L’Initiative uses these resources to offer individualized support that is tailored to the needs of stakeholders in partner countries. It helps eligible countries prepare applications for funding from the Global Fund and supports them throughout the process to increase the impact grants have on the ground. Through an in-depth understanding of the field, the L’Initiative teams and external experts work closely with local partners to support them and build capacity. They propose innovative and appropriate solutions to initiate changes in practices and accelerate the response to major pandemics.

We strive to achieve
this ambition in three
different ways:

Providing technical assistance

We call on experts, most often local or regional experts, to facilite access to Global Found resources and to incrase coutries’ long terme capacity to fight pandemics.

Funding development projets

We supports projets that aim to strenghten healtcare systems, assist the most vulnerable, conduct operational research, and mobilize local skills.

Supporting neglected challenges

We support the public sector and civil society to develop innovative approches in respond to under-invested issues (such as human ressources for health) and to drive changes in public policies and pratices.
