Deadline: November 17, 2026
Applications for the Nexa Lighthouse Funding Program 2027 are now open. Nexa Lighthouse is investing in proven innovations across Asia and the Pacific that help local health actors translate climate-related health risk signals into timely action. These innovations should focus on reducing health risks associated with mosquito-borne infections, extreme heat and poor air quality.
Nexa Lighthouse is co-led by Grand Challenges Canada (in partnership with the Government of Canada) and AVPN, together with Bayer Foundation, India Health Fund, Novo Nordisk Foundation, Sanofi Foundation, and Temasek Foundation.
Funding Focus
Applications must directly address at least one of the following areas of focus:
- Climate-informed early warning and monitoring systems: Innovations that allow health actors to anticipate and respond to the impacts of heat, poor air quality, and/or changing mosquito ecology (resulting in the accelerated spread of malaria and dengue infections).
- Climate-responsive patient care delivery: Innovations that strengthen local response to mosquito-borne infection harms, and/or the health impacts of heat and poor air quality.
Funding
- Transition to Scale investment amounts will range between approximately $250,000 – $2,000,000 USD per innovation at the Nexa Lighthouse partners’ discretion, depending on the maturity of the innovation.
Eligibility
- Applicants should be from countries across Asia and the Pacific.
- Organizations that are incorporated or equivalent (e.g. companies, social enterprises, non-governmental organizations, governmental organizations, non-profit, for-profit, research/academic institutions).
- However, individuals, sole proprietorships, unincorporated trusts, and partnerships are not eligible to apply
Application
All proposals must be submitted via the Fluxx portal by November 17, 2026, at 2:00 p.m. ET (7:00 p.m. UTC).
