The Pandemic Fund announced its third Call for Proposals (3rd CfP) on December 19, 2024, with an envelope of US$500 million. The purpose of the announcement was to outline the structure of the Call and to allow applicants and potential beneficiaries of the Pandemic Fund ample time to begin preparations and consultations. The 3rd CfP launch will occur in two phases: the first phase (Phase I) opens in March 2025 for the submission of single and multi-country proposals and the second phase (Phase II) opens in June 2025 for Regional Entity proposals.
This Guidance Note is part of the application package for Phase I of the 3rd CfP, which is only for the submission of single and multi-country proposals. The application package also includes the application for funding template, which is accessible through an online portal, and the technical scoring and weighting methodology.
Further, in line with the Pandemic Fund’s medium-term Strategic Plan, additional emphasis will be placed on strengthening two cross-cutting enablers, National Public Health Institutes (or relevant public institutions) and regional/global networks, organizations, or hubs aimed at bolstering the institutional foundations that support information sharing, coordination across public health and One Health systems, and rapid action. To ensure that these investments are truly inclusive, proposals are also encouraged to integrate the four underlying themes of the Strategic Plan. These enablers and themes should be integrated within both proposal development and implementation.
