Why apply?

Awardees will be provided with up to a combined total of USD $100,000 plus tailored support over a period of 12 months to pilot a collaborative model combining the strengths of each organisation. The collaborative model should aim to increase incomes for 100,000+ women in Sub-Saharan Africa by at least 30% within a period of 3 years.

Each selected project will receive a combination of the following:

  • Grant funding up to USD $100,000

  • Adaptive project management and learning support from a dedicated Collaboration Manager at the Million Lives Collective to support the implementing team to work in sprints to test assumptions (in line with lean/agile methods)

  • Opportunities for community / network building

  • Potential - should the pilot prove successful - for additional scale-up funding
