Introduction
A challenge fund is a financing mechanism to allocate (donor) funds for specific purposes using competition among organizations, mainly small and medium size companies as the lead principle.
A challenge fund invites for proposals from companies, organizations and institutions working in a targeted field to submit project proposals.
Challenge funds are always set up to meet specific objectives – such as extending financial services to poor people or finding solutions to a specific health problem in developing countries.

Proposals are assessed against transparent and pre-determined criteria.
Successful applicants must usually match a certain percentage of the grant with own financing.
The challenge fund awards grants to those projects that best meet the objectives of the fund and fulfill various pre-established eligibility criteria.
