ABOUT GRAND CHALLENGES

USAID’s Grand Challenges for Development initiative was launched in 2011 to provide a model to mobilize a diverse range of stakeholders, including governments, companies, and foundations to bring in new voices to solve development problems and to both source and scale new innovations, solutions, and ideas. These stakeholders range from small and medium enterprises to multinational corporations, and include women-, youth-, minority- and locally-owned and serving businesses and organizations.
