Innovative technology idea competition

Within the EU-funded “FUTURE TODAY: Empowering women, youth and children for deepening democracy in Armenia” project  UNDP Armenia’s Kolba Lab opens a special call for proposals seeking partnership with Civil Society Organisations (CSOs) around co-design and incubation of citizen-driven innovative ideas. The call will aim at mobilising a critical cohort of innovators in identifying, developing and testing (1) bottom-up citizens proposals on how to improve participatory governance at local and national levels; (2) ideas like alternative connectivity, social networking, peer-to-peer support and mobilization.

The call is open to the CSOs from Armenia. The short-listed 6 applicant organizations will be invited to the Co-design and rapid-incubation booth camp (3 days); up-to 3 selected teams will receive funding of up to USD 7,000 for pilots in Armenia to be implemented within 3 months.

The deadline for submissions is March 31, 2023.
