COVID-19 Innovation Prize to Award Local Innovators
Covid-19 Innovation Prizes for local initiatives were developed to support innovations that had sprung up in response to community needs related to COVID-19, where solutions had already been ideated, tried, and worked. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Norway, via Save the Children Norway, funded the Prize modality. The total was 26 prizes in the categories of:
The Response, Prevention, and Treatment
Continuous Learning
Sustained Livelihoods
Refugee-led innovations
The winners were selected end of 2020 and will be announced in March 2021 publically. They each received a small prize based on evidence of Covid-19 innovative activities completed in 2020 and tailored coaching.
