Call for regional project proposals Occitanie<\/p><\/div>\n

The Fondation Pierre Fabre\u2019s call for regional project proposals, the first of which was in 2016, targets cooperative partners in the Occitanie region implementing initiatives that support improved healthcare in the Global South. It is an expression of the Foundation\u2019s commitment to supporting local associations working in the health and healthcare realms.<\/p>\n

Since 2002,\u00a0nearly sixty varied initiatives<\/strong>\u00a0have received financial support from the Foundation totalling more than\u00a0\u20ac580,000<\/strong>.\u00a0The Occitanie Coop\u00e9ration network<\/a>, of which the Fondation Pierre Fabre has been a member for several years, will provide advice and assistance to organisations wishing to respond to the call for projects and will make the request.<\/p>\n

Grant-eligible projects must have missions<\/strong>\u00a0intended to improve the conditions in which people in the Global South have access to quality healthcare or medicines and\/or to improve healthcare worker skills. The call for projects therefore concerns any initiative in the following areas:

\n–\u00a0Improving maternal and child health
\n–\u00a0Supporting national health systems and access to medical care
\n–\u00a0Strengthening the skills of healthcare personnel
\n– Research projects
\n–\u00a0Developing eHealth solutions<\/p>\n

To be eligible, projects must:

\n– Not exceed two years in duration
\n– Benefit a French-speaking country in sub-Saharan Africa, Madagascar, the Caribbean (other than French departments) or Southeast Asia (Laos, Vietnam, Cambodia)
\n– Involve one or more local partners<\/p>\n

The winning projects, which will receive the funding awarded by the Fondation Pierre Fabre, will be presented at a ceremony at the Foundation\u2019s headquarters in Lavaur.<\/p>\n
