The Call for ORD Reviewers ends on September 8, 2023.
 

II. The Japanese Award for Most Innovative Development Project 2023

We invite NGOs and CSOs to submit project proposals supporting (in particular) improved service delivery, and innovative approaches that may be scaled-up through a grant.

The awards will be given to organizations whose projects embody an innovative approach to an important development need and hold the greatest promise for:

• responding directly to the needs of the poorest and most vulnerable, underserved groups to improve their lives aiming at rapid results for improved livelihood;
