UKPHS will see 6-8 strategic grants awarded in 10 LMICs, including Sierra Leone, to deliver improved health worker and health service performance for poor and vulnerable populations. In addition, smaller grants will also be awarded across a much larger range of countries that test innovative approaches to specific health system challenges, and seek to embed health partnerships in learning and development approach for the health workforce.

These teams will ensure a standardised approach, tools and systems for the delivery in each country, adapted as necessary to the local context.
