Wales4Africa Health Links Grant Scheme

The Welsh Government has launched a new round of the Wales4Africa Health Links Grant Scheme. The scheme supports projects that make links with healthcare systems and medical education and training in sub-Saharan Africa.

The scheme forms part of Wales's contribution, as stated in the One Wales document, to contribute to delivery of the UN Millennium Development Goals to halve global poverty by 2015.

As well as benefitting African countries, this grant scheme also benefits Wales through supporting the professional development of NHS and other healthcare sector workers in Wales, giving them unique and challenging opportunities to develop their skills and experience.  

Applications for funding should be between £2,000 and £15,000, but all funding applications will be considered. Projects must be primarily non-capital (ie not building work or equipment).

The work is spread across some of the poorest countries in the world; including Ethiopia, Mali, Uganda, Sierra Leone, Zimbabwe, Ethiopia, Liberia, Chad and Gambia, and currently-funded projects include areas of paediatric, antenatal, emergency, obstetric, neonatal and anaesthetic medicine.

Any organisation in the healthcare field in Wales, public or voluntary, can apply to access the grants if they have a project that they feel can contribute to the Millennium Development Goals and provide benefits to Wales, such as the skill development of Welsh health professionals.

The deadline for receipt of applications is 23 January 2013.
