Focus Countries and Themes

In this wave, THET welcomes grant applications from Health Partnerships addressing the identified health priorities in the following three countries:

Ethiopia: Those applying for grants in Ethiopia must note that the Ethiopian Federal Ministry of Health has requested that, upon award of a grant, successful applicants:
Approach the regional or zonal health bureau about the intentions of their intervention during project development, with an explanation of the project and how it is relevant to the health care development and priorities of the Federal Ministry of Health.
Sign a Memorandum of Understanding with the relevant regional or zonal health bureau, to include roles and responsibilities regarding, for example, the sharing of project documentation, reporting, involvement in final evaluations and the involvement of representatives of regional or zonal health offices in review meetings.
Somalia: Due to complex security requirements, and extremely high in-country risks, they do not expect UK volunteers to travel internationally to Somalia. Instead, they encourage applicants to explore models of delivery that include, but are not limited to, remote-learning, UK-based capacity development (i.e. with Somalian healthcare workers travelling to the UK), or capacity development based in neighbouring countries (e.g. individuals from Somalian and UK healthcare institutions conducting capacity development initiatives together in Kenya).
Somaliland: Due to the increased risk and complexity of operating in Somaliland, the THET Somaliland office will provide security and logistical support in-country to all grant holders. This will include:
Pre-trip meetings with the health partnership project manager/s which will include advice on which THET-approved accommodation to book;
Pre-departure and in-country inductions for every volunteer;
The provision of in-country transport and security escorts;
The provision of a safety equipment pack (phone, satellite phone, emergency cash, first aid kit);
Daily security reviews and scheduled check-ins with THET Somaliland staff.
Crisis support, including:
Access to UN Humanitarian Air Service flights;
Support in hibernation and evacuation;
Access to INSO (Somalia and Somaliland security NGO);
Access to staff trained in crisis management and HEIST (Hostile Environment Individual Safety Training).
Support, where needed, with transferring funds from the UK to Somaliland.
