With the Health Partnerships – Global funding programme we are supporting existing and new partnership projects with various health-related topics around the globe.

Many institutions in the health sector in Germany already maintain peer-to-peer links and working relationships with health institutions in developing countries and emerging economies. We wish to support this engagement. Peer-to-peer partnerships build capacities and generate the fresh ideas needed to deliver demand-driven services to people in partner countries. The funding programme enables partners to implement these ideas in a way that sustainably improves health care for the people concerned.

We support your activities with up to EUR 50,000 over a maximum period of two years. If follow-on funding is approved, partnerships may receive additional years of funding. We usually publish a call for proposals twice a year. You may apply for funding for travel expenses, training costs and, to a limited extent, for materials and equipment, and administrative costs.
