About the Programme

The ASEAN-UK Health Security Partnership (HSP) is a five-year programme launched in 2025 to strengthen ASEAN Member States’ ability to prevent, detect, and respond to health threats and improve equitable access to primary healthcare. Jointly developed by ASEAN and the United Kingdom, HSP is designed to be adaptive, collaborative, and regionally driven, supporting both immediate and long-term health security needs across ASEAN Member States.

Through technical assistance, demand-led grants, and regional coordination, the programme aims to build more resilient health systems, improve pandemic preparedness, and tackle urgent challenges like access to Universal Health Coverage, health impacts from climate change, disease prevention and control, and antimicrobial resistance (AMR).

The HSP Programme is implemented by:

FHI 360 UK is the consortium lead and the management agent of the HSP Programme. FHI 360 UK supports the full range of services, particularly in global health security and economic resilience, and delivers effective and sustainable governance solutions in some of the most challenging environments around the world. 

The Pandemic Institute is a partnership organisation uniting academic, civic, healthcare and industry expertise. Across the partnership, it delivers world-leading research, knowledge exchange and capacity-building, grounded in internationally recognised leadership on emerging and zoonotic infections.
Itad is a core HSP implementation partner leading the programme’s monitoring, evaluation, and learning work. It supports rigorous performance tracking, evidence generation, and adaptive management, helping ensure HSP activities remain effective, responsive, and aligned with ASEAN and UK priorities.

What We Do

The ASEAN-UK Health Security Partnership (HSP) Programme is improving health security and increasing equitable access to primary care across 11 ASEAN Member States, aligned with ASEAN and national priorities. The programme is implemented in close coordination with ASEAN’s regional health sector and national institutions. HSP provides:

  • Pillar 1 HSP Grants Facility: Catalytic investments to support the implementation of national and regional action plan through multi-country grants, country grants, and direct awards

  • Pillar 2 HSP Peer Exchange Platform: A flexible platform to support structured knowledge exchange, technology transfer, One Health collaboration, dissemination of best practices, and cross-border collaboration through short-term awards (ASEAN Member States to Global South peers, ASEAN Member States to ASEAN Member States, and ASEAN Member States to UK government agencies, academic institutions, and other actors).

  • Pillar 3 One Health Partnership with Quadripartite: Through collaboration with World Health Organization, World Organisation for Animal Health, Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nation, and UN Environment Programme.

We also provide Technical Assistance Hub on design and implementation support to selected applicants and grantees from Initiative for ASEAN Integration countries.

The HSP programme uses the following mechanisms of change to guide our HSP-funded projects to create the outputs and contribute to the outcomes we hope to achieve.

  • Policy dialogue and governance that could be through policy or roadmap development and cross-sector committees
  • Systems and infrastructure strengthening including improved surveillance, strengthened laboratory capacity or implementation of digital platforms
  • Workforce and institutional capacity via training, curriculum design, mentoring, or peer exchange
  • Multisectoral partnership by fostering joint action between health, environment, agriculture, and private sector
  • Evidence generation and data through assessments, implementation research policy briefs, and data harmonization
