Information webinar with the ANH Academy team

9 March 2025. Information webinar with the ANH Academy team about the Request for proposals: ANH Academy Regional Collaboratives

Entering its third phase in 2025, the ANH Academy is building on its growing interdisciplinary community, directing its efforts towards informing and supporting evidence-based policy change, through expanded partnerships in Africa and South Asia. As part of this process, it will establish regional collaborative partnerships—Regional Collaboratives—which will drive the use of evidence and knowledge in policy decision making in Africa and South Asia. The institutions involved in these partnerships will be formally integrated into the ANH Academy, co-managing and co-delivering with existing partners.


The Regional Collaboratives will be key partners in delivering the programme’s Theory of Change, through a co-design and co-delivery model that will foster skills, knowledge, and information needed to drive progressive evidence-based sustainable and equitable food systems policies and programmes for nutrition and health.

Two Regional Collaboratives will be funded, with awards of up to £2.3 million each for a period of 48 months.  The estimated start date is November 2025.

There will be 8–9-month inception phase for Regional Collaborative formation and onboarding, including laying the foundation for ways of working, governance and reporting mechanisms and project related financial systems. We will collaboratively design a review process to evaluate the inception phase progress, assess alignment with the objectives of the ANH Academy Platform and tailor ways of working. Conditional on successful reviews, Regional Collaboratives will operate for 48 months, inclusive of the inception phase.
