The County Innovation Challenge Fund Round 3 Innovation Competition is NOW OPEN!
This competition seeks innovative project ideas that will contribute to positive change in the maternal and new-born health (MNH) sector; delivering impact and increased access to and/or utilisation of quality services.

Innovations augmenting existing MNH interventions in the focus counties, targeting adolescent girls and youth are strongly encouraged.
