Grand Challenge Fund (GCF)


GCF is a key element of the Higher Education Development in Pakistan (HEDP) Project supported by the World Bank and implemented by the Higher Education Commission (HEC).


GCF is anticipated to promote research excellence in strategic sectors of the economy and will provide funds to selected institutions based upon a competitive, peer-reviewed evaluation of proposals. The proposals, submitted under GCF, must be linked to at least one of the strategic priority areas, including food security, water management and sustainability, sustainable energy, sociology and philosophy, development economics, urban planning, climate change and environment, IT and telecommunication, and innovative governance and reforms. The purpose is to identify a national problem and solve it. For further details, please visit https://www.hec.gov.pk/site/GCF
