The second request for proposals (RFP) closed in July 2019 and focused on innovations that provide, supply, or locally generate: 1) energy; 2) safe water and sanitation; 3) life-saving information; and/or 4) health services and supplies to help conflict-affected people.

This resulted in 648 applications from 80 different countries; 58% of which came from lower- and middle-income countries. We saw a 65% increase in applications from the Middle East and North Africa region, and a 16% increase from sub-Saharan Africa.

We are currently evaluating the proposals.
