Objectives

Projects selected from this call will aim to: 

• Support the sustainable strengthening of health systems and their resilience in order to face stressors that weaken those systems, such as pandemics, and promote the delivery of quality, gender-responsive health care services so the most vulnerable, in particular women, adolescents and children, can achieve their health and nutrition rights, including sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR).

As a first step, this call will invite eligible organizations to submit concept notes that describe how their projects will adopt an integrated multi-sectoral approach to strengthening health systems especially in terms of primary health care delivery, including SRHR, and at the community level. In a second step, selected applicants will be invited to submit a full application package.

This call will contribute to Canada's 10-year commitment to global health and rights.
