International Health Regulations Strengthening Project (IHR-SP)
UK - Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC)
This is an Official Development Assistance (ODA) funded UKaid project from the Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC). The International Health Regulations Strengthening Project (IHR-SP) provides peer to peer technical expertise, delivered through the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA, formerly Public Health England (PHE)), to support ODA-eligible public health partners in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) to prepare, prevent, detect and respond to global health threats and increase compliance with the International Health Regulations (IHR), 2005. IHR-SP works bilaterally with four priority partner countries (Nigeria, Pakistan, Ethiopia, and Zambia) and three regions (Africa (primarily through Africa CDC), the Eastern Mediterranean, and Southeast Asia). These partnerships reduce the impact of public health emergencies and enhance partner countries' health security, and in turn, global health security. Activities are based on requests from partner countries, in partnership with National Public Health Institutes, Ministries of Health, and regional organisations, etc. To achieve its aims, the IHR-SP works with public health institutions in priority countries, with assessed need for improved IHR capacity and capability and significant UK links and diaspora. They work with regional bodies, such as Africa CDC, where there is also the potential to amplify the impact of our investment. The project focuses on three key priority areas: (1) Build technical capabilities of public health institutions and public health bodies; (2) Strengthen leadership and management capabilities, as well as support workforce development of partner countries and organisations; and (3) Further develop sustainable resilient public health systems and networks.
Fleming Fund - Sierra Leone Country Grant (WHO) Human Health
UK - Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC)
This is an Official Development Assistance (ODA) funded UKaid project from the Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC)’s Fleming Fund which helps to fight antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) where the burden of drug-resistant infection is greater.

However, as the grant is delivered by WHO, it has been signed directly with DHSC. The grant aims to develop a robust AMR diagnostic stewardship programme in Sierra Leone, increasing the data collected, analysed, and used. At the national level, it will integrate AMR surveillance into other areas of work at sector and integrated surveillance levels. Efforts will be made to increase health workforce capacity to perform advanced microbiology testing techniques. In addition, coordination will be strengthened following One Health* principles, and practitioner engagement and policy initiatives will be implemented to encourage the use of AMR data. (*One Health is an integrated, unifying approach that aims to sustainably balance and optimise the health of people, animals and ecosystems. It recognises that the health of humans, domestic and wild animals, plants, and the wider environment (including ecosystems) are closely linked and interdependent.)
