to climate change, to
economic and political instabilities, and other vulnerabilities.
THE CHALLENGE WILL OPERATE IN THREE STAGES:
Stage 1:Diverse, cross-sectoral, multi-disciplinary teams assemble
and apply with a pre-proposal that identifies the critical obstacles
to building resilience (Deadline November 21, 2014). Teams who best
demonstrate an understanding of their region and the commitment,
creativity, and capacity of their members to address barriers to
resilience will be invited to advance to the next stage.
Stage 2:Selected teams will receive funding to further develop their
problem statement and construct a bold, scalable and sustainable
solution for Stage 3 funding. Also during this stage, selected
problem statements will be made public and new teams will be invited
to enter the competition with proposed solutions for a subset of
Stage 3 funding.
Stage 3:The most innovative, high impact and transformative solutions
will receive funding for implementation and teams will have the
chance to turn their ideas into reality. For details, refer to
