Water
Within the water category we are seeking social innovation in sustainable water resource management as well as in broadening access to water and sanitation. High potential projects working with sustainable water resource management could be developing new technologies within irrigation, fertilizing practices and drainage systems, while projects concerning accessibility could be devising new community led strategies for providing clean and sustainable access to water and sanitation. Projects will be evaluated on their level of innovation, while also being assessed on criteria such as environmental sustainability, impacts up to date, and growth potential.
