All applications and nominations will be assessed on the following criteria:
IMPACT: What is the impact of the initiative? e.g. number of people impacted, mobilized, number of sectors involved, policies/legislation/budgets influenced, tangible shifts in behavior for the SDGs.
APPROACH: How innovative is this initiative’s strategy? Is it a breakthrough idea? Is the initiative also engaging those left behind?
SCALABILITY/ REPLICABILITY: Does this initiative have the potential to be scaled up and/or be replicated in other contexts to accelerate the achievement of the Global Goals? Is there any evidence that scaling up or replication is already taking place?
The category for INDIVIDUALS has additional criteria.
