To whom it concerns, The Global Resilience Partnership <http://www.globalresiliencepartnership.org/> has launched its Innovation Challenge <http://www.globalresiliencepartnership.org/innovation-challenge/> designed to identify and nurture novel examples of climate resilience. We are passing on this message as it's an opportunity which might interest your network. We have also attached a social media toolkit and graphics to this email which you can use to share the opportunity on social media with your network and interested organisations. *About the Challenge* GRP is looking for applications from organisations working on innovative solutions to build resilience at the intersection between three strategic areas: - Peace & Stability - Food & Water Security - Disaster Resilience Innovations must be designed for the Horn of Africa, the Sahel, South Asia or Southeast Asia. The potential scope of the innovations may be broad and can include product, services, technologies, methodologies, partnerships, or approaches. The challenge is open to organisations across public, private, local civil society, international NGOs, and academia as well applications from individual entities or consortia. Both experienced implementers as well as start-ups are eligible to apply. Challenge winners will receive mentorship support for a period of three months, technical advice, and media coverage through GRP’s communication team. They will also participate in an innovation workshop designed to “bring ideas to life and scale”, a Leadership Academy course facilitated by subject matter experts, and have the opportunity to network with potential funders. The application window is now open and closes on March 5th.
