Abstract

The Development Innovation Fund in Health (DIF-H), through Grand Challenges Canada (GCC) explored the potential to use an outside-of-government delivery vehicle to foster development innovation while maintaining strong accountability to Parliament. GCC delivered on objectives through three targeted challenges: Saving Lives at Birth, Saving Brains, and Global Mental Health. In addition, GCC was the anchor investor in the Global Health Investment Fund, a $108 million social impact investment fund. One of the more powerful aspects of the GCC model has been the ability to drive significant interest and engagement in innovators across Canada and throughout the developing world.
