UN Global Pulse is thrilled to announce the Call for Applications for its Scale Accelerator Programme!

We are seeking the next group of innovators from across the UN system who are ready to scale their creative solutions.

Only UN system colleagues are eligible to apply. The programme is designed for UN teams that have already piloted their solutions and can demonstrate positive outcomes. Applications with ideas that are still in the concept phase or have not been piloted will not be considered.

Applications open on 10 September and close on 24 September 2024 at midnight EST.

Launched in 2023, the Scale Accelerator supports UN teams in advancing innovative solutions from pilots to widespread adoption, ensuring impactful ideas benefit more people and communities. Recognizing the challenges in scaling social innovation, the programme offers a structured, evidence-based curriculum to guide participants through the complexities of scaling their innovations.

This final phase provides personalized support tailored to each team's vision and needs, focusing on areas like monitoring and evaluation, pitch development, financial management, and other essential elements of a robust scaling strategy.

For more details, review the eligibility criteria in our FAQs. Information sessions will be held on 17 September (07:00 – 07:45 CET) and 19 September 2024 (16:00 – 16:45 CET). Interested applicants are encouraged to attend.
