ESTHER Switzerland approved a first round of Grants for institutional health cooperation projects between Swiss and LMIC health hospitals and institutions in the area of sexual and reproductive health and rights including HIV/AIDS. In this first round, ESTHER Switzerland was able to support 6 projects with full grants and 3 start-up projects (small grants designed to support the preparatory and exploratory phase for an eventual new project).
All projects are located in Sub-Saharan Africa, with the exception of one start-up grant located in Nepal. More information about the projects can be found here
For each projects a 2-3 pages presentation can be downloaded. ESTHER Switzerland will soon launch a new call for proposals for 2017 projects; more information will be published online soon. For additional information about those projects of about the activities of ESTHER Switzerland, you can address yourself to Luciano Ruggia, ESTHER Project Manager, Luciano.ruggia@ispm.unibe.ch
