This grant represents Canada’s institutional support to Grand Challenges Canada (GCC). GCC uses these funds, along with other donors’ funding, to achieve its mandate. GCC's mandate is to support innovators to develop and transition to scale innovations that improve the health, human rights, and well-being of women, adolescent girls, and children in low- and middle-income countries, including in conflict-affected areas.
The expected outcomes include: (1) increased use of gender-responsive, inclusive, and locally-driven health products and services, especially for the most marginalized and vulnerable; (2) increased effectiveness of diverse innovators to test and transition their health innovations to scale and sustainability, integrating gender equality, human rights, inclusion and environmental sustainability; and (3) enhanced generation, sharing, and integration of evidence and learning from innovative, gender-responsive, inclusive, and locally-driven solutions to health challenges by Grand Challenges Canada and other innovation ecosystem actors.
