Which SDGs does your solution contribute to, and what measurable impact do you aim for?

You can check a description of each SDG through the UNDP website:  https://www.undp.org/sustainable-development-goals

What specific problem in Lebanon does your solution address?

Describe its scale, root causes, and how your approach differs from existing solutions?

What technology does your solution use?

Examples include AI, IoT, robotics, or renewable energy. Explain how it addresses the problem more effectively than existing approaches.

Who are the primary and secondary beneficiaries of your solution?

Describe their demographics (e.g., location, income level, age) and any barriers to access (e.g., skills, infrastructure). If applicable, estimate the size of the target population."

Describe your technology solution in detail.

You may cover: The core functionality and how it addresses the problem, the key technical components (e.g., hardware, software, algorithms), how it improves upon or differs from existing solutions, and the current stage of development (e.g., concept, prototype, pilot, scaled).

Explain how your solution effectively solves the problem you identified.

1. Describe:
   • Your key intervention(s) – What specific actions/technology will be deployed?
   • The implementation process – Key steps from pilot to scale (if applicable)
   • Expected outcomes – How will you measure success? (e.g., "Reduce marine plastic by 30% in Year 1")
   • Long-term sustainability – How will the solution remain effective after initial deployment?

Outline your implementation plan, including:

• Key phases (e.g., prototyping, pilot testing, full deployment) with timelines for each.
• Major milestones (e.g., "Launch first 10 units by Month 6").
• Critical dependencies (e.g., partnerships, permits, funding).
• Estimated total duration until the solution is operational at scale.

.

Demonstrate your solution's long-term sustainability by addressing:

• Financial sustainability - What is your revenue model or funding strategy beyond initial grants? (e.g., subscriptions, government contracts, CSR partnerships)
• Environmental impact - How does your solution minimize negative ecological consequences while delivering benefits?
• Social sustainability - How will you ensure continued community adoption and local ownership?
• Scalability roadmap - What systems are in place to expand impact without proportional cost increases?

Provide a comprehensive cost breakdown for your solution's implementation, including:

• Development Costs (R&D, prototyping, testing)
• Human Resources (salaries, training, contractor fees)
• Physical Materials (equipment, manufacturing, raw materials)
• Deployment Expenses (logistics, installation, community training)
• Operational Costs (maintenance, updates, recurring expenses)
• Contingency Funds (recommended 10-15% of total)

Demonstrate your solution's competitive edge by addressing:

• Innovation Differentiation - What fundamentally new approach/technology/process does your solution offer?
• Market Gap Analysis - How does your solution address limitations of existing options in Lebanon? (Cite specific competitors or alternatives)
• Local Adaptation - What Lebanon-specific adaptations make your solution more effective than generic alternatives?
• Implementation Advantages - Why is your team/organization uniquely positioned to succeed? (e.g., partnerships, local knowledge, cost structure)
