In 2006, the Netherlands Ministry of Foreign Affairs awarded eight grants to public-private Product Development Partnerships (PDPs) working on the development of medicines, vaccines and diagnostics for AIDS, TB and malaria. PDPs bring together public and private partners to work towards a common goal of developing new and improved health technologies to address the world’s most neglected diseases. HLSP was contracted to review the grant mechanism to assess the effectiveness and efficiency of the use of the Dutch funds and their impact on each PDP.
