Making All Voices Count (MAVC)

Overview: To increase transparency and accountability between citizens and governments by improving relationships and making more opportunities for dialogue between them so that up to 6 million people in up to 14 DFID priority countries are directly helped to articulate their demands to government supported by technological innovations and scaled up interventions.

Both managing the project and calling for proposals, plus the actual entries themselves contain significant digital elements.

Eg In year 1, the programme funded 32 grantees from more than 540 entries through the Open Call for Proposal and also ran an online Global Innovation Competition awarding 10 winners from more than 200 entries – followed by effective mentoring of the 10 finalists.
