AMPATH Global Announces Cross-Partnership Grant Program

The AMPATH Global partnership recently launched a Cross-Partnership Grant Program that provides seed funding to advance cross-partnership collaboration and global partnership for mutual growth across AMPATH priority areas. The program supports projects that strengthen reciprocal learning, innovation, and sustainability—especially those that involve in-country institutions and show potential for scale or replication. 

Current funding cycle: FY2027 – Projects starting July 1, 2026
