Registration is the starting point

WAN seeks delivery organisations that are legally established with the relevant government authority and hold the permissions needed for their activities. Hospitals must be able to evidence facility permissions and the relevant professionals’ current licences. Public hospitals should explain their statutory authority and who can enter an agreement. Visiting specialists also need the relevant local permissions, agreed scope, appropriate indemnity and safeguarding arrangements.

Requirements differ between Pakistan, Indonesia and Malaysia. Evidence must be checked against the applicable country and local rules, including permission to receive overseas funding where required. Registration is not a substitute for clinical or operational competence.

• Doctors may introduce a proposal through a licensed institution; this route is not a request for grants to a personal bank account.
• Use the organisation’s legal name and an authorised contact. Explain related organisations, subcontractors and potential conflicts of interest.
• An organisation awaiting registration can ask about requirements, but should not present itself as funding-ready.

What is considered during due diligence?

Checks should be proportionate to the size, location and risk of the work, with decisions and unresolved issues recorded. Documents are requested through an agreed channel after initial contact.

• Legal identity, leadership, signatory authority, references and relevant sanctions or other legal restrictions.
• Programme experience, staffing, capacity, clinical governance where relevant and realistic delivery plans.
• Safeguarding, protection from exploitation and abuse, safe complaints routes, consent and confidentiality.
• Accounts, financial controls, procurement, fraud prevention, organisational banking and the ability to evidence expenditure.
• Local risk, continuity arrangements and oversight of any other organisation involved in delivery.

What should the MoU and funding agreement cover?

Agree the scope and legal parties before signing. The title “MoU” does not itself determine whether a document is binding. The appropriate agreement should be checked for the circumstances and signed by people with authority on both sides.

• Purpose, location, beneficiaries, responsibilities, dates and agreed outputs.
• Budget, currency, eligible costs, payment conditions, reporting and supporting records.
• Safeguarding, data protection, confidentiality, incident reporting and use of names or images.
• Changes, access to records, monitoring, disputes, suspension, termination and unused or misapplied funds.

What should be transparent to donors and communities?

Agree reporting that distinguishes money transferred, activity delivered and outcomes evidenced. Public updates should describe the reporting period and limitations without exposing patients, children or other people at risk.

People receiving support should have a safe way to ask questions or complain. Assistance should respond to need and respect dignity; consent to publicity must be separate from access to care.

Do not send patient records, identity-document copies, account details or confidential case files with an initial enquiry. No charge or donation is required to make a partnership enquiry.

WAN’s status and the limits of this invitation

This page describes the route for considering proposals. It is not an open grant award, an accreditation scheme or a promise that every eligible organisation will receive funding.

Before signing or transferring funds, the responsible decision-makers must confirm the legal contracting party, authority, applicable requirements and available funds. The proposed CIO name must not be treated as an already registered legal entity.
