We are pleased to introduce the eight outstanding organizations from Latin America and the Caribbean that have been selected as winners of the Innovation Fund. This initiative, within the framework of Innovation for Change, aims to support projects that address challenges in key areas such as promoting enabling environments, inclusive democracy and civic participation, actions against disinformation, transparency, and accountability. Additionally, the organizations will receive funding of up to USD 8,000 (eight thousand US dollars) to carry out their projects.
