The selected projects address a broad range of humanitarian challenges through innovative and partnership-driven approaches. They span areas such as renewable energy in fragile contexts, digital protection solutions, climate resilience for pastoralists and farmers, inclusive childcare models in refugee settings, and AI-enabled mine action and human rights monitoring.
