HDIF Round 2 is Now Open!
|
The Human Development Innovation Fund (HDIF) has now opened its 2nd round of funding to catalyze innovative and sustainable solutions to create social impact in education, health and WASH (water, sanitation and hygiene) across Tanzania. The fund is part of an overall £30 million investment in innovation in Tanzania by UK Aid.
What we fund
HDIF provides responsible grants for innovative pilot and scale-up projects implemented by non-state actors in seven results areas:
· Health: (1) Increased child survival, (2) Improve health management systems, and (3) Improve health services using low cost approaches;
· Education: (4) Improved quality of education and learning outcomes, (5) Improved access for girls and vulnerable groups, and (6) Improved education management systems; and
· WASH: (7) Sustainable access to water and sanitation through low cost approaches.
Selection criteria
Each HDIF funded project must satisfy the funding round’s eligibility criteria and will be score against other applications based on 5 selection criteria:
Innovation: HDIF defines 'innovation' as an approach, idea, technology or service delivery method that is new to Tanzania and/or the world, or offers an improvement or scaling up. HDIF has adapted Doblin’s 10 Types of Innovation as a framework for the supported innovation.
Developmental impact: HDIF will evaluate how your proposed project could contribute to the objectives of HDIF and create meaningful benefits for large numbers of the poor, children under five, women and girls, and the vulnerable.
Viability: HDIF assesses the potential viability and sustainability of your innovation and the potential for larger systems change. HDIF uses monitoring and evaluation tools that meet the DCED standards and leverage significant experiences in improving the lives of the poor through market development.
Organizational capability: HDIF evaluates the capacity of your organization and its partners to design, manage, and scale innovation in Tanzania, including a formal review of fiduciary risks and leadership capacity related to the proposals.
Results Management: HDIF will review the ability to measure, monitor, and evaluate the impact of the project to ensure lessons learned can be captured and shared to improve and scale up appropriate innovations.
Who should apply?
HDIF funds non-state actors and specifically encourages applications from the private sector, including, but not limited to, private-for-profit organisations, social entrepreneurs, and other non-state actors either involved or interested in the delivery of quality pro-poor services.
Applicants who demonstrate their commitment to sustainability with counter-part or match funding will be considered favorably.
An applicant for HDIF funding is an organisation that:
· Is not afraid of challenging the status quo. · Can demonstrate the use of new models of service delivery, whilst working with and developing new technologies and techniques. · Can demonstrate sustainability and the ability to scale-up innovations. · Understands the need to and actively shares knowledge with the wider community.
How do you apply?
Stage 1 | Submit a Concept Note about your proposed innovation, using the HDIF Concept Note template. All Concept Notes will be reviewed by the HDIF evaluation team based on eligibility and selection criteria. Concept Notes that are deemed qualified will proceed to Stage 2.
Stage 2 | Submit a Business Plan. This stage provides more in-depth details about how the project will be implemented and self-sustaining for the future. All Business Plans will be submitted in the HDIF template and will be reviewed by an Independent Grant Committee (IGC) and feedback will be provided to the applicant.
Stage 3 | Funding awarded by HDIF. HDIF will select the most qualified applicants from Stage 2 in which to award the grants. HDIF will then provide the applicant with technical support throughout the life-cycle of the grant.
