Clarence H. Moore Award for Excellence in Voluntary Service
Nomination Form
Guidelines
Throughout the Americas, the role of civil society is growing. Partnerships between civil society, the public sector, business, and the international community can be effective mechanisms for social development. In the area of health, such partnerships are being viewed as important constructs for equity and sustainability.
The Clarence H. Moore Award for Excellence in Voluntary Service, created in 1989, is one of the awards presented by the Pan American Health and Education Foundation through its Awards for Excellence in Inter-American Public Health Program, a partnership between the Foundation and the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO).
To recognize the benefits that the voluntary/non-governmental sector contributes to the public health mission and to improving the lives of the peoples of the Americas, the Pan American Health and Education Foundation established the Clarence H. Moore Award. This award calls attention to the achievements of NGOs performing work in Latin America and/or the Caribbean to improve public health.
A distinguished jury of public health professionals reviews nominations and recommends a candidate to the board of trustees of PAHEF for final selection.
The award consists of a cash prize, a certificate of honor, and a symbolic representation of the award. One representative of the winning organization is invited to attend the annual meeting of the PAHO Directing Council and will be a guest of honor at PAHEF/PAHO’s awards program event in Washington, DC.
