Overview

Guidelines

Application

The gap between humanitarian needs and available resources is growing, exacerbated by climate change and global instability. We need to change how we deliver humanitarian action.

Technology offers real potential to deliver faster, more sustainable, and fully localised humanitarian response.

The 2023 Palladium Challenge Fund: Technology for Humanitarian Action is seeking proposals from organisatins with innovative solutions to humanitarian crisis – unlocking the value of technological innovation or scaling existing innovations. We’re particularly interested in proposals that empower local communities and offer sustainable, long-term solutions.

We are looking for solutions that:

Pilot new technologies and innovative approaches
De-risk start up ventures targeting humanitarian response and / or address constraints in the humanitarian system
Convene groups around innovation for humanitarian response
Scale existing innovations
