With initial funding from the Bill & Mellinda Gates Foundation (BMGF), the Nutrition Society of Nigeria (NSN) is establishing the Grand Challenges Nigeria (GCNg) Project. Grand Challenges is a family of initiatives across the world fostering innovation to solve key global health and development problems, with each initiative implemented as an experiment in the use of challenges to focus innovation on making an impact. Grand Challenges Nigeria (GCNg) joins this family of initiatives and will bring local country context to global innovations in health and development, serving as a strategic way to advance impactful innovations in our country while building local capacity and promoting diversity, equity, and inclusion with a long-term perspective.
The Grand Challenges Nigeria (GCNg) will work together with government, nonprofit, development, and private sector partners to fund local innovators and researchers to address Nigeria’s pressing health and development challenges. We will be supporting projects with the potential to transform lives at scale, foster a network of impact-driven researchers and innovators and contribute to sustainable development in Nigeria. We will provide information about the official launch of the project and the various opportunities that will be made available in due course.
