Application
To help increase awareness and understanding of the challenges being tackled, our Employee Participation Program (EPP) enables employees to experience the transformational impact of the company's contributions first-hand. Experience and knowledge gained from the learning trips provide a better understanding of the work and impact of the projects supported by Takeda and Takeda employees often become internal ambassadors for global health and development. Learn about a 2020 learning trip to Myanmar here.
Applicants should factor in funding for a learning trip on top of other project costs to cover on-the-ground, in-country expenses (guidance on funding and line items to consider and exclude can be found in the RFP document). Typically, Takeda’s employees visit a project site at least once over the course of the project period. When an in-person learning trip is not possible, we will work with partners on alternative options such as a virtual learning trip, webinar, etc. See RFP document for additional information.
No. Unless stated otherwise in the annual RFP, we do not restrict our contributions to specific intervention or disease areas, countries, populations groups, or geographies apart from ensuring that they do not present a conflict of interest with Takeda’s business activities or violate any recognized international restrictions such as the United Nations Security Council sanctions, etc. Each RFP features a program theme and specific proposal tracks, so please refer to the open RFP document for more information. We encourage projects that seek to support low-resource settings and marginalized/underserved populations in creative ways based on local needs and with local engagement.
We are open to projects in conflict-affected settings, as long as the applicant organization can clearly demonstrate their ability to consistently implement activities and measure impact while navigating local contexts securely and responsibly. Projects must adhere to international human rights and humanitarian principles with heightened due diligence measures in settings experiencing conflict, taking special care to follow recognized local and international laws, standards and restrictions, such as the United Nations Security Council sanctions.
