Did you know that USAID can now give up to $500,000 in prize awards with minimal strings attached? By providing more direct funding to innovators, USAID is helping to break down barriers to localization and paving the way to greater results!
In this webinar, we will be joined by USAID’s Exploratory Programs and Innovation Competitions team for an interactive session to learn how pay-for-results prizes issued under USAID’s Innovation Incentive Award Authority can help USAID and its partners to identify measurable outcomes and incentivize solvers to achieve these results through a competitive process. During this session, you will explore the ways in which prize competitions are structured and when it makes sense to use them, learn about selecting audacious and achievable target outcomes and assessing solvers’ progress toward meeting them, and hear firsthand from USAID colleagues who have launched prize competitions to achieve their desired results.
