The Civil Service Award for Innovation “recognises a team that has sought new and better ways of doing things and taken sensible risks to improve outcomes and successfully address an issue or challenge.” This can be through innovative approaches to policy-making and delivery; challenging the status quo; or new approaches leading to a step-up from business-as-usual.

On behalf of all our partners and Frontier Technology Pioneers across DFID, we are incredibly proud to be acknowledged with the award. Congratulations to the other nominees and winners from the night.
