Grant Overview
Priority Outcomes for International Impact Accelerator Grants
The Grant to Impact Accelerator program, funded by the Banking Institution, aims to drive transformative change in the global food system. For international applicants, the priority outcomes are centered around innovative solutions that address pressing challenges in food production, processing, packaging, transportation, consumption, and disposal. The program's focus is on accelerating wide-ranging solutions that can be scaled up to have a meaningful impact on the global food system.
Targeting Global Food System Challenges
The International Impact Accelerator grant prioritizes outcomes that tackle some of the most pressing issues in the global food system, such as food insecurity, climate change, and waste reduction. Applicants should focus on developing solutions that can be applied across different regions and countries, taking into account the diverse needs and contexts of various international communities. For instance, projects that improve crop yields in drought-prone areas or develop sustainable packaging solutions for food products can have a significant impact. The United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) is a key international body that works towards similar goals, and applicants may draw inspiration from their initiatives.
The grant also recognizes the importance of regional and local contexts in shaping the global food system. For example, the Mekong River Delta region in Southeast Asia is a critical area for food production, with many countries relying on its agricultural output. Projects that address specific challenges in this region, such as saltwater intrusion or soil degradation, can have a significant impact on the global food system. Similarly, initiatives that focus on improving food distribution networks in regions with limited infrastructure can help reduce food waste and improve food security.
Measuring Success: Key Performance Indicators
To measure the success of the Grant to Impact Accelerator program, the Banking Institution will track a range of key performance indicators (KPIs) that are aligned with the priority outcomes. These KPIs may include metrics such as the number of people benefiting from improved food security, the reduction in greenhouse gas emissions achieved through sustainable practices, or the amount of food waste reduced through innovative packaging solutions. Applicants should be prepared to articulate how their proposed projects will contribute to these KPIs and demonstrate a clear understanding of how their solutions can be scaled up to achieve meaningful impact.
The Banking Institution will work closely with successful applicants to track progress against these KPIs and provide support where needed. This may involve providing access to technical expertise, facilitating partnerships with other organizations, or offering financial assistance to help projects overcome challenges.
