Grand Challenges Canada: Creating Hope in Conflict

Posted by Jaq-Lin Larder on July 24, 2023 in Research Funding

The partners funding this call are seeking innovations intended for conflict-affected communities that address challenges or seek to improve service provision in the following focus areas:

  • Access to Energy
  • Access to lifesaving Information
  • Access to Health Supplies and Services

This call will fund up to 20 seed projects with CAD $250,000 each, along with general acceleration support, over a maximum period of twenty-four (24) months starting from April 2024.

Applications must demonstrate meaningful input from the affected communities they seek to serve, and preference will be given to solutions that are owned by local humanitarian actors who are from the conflict-affected communities they aim to serve.
