Description
The World Health Organization (WHO), through the Alliance for Health Policy and Systems Research, provides funding to support research and institutional partnerships aimed at strengthening health systems and informing policy, with a focus on low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). Funding calls target key health system challenges, such as vaccine uptake and knowledge system capacity, and emphasize co-production between researchers and policy-makers, gender equity, and locally led approaches. The Alliance operates both as a funder and a collaborative partner, promoting impactful research that informs real-world decision-making and policy implementation.
