Abstract
This report presents an analytical guide to assessing whether and why it is appropriate to use an innovation prize to solve a specific and pre-defined problem, with a focus on developing country contexts and, especially, in supporting the poorest within these countries. It is intended to support governments; development partners ; NGOs; academic institutions; private foundations; and industry and consumer associations. It is published as part of a suite of papers that capture the learning from the first year of DFID’s Ideas to Impact programme.
This guide was produced for the Ideas to Impact programme which is funded by the UK Department for International Development (DFID)
