इस प्रतियोगिता के बारे में
The D-Prize Global Competition seeks to address global poverty by funding new organizations that distribute proven poverty interventions. The core philosophy is that effective solutions already exist, but they often fail to reach the people who need them most at the "last mile." D-Prize identifies these interventions and then challenges aspiring entrepreneurs to design and launch new ventures dedicated to scaling their distribution. This competition provides crucial seed funding and support for individuals or teams ready to commit to launching a new organization to tackle a specific poverty challenge, ranging from health and education to agriculture and infrastructure. The ultimate goal is to enable these new organizations to run successful pilots and then attract further investment to reach thousands, even millions, of beneficiaries.
