Call for Proposals for the second round of Health Policy Action Fund grants

We would like to draw your attention to the recent Call for Proposals for the second round of Health Policy Action Fund grants.  As you may know, IHP+ has funded a small grants scheme since 2010, which has been managed by Oxfam under the name Health Policy Action Fund (HPAF). The HPAF aims to support southern civil society organizations, especially health CSO networks and coalitions, to become more effectively engaged in national health policy processes. The grants are intended to enocourage greater CSO engagement in health planning, monitoring, review and accountability processes with key national health stakeholders.  In Round One, 13 grantees from 9 IHP+ countries received funding over a 12-month period.  In Round 2, the funding period will cover 18 months, from April 2012 - October 2013.
The Call for Proposals is open until 28 February.  Further details, including proposal forms and criteria for selection, can be found on the HPAF website:   www.healthpolicyactionfund.org
We encourage you to circulate this information widely to all potential candidates in your country.  
Kind regards, 
IHP+ Core Team
