Competition format & key facts
Organized detailsOverview
CAVDHA is accepting two-person project teams for a Haitian local-governance innovation competition whose five finalists will pitch on 16 October 2026.
Complete competition details
Challenge CAVDHA 26 seeks innovative project ideas that strengthen local governance and community development in Haiti. Five finalists will present to a jury on 16 October during the CAVDHA conference, with public-vote video input and winners announced on 18 October. The official page lists a 250,000 HTG prize and one SIPDEC seminar per member. It does not state whether the 250,000 HTG amount is distributed across multiple winners, so no further allocation is inferred.
Eligibility requirements
Applicants must be Haitian nationals aged 18–40, be students or graduates of a university in Haiti, be born in or resident of the commune where the project would be implemented, and participate as a two-person team. The document checklist also requests proof of current university enrollment, which may require graduates to clarify eligibility with the organizer.
Tips for this competition
Practical Job and Scholarship guidance. These tips do not replace official rules or create new eligibility requirements.
- Study the scoring criteria and previous winners before deciding what evidence, prototype, essay, research or portfolio will best support the entry.
- Confirm country, age, team, education and organization restrictions and whether one person may enter multiple submissions.
- Follow the required file format, word/time limits and naming rules exactly; technical non-compliance can disqualify a strong entry.
- Keep proof of submission and submit before the deadline rather than relying on the final hour.
Verification notes
Official competition page confirms eligibility, two-person team format, five-finalist process, 16 October pitch, 18 October results, 250,000 HTG prize wording and SIPDEC seminar benefit. The page lists students or graduates as eligible but requests an enrolled-student certificate in the application dossier; that discrepancy is preserved rather than resolved by assumption. No closing date or application fee is published.
Job and Scholarship is the discovery and verification layer. Confirm eligibility, dates, salary/funding and application instructions on the original source before submitting anything.
