ID operates across five focus areas, identified as core challenges requiring targeted intervention. In collaboration with our partners, we co-develop solutions that undergo a structured and iterative ideation cycle of piloting and testing to ensure long-term sustainability and scalability.

1. Partners are encouraged to propose projects aligned with ID’s solutions, based on the ideation phase and corresponding requirements. 
2. Alternatively, they may contribute their own solutions that align with ID’s focus areas or other EAA Foundation programmes’ mandate and identified challenges.

ID Preliminary Criteria

Partners, EAA Foundation programs, and/or ID can design and co-develop a new solution based on the challenges identified in collaboration with the government. 

• The following preliminary criteria will be used for solutions: 
• The challenge must be reflected in government strategy. The solution and project must have government endorsement, acknowledging EAA Foundation’s support of the project.  
• The solution must be based on an innovative approach, with a clear technical role for the Innovation team. This could include ID team involvement in design, development, customisation, etc. 
• The solution will be co-designed and co-developed with ID and an implementing partner, along with other experts/strategic partners where required.  
• All solutions need to be community-centred and designed for sustainability, beyond the life of the project.  
• The project must include a clear MEL plan with clear outputs and research questions to facilitate learning. 
• The solution and project should align with some or all EAA Foundation’s priorities, including: 
• The challenge must be aligned with one or more of EAA Foundation’s program mandates (EAC, Silatech, ROTA, Al Fakhoora, and PEIC).
