The project aims to improve the physical and mental health of the most vulnerable living in low- and middle- income countries (LMICs) by providing funding and technical support to innovators who have identified solutions. The project focuses on the second phase of Grand Challenges Canada’s innovation platform which includes testing and piloting innovations, developing strategic partnerships, leveraging private sector funding and know-how and business and marketing plans to enable their further development. Grants of up to CAD 1 million are awarded to Canadian and LMIC innovators who have demonstrated their innovation works and can be prepared for take up by the private sector, international organizations and LMIC governments.
