Success stories from other challenge funds

Major multinationals have found working with similar funding mechanisms and donors to be a genuine business opportunity – one that improves business, inspires staff, and demonstrates an innovative and competitive edge.

"In 2009 the Enterprise Challenge Fund grant allowed Future Forests to develop an efficient seedling nursery and expand timber plantations. This was the catalyst for growth and supported our company during a difficult early development stage, which was crucial to our success." Rod Evers, Managing Director, Future Forests

"The success of M-PESA would not have been realised if it hadn’t been for the mechanisms put in place by the DFID funded Financial Deepening Challenge fund, and its focus on innovation." Nick Hughes, Vodaphone
