How This Search Works

Advanced Search allows you select a range of criteria which is used to search our database of Equator Initiative nominations. You may select as many factors as you desire but the more criteria you select, the more focused and narrow your search will be.

Example:
Selecting all countries in Africa plus scale equals local and threats equals health will result in a search that will FIND only countries in Africa WHERE the nominations have a local scale AND the threat is health.

Nominations that do not meet all three criteria (countries=africa, scale=local & threat=health) are omitted.
