Judging Criteria

All applications and nominations will be judged on the following criteria:

Impact

What is the impact of the nominee’s initiative? e.g. numbers of people impacted, mobilized, number of sectors involved, policies/ legislation/ budgets influenced, tangible shifts in behaviors and in SDG achievement.

Approach

How innovative is this initiative’s strategy? Is it a breakthrough idea, are you approaching things in a totally new way? Is the initiative also engaging those at risk of being 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 Goals? Is there any evidence that scaling up or replication is already taking place?

Our category recognizing individuals has additional criteria

Changemaker – Multiplier Effect

How far does this person’s work reach beyond the initial goal? Who has it inspired to act beyond the initial target community?
