The IGHN Partnerships Programme (formerly the ESTHER Ireland programme) is a a well-established, cost-effective model for supporting Institutional Health Partnerships funded by Irish Aid and supported by the HSE Global Health Programme. The programme supports partnerships between Irish health institutions and counterparts in low- and middle-income countries to improve health outcomes and strengthen health systems.
The 2024 IGHN Partnerships Programme grant round aims to strengthen partnerships’ capacity to demonstrate their impact by funding MEAL (Monitoring, Evaluation, Accountability, and Learning) activities. By prioritising MEAL, the IGHN aims to equip partnerships with the necessary support to assess their progress, quantify outcomes, and build a solid evidence base.
Applications are invited from Irish health institutions and organisations engaged in established health partnerships with institutions in low- and middle-income countries. NGOs are generally not eligible for IGHN Partnership Programme grants unless they are part of a collaboration with an Irish health service or institution.
The grant application process will open on Tuesday 26th November 2024 through the Common Grant Application platform and will run for over 8 weeks, with applications accepted up to Friday 24th of January 2025.
Partnerships may apply for grants to:
- Build capacity within the partnership in MEAL
- Develop results frameworks
- Implement pilot studies in MEAL: Conduct small-scale studies or assessments to establish baseline data or evaluate the effectiveness of specific interventions
- Conduct data analysis of data gathered from the activities of the partnership
- Impact reporting and documentation: Produce reports or case studies that document the partnership’s impact, capturing qualitative and quantitative data to demonstrate success and lessons learned to funders and stakeholders.
- Other MEAL related activities that support the partnership to demonstrate impact
The ceiling for grants is €3,000. Grants must be spent within 12 months of disbursement.
