Who Should Apply

  • •Healthcare institutions (hospitals, clinics, public health agencies) based on one of the ABCSSS islands
  • •Educational institutions and non-profit organisations focused on health or health-related services
  • •Organisations committed to spending at least 75% of budget on local implementation
  • •Institutions with capacity to submit proposals in English and manage a 24-month project cycle

Tips for Applicants

  • ✓The 75% local-spend rule is a gate: budget clearly which activities occur on-island versus off-island support; ZonMw will scrutinise every line item.
  • ✓Do not skip the preliminary application even if you have a strong full proposal ready, it is mandatory and sets the selection pool.
  • ✓Frame proposals around concrete system-strengthening outcomes (e.g. new protocols, trained staff, improved access) rather than generic capacity building; health institutions on small islands need demonstrable, scalable change.
