L’Initiative is a funding mechanism implemented by Expertise France launched at the end of 2011, which complements the work of the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria. It provides technical assistance and catalytic funding to Global Fund recipient countries to improve the effectiveness of their grants and strengthen the health impact of funded programs. In this way, L’Initiative contributes to ensuring the effectiveness of pandemic responses and health systems.

Strengthening health systems at all levels (community to national)

This call will select proposals that complement and / or support Global Fund investments, contributing to building or strengthening a health system at community or national level that is sustainable, resilient, gender-sensitive and enables equal access to quality services for populations, particularly in the response to the three pandemics. Projects must be catalytic – i.e. they should be capable of changing practices and / or policies. Projects that anticipate the potential for scale up as well as the sustainable integration of evidence-based good project practices into national and regional public health policies will be considered favorably. L’Initiative is a donor that encourages innovative and pilot approaches.
