Request for Information - USAID/Indonesia: Challenge and Prize Platform in Development: USAID/Indonesia is seeking inputs for designing a new stand-alone activity to support the delivery of multiple open innovation prize and challenge events across a broad range of development objectives. The mechanism, with an expected period of performance of five years, will provide a means of involvement and collaborative ideation by a wide spectrum of participants from higher education, civil society and the private sector around core development challenges faced by Indonesia. USAID wishes to harness the expertise, ingenuity, and creativity of problem solvers in Indonesia and worldwide through an open innovation approach that involves challenges, prizes and crowdsourcing.
It is anticipated that these challenges will address (but will not be limited to) novel approaches involving science and technology to delink palm oil production from deforestation; provide better access to workforce opportunities for poor and vulnerable populations in Indonesia; address challenges in the health sector related to infectious disease and improving maternal child health outcomes; and novel solutions to address democratic governance issues such as effective service delivery, more open and accessible government data, and protection of citizen rights.
