The Health Partnerships Scheme
In Spring 2012 NICE International was successful in gaining funding from the health partnerships scheme. The funding stream lasts for three years and will be used for projects to provide advice on the processes and methods of using evidence to inform policy in low-income and middle-income countries.
The focus will be primarily on developing capacity in India and China; and the generation of wider global public goods which can be shared with other countries including Uganda and Afghanistan.
