AdditionalInformationOnEligibility: Assistance will be provided only to the United Nations Foundation.  No other applications are solicited.  Eligibility is limited to the United Nations Foundation (UNF) because it is the most appropriate and qualified agency to conduct the activities under this cooperative agreement:      UNF is the only organization whose mission is to serve as the global advocate for United Nations Programs.  The UNF seeks to support the goals and objectives of the United Nations and its Charter to promote a more peaceful, prosperous, and just world &#239;&#191;&#189; with special emphasis on the UN&#239;&#191;&#189;s work, especially on behalf of economic, social, environmental and humanitarian causes.  The UNF lists children&#239;&#191;&#189;s health as one of its top four program priorities. Within this priority lies the support of programs seeking to reduce childhood mortality.
Description: The purpose of the program is to support global measles control and mortality reduction by facilitating the provision of bundled measles containing vaccine, and technical, laboratory, programmatic consultants, and other services, as needed, to the governments of measles endemic countries. Note: The term &#239;&#191;&#189;bundled&#239;&#191;&#189; refers to vaccine and supplies required to ensure safe injections and safe disposal of vaccine vials and injection materials. Additionally, measles vaccine procurement may include the purchase of vaccine containing antigens for measles (M), measles and rubella (MR), or measles, mumps and rubella (MMR) as per requirements set forth under specific national immunization policies of countries supported under this agreement.
