Call for Expressions of Interest: Assessing efforts towards universal financial risk protection in low- and middle-income countries
Deadline for submission: June 30th, 2009
The Alliance HPSR and the Health Systems Financing Department (WHO) are launching a new programme of work that aims to explore and compare country-specific experiences in developing and implementing universal financial risk protection, with a focus on the factors that have helped or hindered the expansion of financial protection mechanisms. We are interested in learning both from positive and negative experiences. It is envisaged that the final product of this programme of country case-study work will be a book encompassing all of the case-studies, and highlighting cross-cutting policy lessons and issues that are applicable beyond the case-study countries.
Research teams are encouraged to submit Expressions of Interest (EoI) by June 30th, 2009. These EoI will be technically reviewed. Research teams that submit the most promising EOI will be invited to a proposal development workshop, where applicants will work with technical advisers to develop proposals for 12 to 18 months of work. Researchers in low and middle income countries are eligible to apply to this call for proposals.
