Hello GeoNode community,

I would like to let you know about a Challenge Fund that GFDRR and
DFID have launched.

The Fund seeks to support the development of data, products and
approaches to support disaster risk management decision making and
build resilience, including through better information, but also
strengthening key steps in moving from information to insight and
behavior change.

If you have any ideas (using GeoNode or not) I encourage you to apply
or to forward it to an interested person in your network. The grants
go from 50K to 150K.

Deadline is May 1st and information about applying can be found at:
https://www.gfdrr.org/the-challenge-fund

Best,
Ariel.
