CALL FOR APPLICATIONS
2010 Global Development Awards and Medals Competition
The Japanese Award for Most Innovative Development Project is a competitive grant program administered by the Global Development Network (GDN) that provides an opportunity to development projects being executed in the field with the ability to scale up their work through a grant of US$ 30,000 for the first prize, and US$ 5000 for the second. Winners are also eligible to compete under Japan Social Development Fund for a grant of up to $200,000 for their work.
The grants are awarded to organizations that are carrying out original and innovative work in the field to promote holistic development. GDN has certain criteria (see below) which competing projects are measured against. The winners are then chosen by an eminent jury at the final event. This event is also GDN’s Annual Conference, with an audience of over 500 practitioners in the field of development to whom the finalists present their work. This year, the 12th Annual Global Development Conference will be held in Bogotá, Columbia in January 2011. The travel and stay for finalists will be funded by GDN.
