Introduction

4. A challenge fund is a financing mechanism to allocate
(donor) funds for specific purposes using competition among
organizations, mainly small and medium size companies as
the lead principle.
A challenge fund invites for proposals from companies,
organizations and institutions working in a targeted field to
submit project proposals.
Challenge funds are always set up to meet specific objectives
– such as extending financial services to poor people or
finding solutions to a specific health problem in developing
countries.

5. Proposals are assessed against transparent and pre-
determined criteria.
Successful applicants must usually match a certain
percentage of the grant with own financing.
The challenge fund awards grants to those projects that best
meet the objectives of the fund and fulfill various pre-
established eligibility criteria.
