A strategic resolve to accelerate the global IPPF youth programme led to the inception of the Youth Social
Venture Fund (YSVF) in 2020, hosted by Family Planning Association of India (FPA India).
The IPPF YSVF aims to support tech-innovations developed by young innovators that reduce access gaps and
promote self-care in the SRHR space.
We are pleased to share that the global IPPF YSVF Innovation Challenge launched in September 2021, has
curated eight promising ideas developed by young start-ups, towards improving young people’s access to
maternal health and contraception.
Three of these will be awarded an incubation grant worth USD 10,000/- each to develop their ideas into
prototypes. A matching grant of the same amount will be presented to the Member Associations/ Collaborating
Partners of IPPF that will be working closely with these innovators as their in-country ‘mentors’.
We are keen to share this exciting story so far, and announce our winning teams. Please do join us for the online
event on June 29, 2022, from 5 pm to 6:30 pm IST.
The IPPF YSVF Innovation Challenge (2021-22) Grant Awards Ceremony will be a part of a youth-led webinar
hosted by FPA India. The webinar will showcase the eight shortlisted innovations and an opportunity to interact
with some of the innovators, their mentors, and the industry experts guiding this programme.
