Deadline: 14-Sep-22
ELRHA’s innovation challenge is looking for innovative data collection approaches that will generate action-oriented recommendations on how to make humanitarian programmes more inclusive of older people and people with disabilities.
This innovation challenge is designed to respond to these multi-layered and interlinked problems, and they hope that the innovation projects they support will make measurable progress towards addressing them.
Funding Information
- Each grantee received funding of up to 100,000 GBP and had up to ten months to implement and collect data on their projects in humanitarian settings.
- Project budgets must be below 175,000 GBP
Outputs
The expected outputs for supported projects include:
- Action-oriented recommendations for how to make the chosen humanitarian programme(s) more inclusive based on the data collected.
- A step-by-step guide on the data collection approach used, including any knowledge and tools that could be shared with the wider humanitarian community.
Projects must be delivered through meaningful collaboration between one or more representative organisations (OPDs and OPAs) and humanitarian actors. OPAs and OPDs are expected to play an integral role in all of the project stages, including planning and budgeting, design and implementation, as well as in writing the proposal.
Eligibility Criteria
If you answer ‘No’ to any items below, you are not eligible to apply for this challenge.
- Is the lead organisation a legally-registered entity?
- Is your indicative project budget below 175,000 GBP?
- Will you complete your project within 18 months?
- Will you be implementing your approach in an eligible humanitarian setting (see ‘Humanitarian setting’ in GLOSSARY)?
- Do your project lead and partners, between them, meet all of the following requirements: •At least one OPA or OPD;
- At least one organisation with operational humanitarian experience; and
- At least one organisation that is headquartered and led in the country of the chosen humanitarian setting(s)?
- Is your data collection approach innovative (as opposed to standard programming), ie, is it an invention (new) or adaptation of an existing approach from elsewhere?
- Is your data collection approach inclusive, ie, it adheres to the foundational principles of inclusion and focuses on increasing inclusion in humanitarian action for both older people and people with disabilities?
- Will you use the data you collect to generate action-oriented recommendations to increase inclusion in one or more existing humanitarian programmes in your chosen setting?
- Will you develop a step-by-step guide on the approach and lessons learned and share it with the wider humanitarian community?
- Have you considered how you will mitigate any ethical implications of your proposed approach (including gaining formal ethical approval if required) and ensure that data is handled responsibly?
