Challenge Fund Second Round Winners

In August 2016, the Second Round of the Challenge Fund was launched, focusing on key challenges identi ed in the Solving the Puzzle report, with an emphasis on high-impact activities that will promote the creation and use of risk-related data and a better understanding the needs of end users.

Project proposals were required demonstrate how their project(s) can be piloted locally in two countries and scaled regionally to demonstrate the potential to be applied at a global scale. Three pilot projects have been launched focusing on Africa and Central and South Asia, with winners expected to be announced by early 2017.
