The Humanitarian Water and Food Award acknowledges and promotes sustainable ways to bring water and food to all people. If you are involved in an initiative that sustainably provides food and/or water in areas where previously there was insecurity, then you can apply to this opportunity.
The Award is given at a prize ceremony held every year in Copenhagen, Denmark. All finalists are invited to the ceremony where the winner is announced. The winner receives the Award statuette as well as prizes provided by the sponsors.
Nominees will be judged according to the following criteria:
- Innovativeness: Definition of problem/Solution
- Sustainability: Will the solution last? How is it governed/managed?
- Local ownership/Empowerment: Who owns the problem and the solution?
- Replicability: Could it be transferred elsewhere?
- Actual or potential impact: How many people benefit from the solution?
The closing date to apply is 15 January 2012. For more information, visit this link.
