Administered by the World Bank, it attracts ideas from a range of innovators, including civil society groups, social entrepreneurs, academia and private sector. Various partners support competitions, held at the global, regional and country level. To date, the DM has awarded over $55 million for over 256 grants through its global competition, supporting projects through proof-of-concept phase. Using funding as a launching pad, projects often scale up or replicate elsewhere. Sometimes they win prestigious awards within the sphere of social entrepreneurship. Global competitions are the keystone of the DM program. Held every 12-18 months, each global competition is initiated with an open call for proposals which draws in applications from a range of social innovators including civil society groups, entrepreneurs, and academia. Roughly 25-30 winners out of thousands of applications are selected through a rigorous juried merit-based process. Each winner receives a grant of up to $200K to implement their project over two years.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOADMINISTRATIVE COSTSARTISANARTISANSBASIC STRUCTUREBEST PRACTICESBOUNDARIESBUSINESS MODELBUSINESS OPPORTUNITIESBUSINESS PLANCAPACITY BUILDINGCHANGE IN BEHAVIORCLINICSCOLLABORATIONCOMMUNICATION NETWORKSCOMMUNICATION STRATEGIESCOMMUNICATION STRATEGYCOMMUNICATORSCOMMUNITIESCOMMUNITY GROUPSCONFIDENTIALITYCONTACT INFORMATIONCONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENTCORRECTIVE ACTIONSCORRUPTIONCULTURAL BARRIERSCUSTOMSDATE OF CREATIONDECISION-MAKINGDELIVERY METHODDELIVERY METHODSDESCRIPTIONDISCUSSIONDOCUMENTSE-MAILEMAIL ADDRESSEQUIPMENTEVALUATION ACTIVITIESEXPORT MARKETFINANCIAL MANAGEMENTFINANCING PLANSFIXED COSTSFLEXIBILITYGENDERGOOD PRACTICEGOVERNMENT ORGANIZATIONSGPSGRAPHICSGROWTH POTENTIALHABITATSHOUSEHOLDSHOUSESIDEAIDEASIMPLEMENTATION COMPLETION REPORTIMPLEMENTATION PERIODIMPLEMENTATION PLANIMPLEMENTATION PROCESSINCOMEINNOVATIONINNOVATIVE PROJECTSINSIGHTSINSTALLATIONINSTITUTIONINTERNAL PROCESSESINTERVENTIONINTERVENTIONSKEY INTERVENTIONSLEARNINGLICENSELIVELIHOODSM&E SYSTEMSMAINTENANCE COSTSMARKET PRICEMARKETINGMARKETING STRATEGYMATERIALMONITORING & EVALUATIONNATURAL RESOURCESNEW TECHNOLOGIESNEW TECHNOLOGYNGOOPERATIONSOUTCOME INDICATORSOUTPUT INDICATORSPERFORMANCE INDICATORSPERFORMANCESPHONEPRIVATE SECTORPROBLEM DEFINITIONPRODUCT DESIGNPROGRAMSPROJECT BENEFICIARIESPROJECT EVALUATIONPROJECT IMPLEMENTATIONPROJECT MANAGEMENTPROJECT MONITORINGPROJECT OBJECTIVESPROTOCOLPROTOTYPEQUALITY STANDARDSRADIORADIO FREQUENCYRADIO FREQUENCY IDENTIFICATIONRELATIONAL DATABASERENTAL SERVICESRESULTRESULTSRURAL AREASRURAL WOMENSELF EVALUATIONSENSITIVE INFORMATIONSERVICE DELIVERYSETTLEMENTSMSSOURCES OF ELECTRICITYSOURCES OF WATERSPREADSHEETSTAKEHOLDERSSUPPLY CHAINSUSTAINABILITYTARGETINGTARGETSTECHNICAL ASSISTANCETECHNICAL EXPERTISETHINKINGTIME FRAMETIME PERIODTRACEABILITYTRAINING COURSETRAININGSTRANSMISSIONTRANSPARENCYUSE OF INFORMATIONUSERVARIETYVIDEOVILLAGESWEB10.1596/17344
