Do you have an effective intervention that aims to save the lives of children under five? Applications for the 2021 Children’s Prize are now open!
Globally, over 14,000 children under the age of five die every day. The Children’s Prize is an open online competition with a mission to advance child health and survival by insisting on impact and data-driven interventions. The first round will remain open from June 16th to July 30th, 2021 for applications from individuals and organizations globally. The Prize administrators will search for the most impactful project, based on alignment with the goals, a measured reduction in child mortality, and applicant experience. Applications will be scored based on merit, not on the submission date. A small selection of applicants will be invited to participate in the second round in September and the winner will be announced in December. The winner will have the opportunity to enter into a $150,000 grant agreement.
