The Foreign Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) remains committed to investing in Product Development Partnerships and other global health Research and Development organisations. We plan to launch a call for proposals for funding the development of products and technologies to combat diseases of poverty, for use in Low and Lower Middle Income Countries.

At this stage, FCDO plans to invest approximately £230 million in new funding for product development research for health over a 3 - 4 year period from 2023/24.
