Grant Management and Capacity Building for Global Health Partnerships by Health Education England

About

Health Education England awarded a contract to Tropical Health and Education Trust for grant management and capacity building to support global health partnerships.

The contract, valued at £1,800,000, involved distributing and managing grants for volunteering and fellowship programmes at NHS providers and ICS/ICBs, as well as in-country activities to stand up capacity in partner countries, including programme facilitators, facilities, translation, and system support linked to Ethical Migratory Pathways.

It also provided technical inputs to HEE programmes, such as development expertise to complement NHS expertise, and promoted health partnership activity through events, digital materials, policy briefings, and toolkits.

The outcomes included increased access to global learning opportunities for NHS staff, greater awareness of the benefits of health partnerships, more appropriate NHS programming for Low- and Middle-Income Countries, and more impactful global programming through better contextualisation and in-country support.
