Bloomberg Philanthropies has launched the Global Grants Program (GGP) targeted to ministries of health, statistical and other relevant agencies at the national, subnational or municipal levels in low-and middle-income countries that have not received funding from the Data for Health (D4H) Initiative.
The Global Grants Program (GGP) supports focused, results-oriented projects that improve public health data in the priority areas of the Data for Health Initiative so that governments are equipped with the tools and systems to collect and use data effectively.
Focus Areas
The Initiative focuses on five areas: civil registration and vital statistics; data use for policymaking; non-communicable disease risk factor surveys, COVID-19 response and development of Cancer Registries.
Funding Information
For the current funding round, up to $150,000 will be awarded for projects to be completed over an 18-month period. Short-term, highly-focused projects with lower budgets are strongly encouraged.
