Applicants should present an innovative idea/solution that helps them to scale-up operations and impact.

UNDP in partnership with the Ministry of Tourism, Wildlife and Antiquities (MTWA); and Uganda Tourism Board (UTB) is inviting proposals from interested innovators who can implement their suggested ideas in an inclusive and sustainable manner. All proposals must present the business model of the company/organization, show how it is inclusive and financially viable, explain which barriers the business/organization faces in scaling up, how the prize award would be used to overcome them, and what impact the solution would have on low income people and local communities.

UNDP will support inclusive businesses to scale-up operations through this Innovation Challenge Call. This is expected to result into clear positive impacts on the target beneficiaries, and the promotion of Uganda as a preferred tourism destination for sustainable and inclusive tourism.
