UNOPS is the Principal Recipient managing the RAI grant (RAI2E 2018-2020, RAI3E 2021-2023), established by Global Fund in 2018, providing USD 242 million and USD 231 million, respectively, for malaria elimination activities in the Greater Mekong Sub region.
UNOPS as Principal Recipient (PR) in Lao PDR is dedicated to building capacity. The PR aims to strengthen the functional teams within the Ministry of Health and CMPE (Centre for Malariology, Parasitology and Epidemiology), with a focus on the sub-national (provincial) level. The work of the PR with the Department of Communicable Diseases Control (DCDC), Department of Finance (DOF) and Health Information Unit (HIU) will increasingly align with the Ministry of Health’s (MOH) structure, defining a mechanism to transfer capacity to line management functions of existing MoH staff.
