Social Entrepreneurship to Spur Health

About Social Entrepreneurship to Spur Health 2023

‘Game-changers’ can come from anywhere, and through this open call, we invite you to help us identify as many as possible. Let’s work together to find new ways to promote adolescent health and well-being in communities most affected by HIV.

Multiple cash prizes will be awarded. All who respond to the open call will be automatically connected to a UN-supported global network of young health advocates.

Program Details

We encourage submissions that think beyond medical or mental health. While these are important, we also want to hear ideas and innovations that focus on the complex web of factors that predict well-being more broadly. One way to think about this is to consider all the things that are important for adolescents and young people to feel healthier, stronger, safer and more positive about their overall lives and their futures.
For example:
  • When you think about what adolescent health and well-being might look like in the next 10–30 years, what do you see as the main building blocks?
  • How can we create those building blocks if they do not yet exist, and how do we strengthen those that already exist?
  • What kind of changes or improvements would be most helpful in areas such as education, connecting with people and looking for information (including around social media), and the physical environment that we live in?
  • Which innovations will help us prepare for being better able to face threats such as conflict and pandemics, as well as trends such as climate change, rising inequality, migration, urbanization and digitalization? There are challenges related to all of these trends, but some might also offer opportunities for new and different ways for adolescent health and overall well-being to be promoted and improved.
All ideas submitted will be reviewed by an independent panel of judges. Several of those judged as the most interesting, promising or likely to have the greatest positive impact will be recognized by TDR, the Special Programme for Research and Training in Tropical Disease, a co-sponsored partnership of UNDP, UNICEF, the World Bank and WHO. Winners will be invited to present their ideas at the Global Forum for Adolescents (details available on the Global Forum’s Website).

Eligibility

Eligible Ideas and innovation would address:
  • Skills for future employment and preparation for the world of work, including health.
  • Self-care models, approaches and tools for disease prevention, treatment and management.
  • Models of health citizenship that might help us refine and redefine the rights, entitlements, and obligations agreed upon between adolescent citizens and the State at all levels.
  • Private-public partnerships, joint ventures, and other offerings that might be more responsive to the values and preferences of adolescents.
  • Data Innovations.
  • Planning, coordination and management innovations that transform the way structures and institutions are organized and resourced to improve patient and community health.
  • ‘De-implementation’ to end a programme or policy that does not work, or which is a barrier to achieving better health outcomes.
