With support from Bayer and the Bill & Melinda Gates Institute for Population and Reproductive Health, the 120 Under 40: The New Generation of Family Planning Leaders would like to announce the winners of the 2020 Ingenuity Fund. Given the emergence of COVID-19, we seek to understand and mitigate these new challenges as well as those that have been exacerbated by the global pandemic, and have turned to the next generation to share their ingenious ideas on how we can address both COVID-19 and the reproductive health challenges in an integrated way – especially in the areas of advocacy, service delivery, communication/messaging and demand generation.
The 2020 – 120 Under 40 Ingenuity Fund will be giving a special focus to the fallout and impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and invited applications that sought to address those challenges in an innovative way that integrates family planning and reproductive health. The application was very competitive but ultimately seven winners were chosen, we are looking forward to the launch of these great projects across the globe.
