Manchester Global Foundation coordinated the development of a £42 million DFID grant proposal aimed at the improvement of, and increased access to, essential health for the Syrian people inside Syria including those still in their own homes and IDPs. The bid incorporated both direct service provision plus modalities of working through local Syrian partners. The bid, finalised in March 2016, was developed across the network of Doctors of the World (UK), Medicos del Mundo (Spain) and Médecins du Monde (France).
