Fondation Botnar together with the Global Road Safety Partnership is seeking proposals from consortiums representing partners from government, civil society and the private sector for its Botnar Child Road Safety Challenge to build on growing global recognition of population shifts to urban areas and the impact of urbanization on public health.
WORTH
- Consortium proposals can be submitted for a maximum amount of 400,000 Swiss francs (CHF) for a two-year project.
- Successful consortium projects will have the opportunity for 3 additional years of funded reinvestment for a total investment of 5 years and up to 1,000,000 CHF.
