The Global Development Marketplace is a worldwide competition held every 12-18 months at World Bank headquarters in Washington, D.C. Awards range from US$40,000 – US$200,000. Since its inception, the Global DM competition has disbursed over US$28 million in awards to 201 winning proposals. These projects are being implemented in more than 60 countries by non-governmental organizations (NGOs), academic institutions, private sector businesses, government agencies and other development actors. DM’s primary objective is to identify and support creative cutting-edge solutions to the most pressing social and economic concerns of our time; ideas that deliver results and have the potential to be expanded or replicated. The Development Marketplace program operates at two levels: global and country. In both cases, DM uses a transparent process to surface innovations that address development challenges at the community level.
