On September 24th at the Concordia Annual Summit, Special Representative for Global Partnerships Dorothy McAuliffe awarded the 2024 P3 Impact Award to The Challenge Initiative.  Now in its 11th year, the P3 Impact Award is a partnership between the Department of State’s Office of Global Partnerships, Concordia, and the University of Virginia Darden School of Business that recognizes exemplary public-private partnerships (P3s) that provide solutions to pressing global issues such as improving access to education, ecological sustainability, women’s economic empowerment, and humanitarian assistance.

The Challenge Initiative (TCI) offers a unique approach to financing, scaling up and sustaining family planning programs designed to address the rapid urbanization taking place in Africa and Asia.  TCI has engaged more than 200 city governments across 13 countries to implement high-impact family planning practices and other interventions that rapidly scale access to family planning information and services.  Led by Johns Hopkins’ William H. Gates Institute for Population and Reproductive Health, with support from Bayer AG and the Gates Foundation, TCI works through six regional hubs in East Africa, Francophone West Africa, India, Nigeria, Pakistan and the Philippines.  Since launching in 2016, TCI has contributed to an additional 4.5 million family planning users in 213 cities across 13 countries – Benin, Burkina Faso, Cote d’Ivoire, Kenya, India, Niger, Nigeria, Pakistan, the Philippines, Senegal, Tanzania, Togo, and Uganda – covering a total population footprint of 244 million people.
