Deadline: 11 June 2014
The Innovating for Maternal and Child Health in Africa program is inviting Program Proposals from Health Policy and Research Organizations (HPROs).
The Innovating for Maternal and Child Health in Africa program aims to improve maternal, newborn, and child health outcomes by strengthening equitable health systems, using primary health care as an entry point.
Two Health Policy and Research Organizations will be selected – one for West Africa and one for East Africa. The Health Policy and Research Organizations will be linked with Implementation Research Teams working within their respective regions. The selected Health Policy and Research Organizations will function as catalysts and enablers for moving research evidence generated by the selected teams to policy and practice within the sub-Saharan region, therefore enabling connections between research and decision-making.
Project duration is 68 months. Approximately CA$2.5 million each will be awarded to two selected HPROs.
Eligibility Criteria –
- The program must be implemented in one of the following African countries – Ethiopia, Ghana, Malawi, Mali, Mozambique, Nigeria, Senegal, South Sudan, and Tanzania.
- Applying Organizations (or the lead organization of a consortium) must –
- Be a non-partisan, not-for-profit organization legally founded and registered as an independent entity in the country of operation. A consortium can include only non-partisan and not-for-profit organizations.
- Be an African organization.
- United Nations agencies and international organizations based in Africa or overseas are ineligible to be the lead organization or to be part of a consortium.
- Support a health policy development and implementation mandate through knowledge brokering, analysis, and research.
- Work in at least one of the targeted countries and demonstrate willingness and capacity to expand their work in all the other targeted countries in the selected HPRO region (East or West).
