DIV Fund Grants for Evidence Driven Innovations in Low and Middle Income Countries
An open innovation fund backs pilots, rigorous testing and large-scale expansion of solutions that measurably improve the lives of people living in poverty. Non-profits, social enterprises, businesses, universities and research institutions may all apply, and proposals are accepted on a rolling basis throughout the year rather than against a closing date. Projects must address a challenge in a low- or middle-income country, which covers most of the Middle East and North Africa.
