Opportunity Summary:
The Community Health (CH) Program Component is a USAID/Senegal discretionary funding opportunity designed to strengthen community-level health services across Senegal, both in urban and rural settings. The core intent is to improve access to, and the quality of, community health services and health information so that people are better able to make informed decisions and actively seek and use appropriate health care options close to where they live. A major emphasis is on making community health delivery more effective and more connected, so that community-based providers are not operating in isolation but are integrated into broader health service pathways.
A central expected result of the program is the creation and long-term sustainability of technical linkages and referral networks that connect community-based health service providers with each other and with the formal Government of Senegal (GOS) health system. In practice, this means supporting functional referral relationships so clients can move smoothly from community-level support to higher levels of care when needed, and ensuring that community structures have clearer, stronger working ties with public-sector facilities, supervision systems, and standards. The opportunity is framed around improving the relationship between community health structures and the formal health system, which typically involves coordination, shared protocols, training and supervision linkages, information flow, and consistent referral and counter-referral processes.
The award is structured as a Cooperative Agreement, which generally indicates that USAID expects substantial involvement during implementation, such as collaboration on planning, monitoring, and technical approaches. USAID anticipated making one award under this program component, with an award ceiling of $40,000,000. Cost sharing or matching is required, meaning the selected implementer would need to contribute resources alongside USAID funding, according to the terms described in the full announcement.
Basic administrative details include the funding opportunity number USAID SENEGAL RFA 685 11 A 14, categorized under Health, with CFDA number 98.001 (USAID Foreign Assistance for Programs Overseas). The opportunity was posted on February 7, 2011, with an original and current closing date of April 5, 2011, and an archive date of May 5, 2011. Eligibility was listed as unrestricted, meaning it was open to a wide range of applicant types, subject to any additional eligibility clarifications contained in the full solicitation text.
For applicants or parties needing assistance accessing the full announcement, the listed point of contact was Salamata Ly, Acquisition and Assistance Specialist at USAID Dakar, reachable by phone at (221) 33 869 61 00.
