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.

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.
Capacity Building in Sub-Saharan Africa via Core Physics (Spectroscopy) for Women?s Health Equity
DEPARTMENT FOR SCIENCE, INNOVATION AND TECHNOLOGY
This project is a physics-led initiative aimed at building sustainable research capacity in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) through hands-on training in applied physics, optical spectroscopy, and data-driven innovation. SSA faces a critical shortage of local expertise in core physics areas such as spectroscopy, limiting the region?s ability to develop, maintain, and apply advanced scientific techniques. By empowering early-career researchers with practical skills in spectroscopy and analytical methods, this project promotes equitable scientific participation and strengthens the foundations for long-term innovation in health and technology. The project will focus on developing low-cost, rapid, and non-invasive diagnostic tools for women?s health conditions, specifically ovarian cancer and endometriosis, which are often underdiagnosed in SSA. These conditions have significant health impacts and are exacerbated by limited awareness, delayed diagnosis, and lack of affordable medical tests. By integrating physics-led capacity building with applied medical diagnostics research, the project aims to bridge the gap between fundamental science and societal benefit, demonstrating how core physics knowledge can directly address pressing development challenges. Project objectives: Develop and optimise vibrational spectroscopy methods for detecting women?s health biomarkers in liquid biopsy samples using cell-line models as proof-of-concept. Train early-career SSA researchers in optical spectroscopy, instrumentation, data analysis, and AI-assisted diagnostics through workshops, joint experiments, and mentoring. Design a compact, signal-enhanced spectroscopic platform capable of detecting disease biomarkers efficiently and cost-effectively. Foster equitable, long-term partnerships between UK and SSA institutions, enabling local leadership in applied physics research and biomedical innovation. The research programme consists of interlinked work packages covering experimental spectroscopy, AI-assisted data analysis, capacity building, and project management. UK and SSA teams will co-develop spectroscopic protocols, standardise measurements, and create open-access workflows for data analysis. Portable spectroscopy platforms will enable SSA partners to perform reliable biomarker measurements, supporting both research and teaching. The societal and developmental impact of this project is significant. By focusing on women?s health, it directly addresses gendered health inequities in SSA, improving awareness and detection of ovarian cancer and endometriosis. Simultaneously, it empowers more than 15 early-career SSA researchers with advanced physics and data-science skills, fostering sustainable local expertise. Outreach and engagement activities?such as school workshops and public demonstrations?will promote gender equality in STEM, inspire young learners, and increase the visibility of women scientists and leaders. Ultimately, this project demonstrates how investing in physics-led capacity building can drive scientific excellence, innovation, and societal benefit. By combining fundamental physics, AI-based spectral analysis, and local training, it ensures that both immediate health-related outcomes and long-term capacity-building goals are achieved. This initiative strengthens SSA research ecosystems, promotes equitable participation in science, and delivers practical solutions for pressing women?s health challenges?exemplifying the transformative impact of physics on global development.
