Introduction & Scale-Up of Postpartum Hemorrhage Products COF
Announcements
Due to recent significant reductions in our funding envelope, the PPH COF has completed its final open call, competitive cycle. The PPH Cycle 12 application cycle scheduled to open April 20 will not proceed, and no new awards will be funded.
All active PPH Product COF grants will be honored and managed through to completion.
Any updates will be posted here and distributed via community listservs.
By requiring projects to align with government priorities and strategies, the fund helped ensure that product introductions were more effective, optimally sequenced, better integrated into country health systems, and more likely to achieve sustainable, lasting impact. We are grateful for the strong partnerships with grant recipients, local partners, and Ministries of Health, and proud of the progress made together in advancing access to essential PPH commodities and interventions.
The Postpartum Hemorrhage Product Catalytic Opportunity Fund (PPH COF) is a flexible pool of funds to support government-led, catalytic activities to introduce and scale-up priority and evidence-based, lifesaving medicines and medical devices that prevent, detect, and treat PPH, a leading cause of maternal mortality, in low and lower-middle-income countries.
Catalytic opportunities eligible for funding are broadly defined as activities that address key targeted barriers or unlock critical enablers to accelerate and sustain access to priority PPH products.
Opportunities should demonstrate how they will lead to tangible, time-bound results for introduction and scale up. PPH COF proposals must be government-endorsed to advance national priorities, clearly connecting to the country's broader, comprehensive approach for PPH management, and should leverage and build sustainable processes, systems, and resources for introduction and scale-up.
