Fleming Fund - Country and Regional Grants and Fellowships Programme
UK - Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC)
This is an Official Development Assistance (ODA) funded project from the UK 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. A management agent, Mott MacDonald, has been appointed to deliver: (1) Country grants across up to 25 LMICs; (2) Regional grants in West Africa, East and Southern Africa, South Asia and Southeast Asia; (3) Global projects; and (4) A fellowships programme. These initiatives aim to improve laboratory capacity and diagnosis, data generation and use, and strengthen AMR surveillance systems. Through the country, regional and strategic grants, and the fellowships programme the Fleming Fund will: (1) Build laboratory capacity for diagnosis; (2) Collect data on drug resistance, drug quality, drug use and the burden of disease associated with AMR; (3) Enable the sharing of data relevant to AMR locally, regionally, and internationally; (4) Encourage the application of data to promote the rational use of antimicrobials; (5) Shape a sustainable system for AMR surveillance and data sharing; and (5) Increase national leadership in addressing AMR.
Fleming Fund - United Nations Antimicrobial Resistance Multi Party Trust Fund (AMR MPTF)
UK - Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC)
This is an Official Development Assistance (ODA) funded project from the UK 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. This is a contribution to the United Nations Antimicrobial Resistance Multi Party Trust Fund (AMR-MPTF) - the joint funding mechanism for the AMR Quadripartite made up of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), the World Health Organization (WHO), the World Organisation for Animal Health (WOAH) and the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP). The AMR Quadripartite seeks to combat the threat of antimicrobial drug resistance through strategic collaboration, sustainable streams of capital, and Sustainable Development Goal-focused responses that support localised One Health* National Action Plans. (*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.) This project was not put out to an open, competitive tender process because these UN agencies are the only existing organisations in the world with a global mandate to work on AMR with their level of influence and reach. WHO has a unique mandate on human health and coordinates AMR and health workforce plans at regional and country level (something that no other organisation is able to do). FAO is uniquely placed to contribute to the international efforts to address AMR and to provide support to governments, producers, traders, and other stakeholders to adopt measures to minimise the use of antimicrobials and to reduce AMR, while also sensitive to the needs of the food and agriculture sector worldwide. WOAH is the intergovernmental organisation responsible for improving animal health and welfare worldwide. This is the only strategic, inter-sectoral, multi-stakeholder initiative to leverage the Quadripartite’s convening and coordinating power and provide technical expertise to mitigate the risk of AMR.

Fleming Fund - Website Development and Maintenance
UK - Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC)
This is an Official Development Assistance (ODA) funded project from the UK 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. This contract supports the hosting and maintenance of the Fleming Fund website, an external-facing sites that hosts information on Fleming Fund country, regional, and global grants and the fellowship scheme. The website supports the Fund to raise awareness of AMR in LMICs and reflects the breadth of the Fund’s work. It supports the communication and sharing of programme information including publications, news articles, and funding announcements. The website is an integral part of the Fleming Fund’s wider communications strategy. The first supplier was procured through an open, competitive process. The second supplier was contracted using a direct award via the government Crown Commercial Service which offers better value for money and beneficial terms to government agencies for off the shelf solutions.
Fleming Fund - Caribbean Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) Surveillance Strengthening Project (PAHO)
UK - Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC)
This is an Official Development Assistance (ODA) funded project from the UK 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. This project is delivered in partnership with the Pan American Health Organisation (PAHO) and will strengthen efforts to combat AMR across the ten ODA-eligible Caribbean Community (CARICOM) Member States and through Barbados as a regional hub for External Quality Assurance. This will be achieved by enhancing infrastructure and building health workforce capacity in laboratories for the detection and surveillance of AMR, strengthening AMR emergency response and stewardship, and developing AMR data management and digital systems. Through catalytic investment in national systems, these interventions seek to support completion of AMR National Action Plans, increase reporting from the region to global AMR data repositories such as the Global AMR Surveillance System (GLASS) and strengthen use of AMR data to inform changes in policy, regulatory and clinical practice. This project was not put out to an open, competitive tender process because PAHO has a unique position to support in-country AMR activity and a unique mandate to support the Fleming Fund objectives on the implementation of National Action Plans. It is also the only regional office of the World Health Organisation in this area, which has a unique global mandate on human health.

International Health Regulations Strengthening Project (IHR-SP)
UK - Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC)
This is an Official Development Assistance (ODA) funded project from the UK 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. This project was not put out to an open, competitive tender process because UKHSA is an executive agency of DHSC with a mandate to deliver on pandemic preparedness and therefore exempt from the tender process as it is within DHSC’s body of expertise.
Fleming Fund - Independent Evaluation
UK - Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC)
This is an Official Development Assistance (ODA) funded project from the UK Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC) to independently evaluate its 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. The independent evaluation will assess how far the outputs of the portfolio of country, regional, and global grants, and the Fleming Fellowships, contribute to the outcomes and impact identified by DHSC. Six specific questions were agreed during the inception phase for the evaluation and in answering these, the evaluation intends to meet three objectives: (1) In 2019, the evaluation will generate learning to inform course correction and adaptation in phase 1; (2) In late 2020, the evaluation’s focus will shift to providing an independent summative judgement of the Fund’s results and achievements in phase 1; (3) At the end of phase 2 the evaluation will provide an independent summative judgement of the Fund’s results and achievements in phase 2.

Better Lives for Somali Women and Children
UK - Foreign, Commonwealth Development Office (FCDO)
To achieve UK's manifesto commitment of reducing preventable deaths, the Better Lives for Somali Women and Children will continue to respond to the health and nutrition needs of the Somali people. There will be a continued focus on delivering an essential package of health services. The programme will strengthen the Somali Health Authorities oversight of service provision, which will in turn promote local accountability and allow them increasingly to respond to the needs of their populations. This programme approach aims to support long term sustainability and state building that is part of the wider strategic agenda. There will also be a climate change mitigation component (ICF) within the programme.
Somalia Monitoring Programme Phase 3
UK - Foreign, Commonwealth Development Office (FCDO)
Somalia Monitoring Programme Phase 3 aims to generate and promote use of better evidence and statistics to define, deliver and adjust FCDO programmes in Somalia. It is designed to ensure that British Embassy Mogadishu (BEM), Somali officials and the international community have access to the evidence and statistics needed to ensure programmes and policies are targeted, effective and adaptive; and that risks are identified and managed. SMP 3 involves two key components: the first is Third-Party Monitoring and Learning (TPML) of UK (FCDO) programming in the field, to ensure that our activities deliver expected outcomes, and Campaign Goals in the Somalia Country Plan. The second is support to the Somali National Statistics System to collect, analyse, and use key data enabling the authorities to better target policies and systems that deliver development outcomes.
UK investment in the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria 2023-2025

To tackle the immediate impact of the three most deadly infectious diseases – HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis and malaria – and put the international community on the right track to end the three diseases as epidemics by 2030.
MOBILIST - Mobilising Institutional Capital Through Listed Product Structures
UK - Foreign, Commonwealth Development Office (FCDO)
FCDO seeks to support the development of new products that have the ambition to list on major and local exchanges, and by doing so, engage new sources of investment and new investors, to help bridge the SDG financing gap, estimated by the UN to total $2.5 trillion p.a. ODA flows alone will not meet the needs of developing countries, and new sources of private investment will be essential if the SDGs are to be met by 2030. The programme will work with UK-based financial service providers and providers across FCDO priority countries and more widely, working to help mobilise more capital to reach the hardest places, and where the needs are greatest.
Water, Sanitation and Hygiene Systems for Health
UK - Foreign, Commonwealth Development Office (FCDO)
WASH Systems for Health will support governments in up to five developing countries in sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia to strengthen the systems needed to establish reliable, resilient and inclusive WASH services over five years. The programme will contribute to better health, nutrition and education, especially for poorer households and communities, and for women and girls in particular - and will be core to the UK’s approach to ending the preventable deaths of mothers, young children and infants (EPD). The programme’s focus on systems marks a fundamental shift in FCDO’s approach to WASH. Our new approach will enhance the sustainability of WASH services; it will ensure that women are empowered to take informed decisions about the services they receive; and it will attract new public and private finance to accelerate progress towards SDG 6 WASH targets – including universal access to safely managed WASH services.
Improving Essential Equipment for aided Overseas Territories
UK - Foreign, Commonwealth Development Office (FCDO)
The programme will pay for essential equipment to the islands of Montserrat, St Helena and Tristan da Cunha. This includes essential healthcare screening equipment for hospital use, fire safety and sea rescue equipment as well as a new generator on Montserrat. The programme will ensure the islands are equipped with life safety equipment. In the case of Montserrat, the generator will provide energy supply on the island and is a required due to maintenance and repair of existing generators being no longer commercially viable. These Overseas Territories remains highly dependent on UK ODA support and the specified life safety equipment is not available. This programme will enhance economic development and contribute to the welfare of people on the aided Overseas Territories.
Enhancing Gender Outcomes through Social Services Systems Strengthening (Samartha)
UK - Foreign, Commonwealth Development Office (FCDO)
This programme will focus on improving the systems and capacity of local government to deliver its social service mandates with a specific focus on improving access to quality health and education services, especially by women, girls and excluded groups. This will be complemented with national policy support in the Health and Education sectors to ensure sector policies and resource allocations align to support Nepal in building responsive and resilient Health and Education systems.
