The applications for support which have been received from Burkina Faso, Cameroon, Ghana, Kenya, Malawi, Mali, Niger, Nigeria, Tanzania, and Zambia are still under consideration, and the peer review process should be completed by the end of October. There will be a recommendation from the SCI Technical Panel to the SCI Advisory Board meeting on October 30th, and the final selection will be announced shortly afterwards. Meanwhile $25,000 is now available for each of these countries to apply for if needed for strengthening base line data or capacity within the Ministries of Health and Education.
