Grants and Contributions

Project activities include: (1) establishing cohorts with population groups with distinct SRHR needs in selected rural and urban areas; (2) estimating SRH-related disease burden, risk factors and outcomes in different populations with distinct SRH needs; (3) understanding COVID-19-related susceptibility, role in transmission dynamics and clinical outcomes in different populations with distinct SRH needs and vulnerability; (4) assessing the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the behaviour, practice and health of different populations with SRH distinct needs; (5) setting up invention and innovation hubs through selective inventions and innovations designed, developed and tested for promoting prevention and protection and for improving treatment; (6) conducting research prioritisation exercise for promoting prevention and protection and for improving treatment; (7) establishing a health facility network of selective public and private facilities providing SRHR services; (8) assessing the service availability, accessibility, readiness and quality of essential SRHR services in selective public and private facilities; (9) tracking the trend and pattern of SRHR service utilisation and case-mix in selective public and private facilities; and (10) creating SRH interest group, developing short course on SRHR programs and research.

Project activities include: (1) equipping and upgrading health facilities for: safer deliveries and newborn care, treating infections and malnutrition, facilitating eHealth applications, and improved disposal of biomedical waste; (2) training facility-based health workers and health care managers on topics including human resource management, use of clinical guidelines, evidence-based decision-making, and gender equality; (3) mobilizing local communities to adopt healthy behaviours; (4) providing essential health services at the community level; (5) training health workers and communities to collect, analyze and use administrative health data and contribute to reporting data through government information systems; and (6) engaging key project stakeholders on the results of project impact assessments and their relevance to policy dialogue.

At the end of the project, the organization will have identified and reviewed policies and practices of service providers that cater to a diverse clientele, including Muslim women, law enforcement agencies, legal clinics and religious organizations. A guide for systemic review of policies and practices according to criteria for anti-Islamophobic, culturally sensitive, and fair policies and practices will be developed, and CCMW will have trained the stakeholders on its use.

The specific objectives of this funding opportunity are to continue to:

Enable a comprehensive and timely understanding of the biological, clinical, social, and population health implications of emerging SARS-CoV-2 VOCs and their relevance for public health, health systems and policy;
Provide an integrated platform within Canada to focus on VOCs research through coordination across different disciplines and surveillance efforts with relevant local, national, and international partners; and
Continue to provide high-quality and real-time data on urgent and emerging research priorities in support of Canada rapid response to emerging SARS-COV2 variants, including through building and supporting capacity in all aspects of VOC related research.

Project activities include: (1) supporting countries in developing individual RMNCAH-N investment cases to align sources of financing to national priorities; (2) clinical interventions such as increasing access to health services and health facilities from the pre-pregnancy stage onwards for women, newborns and children; (3) health systems interventions such as strengthening health systems, strengthening health information systems and increasing access to medical products/technologies; and (4) multi-sectoral interventions in multiple sectors such as education, nutrition, and water and sanitation and strengthening of CRVS systems.
