Civil Society Organizations from 30 IHP+ countries are invited to submit proposal for funding of health policy work at national level. The Health Policy Action Fund has issued this call for proposals to provide grants of up to $30,000 per grantee for a period of 18 months starting April 2012.
CSO Health Coalitions and Networks working on a broad range of health policy issues at national level can apply for this opportunity.
IHP+ is currently comprised of 55 partners, of which 30 are developing countries, who have committed themselves to accelerate better health results in low and middle income countries by putting the Paris principles on aid effectiveness into practice in health.
The HPAF aims to support southern civil society organizations, networks and coalitions to become more effectively engaged in national health policy processes. Supported by the grants, recipients engage in health policy and implementation monitoring and analysis, policy dialogue with key national health stakeholders, and hold governments and aid donors accountable to work towards achieving universal and equitable access to health care and the health-related Millennium Development Goals.
This fund is now open to support health organisations, networks and coalitions for health policy work in 30 IHP+ countries, in 2012-13. The IHP+ countries are: Benin, Burkina Faso, Burundi, Cambodia, Cameroon, Cape Verde, Chad, DRC, Djibouti, El Salvador, Ethiopia, Guinea, Ivory Coast, Kenya, Madagascar, Mali, Mauritania, Mozambique, Nepal, Niger, Nigeria, Pakistan, Rwanda, Senegal, Sierra Leone, Sudan, Togo, Uganda, Vietnam, and Zambia.
