Challenge Funds, Grant Funds, and Managed Funds are used increasingly by international development agencies and other partners to mitigate market risks while spurring innovation to fight poverty and environmental degradation.

We provide a comprehensive range of Grant and Challenge Fund management services that support both social & business-oriented enterprise Challenge Funds. This includes fund design, calls for proposals, appraisal and selection of candidates, performance and risk management, procurement, and capacity strengthening. Having worked on various funding schemes across sectors, we recognise the importance of carefully tailoring the design of Challenge Funds to meet donors’ development objectives. We believe in establishing open and supportive relationships with our partners and creating a productive balance between compliance, risk management, and constructive support.
