Opportunity Summary:
The Health Services Improvement (HSI) Program Component was a USAID/Senegal funding opportunity designed to strengthen frontline health service delivery in Senegal, specifically targeting health posts and health centers. The main program idea was to improve the quality and coordination of care for two priority groups: women and children under five. A defining feature of the opportunity was its emphasis on building strong, functional linkages across the health system so that care would not be fragmented. In practice, this meant connecting community-based services (where many families first seek guidance and support) with facility-based services at health posts and health centers, and ensuring clear referral and support pathways to regional hospitals. The goal was a well-coordinated continuum of care, so clients could move smoothly between prevention, routine care, and higher-level services when complications or specialized needs arise.
This opportunity was issued by USAID in Dakar, Senegal under the funding opportunity number USAID SENEGAL RFA 685 11 A 13 and carried the title "Health Services Improvement (HSI) Program Component." It fell under the discretionary funding category and planned to use a cooperative agreement as the funding instrument, which typically indicates that the funder expects substantial involvement during implementation (for example, collaboration on work planning, monitoring, and technical direction). The activity category was health, and it was associated with CFDA number 98.001, which covers USAID foreign assistance for overseas programs.
USAID anticipated making one award under this announcement, with an award ceiling of USD 32,000,000. The opportunity included a cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning the selected applicant would be expected to contribute resources toward the project in addition to the federal funding (the specific percentage or structure would normally be detailed in the full announcement). Eligibility was listed as unrestricted, effectively open to any type of entity, though applicants were advised that additional eligibility clarifications could appear in the full text of the announcement.
The timeline shows the opportunity was posted on February 7, 2011, with an original and final closing date of April 5, 2011. The record indicates an archive date of May 5, 2011, meaning it was no longer active after that point. For applicants or interested parties who had trouble accessing the full announcement electronically, the listed point of contact was Salamata Ly, an Acquisition and Assistance Specialist at USAID/Senegal, reachable by phone at (221) 338696100.
