The Enterprise Challenge Fund Project Completion Report documents the outcomes of the Enterprise Challenge Fund (ECF) pilot program from 2007 until 2013. Over the course of 6 years, the ECF held three bidding rounds, awarded A$11.012 million in grants to 21 projects that increased the incomes of 78,154 people by an estimated A$8.179 million in 3 years. This will increase in future years and it is estimated that by 2015, the full cost of the ECF program will have been converted into income for the poor.

This report looks at the activities undertaken and results achieved over the 6 years and assess key lessons and makes recommendations on future options.
