With this new Open Call, Safe Online will continue to invest in a ‘whole system’ approach for maximum impact by supporting the work across multiple sectors in a coordinated manner to advance solutions to address online child sexual exploitation and abuse (CSEA) and related forms of harms to children. The investment approach builds on the vast amount of knowledge generated through Safe Online’s investments, as well as the latest data and evidence in the field and wider digital harms ecosystem.
To invest most effectively in the most burning issues in the online CSEA ecosystem, the 2024 Open Call is focused on innovation and high impact.
We define innovation as the application of new and novel methodologies, processes, tools and/or ways of working that aim to address a specific need or gap. Innovative proposals should create new pathways for change and should push the boundaries beyond what currently exists.
Proposals that reflect a high impact are catalytic projects which can include any of the following: a wide reach; potential for scalability and sustainability; interoperability and applicability to various use cases or systems; or pathways of change and success in multiple or expanded contexts.
