Description
1) Objective
Unitaid has launched a call for proposals to catalyze the uptake of Post-Discharge Malaria Chemoprevention (PDMC) strategies, aimed at reducing childhood mortality and hospital readmissions caused by severe anemia, often driven by malaria. This initiative targets low- and middle-income countries, particularly in Africa, where childhood anemia is a significant health issue. The focus is on implementing PDMC across multiple countries while generating evidence to address gaps in knowledge and facilitate national scale-up. Proposals should emphasize the impact, cost-effectiveness, and operationalization of PDMC, with the goal of reducing post-discharge mortality and improving overall child health outcomes.
Projects should include implementation projects, delivered in diverse representative settings, to generate robust, transferable evidence on the impact, operationalization, and cost/cost-effectiveness of PDMC delivery – with a vision to informing national scale-up.
2) Eligibility
Unitaid can provide grants to NGOs and civil society organizations. All Unitaid implementers must demonstrate their established capacity to manage their project.
3) Location
The call focuses on low- and middle-income countries, with an emphasis on regions in Africa where malaria and severe anemia are prevalent. Single-country interventions are out of scope for this Call for Proposals.
4) Budget
Unitaid considers funding size in light of Unitaid’s strategy, available funds, investment required for impact, and existing portfolio of projects. As a general principle, Unitaid aims to fund projects that are targeted and ‘lean’ – that is, scoped at the minimum size required to achieve the desired market impact and public health effects and demonstrate value for money.
5) Application
Full proposals must be submitted by November 4, 2024, at 12:00 noon CET. Proposals must include a theory of change, impact goals, a country engagement model, and robust evidence generation plans.
