Innovation Award
The Innovation Award showcases organisations, coalitions or initiatives that are taking inventive approaches as they navigate a complex and changing external environment.
Organisations need to innovate to survive in a world shaped by shifting geographic powers, climate change, demographic changes, urbanisation and technological advances.
The winner
We were looking for innovators who embrace rapid change and are driven by the desire to make a lasting contribution to development. The winner was announced at the awards ceremony on 18 March 2019.
