Details

The authors of this report were contracted as independent experts to assess the 10 projects funded. The Modern Slavery Innovation Fund (Phase 1) accounted for £5.7 million and ran from March 2017 to March 2019.

Of the 10 projects reviewed, 8 projects achieved straight As for progress towards outcomes and 2 projects scored a mixture of grades.

The reviewers note that:

The MSIF was genuinely an innovation fund, supporting original thinking on modern slavery. Allowing for a more experimental ‘start-up phase’ (as Phase 1 of the MSIF could be considered) has the potential to generate important insights into new methodologies and allow newer entrants to a thematic area an opportunity to demonstrate their ‘value add’ – whether on modern slavery or other issues.
