Nestlé S.A. has opened nominations for its 2012 Prize in Creating Shared Value:
“The Nestlé Prize in Creating Shared Value offers advice and financial support of up to CHF 500,000 (more than USD 480,000) to an individual, non-government organisation, or small enterprise working in the field of nutrition, water, or rural development.
It is awarded in alternate years to an innovation or project that has shown outstanding promise in improving access to, or management of, water; enhancing the lives of farmers and rural communities; or providing better nourishment to communities suffering from nutritional deficiencies.”
More information is available here. This is a nice occasion for aid workers and development practitioners to get recognized for their efforts.
