The Global Resilience Partnership (GRP) is launching the Resilience Innovation through Scaling Entrepreneurship (RISE) Urban Challenge to transform innovative urban solutions that address resilience needs in informal contexts into sustainable, scalable initiatives. The challenge offers tailored support to maximise each initiative’s impact and connects them with potential funders, driving attention to the urgent need for urban systems transformation.
Join us on 27 March at 3 PM East Africa Time to learn more about the challenge, the support available, and how you can get involved.
