UNITAID Call for Proposals 2016: Grants to NGOs for Innovating in Global Health

Deadline: 22 February 2016

UNITAID is currently inviting eligible public or private entity / institution / organization around the world to submit proposals  for its area for intervention: expanding access to preventive chemotherapy in pregnant women.

Areas of Intervention

Under this call, UNITAID is soliciting proposals for the following two interventions with a view to securing a substantial impact on universal access to preventive chemotherapy in pregnant women:

  1. Generate evidence for innovative approaches to delivery and demand generation, to support global guidance & scale-up: Interventions are likely to include developing and testing innovative models of IPTp delivery in a number of countries, which if successful, could inform global guidance and be replicated more broadly. Innovative approaches to IPTp could include new delivery channels and approaches, private sector engagement, demand generation, including incentives for health workers and/or pregnant women, and logistics and stock management.
  2. Support adequate supply of quality SP, including adapted packaging: Interventions are likely to include working with existing sulfadoxine-pyrimethamine (SP) manufacturers to meet international quality standards and providing support/incentives for the activities needed to achieve WHO Prequalification. Expanding the production capacity of existing quality assured SP manufacturers could also be considered. Emphasis should also be placed on developing packaging that would promote SP’s specific use in IPTp.
