Opportunity Summary:
The Health Strategic Information (SI) grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number APS656 12 000004) is a USAID/Mozambique competitive funding announcement focused on strengthening health data and monitoring capacity linked to PEPFAR programming in Mozambique. The activity is designed to build stronger Strategic Information systems so that HIV and related health programs can be managed using timely, accurate, and reliable data, with an emphasis on improving data quality and strengthening routine data use for decision making at both national and sub-national levels.
At its core, the opportunity aims to improve SI capacity across three main groups: (1) PEPFAR Mozambique-funded implementing partners, (2) local Mozambican community-based organizations (CBOs), and (3) selected ministries within the Government of Mozambique (GoRM). The intent is not only to support partners who already collect and report PEPFAR data, but also to help embed stronger SI practices within Mozambican institutions so that data systems and skills are sustained beyond individual projects. The description highlights strengthening PEPFAR Mozambique data systems specifically around data quality, because better data quality directly affects program oversight, resource allocation, performance monitoring, and the credibility of reported results.
A major second pillar of the opportunity is workforce development in monitoring and evaluation (M&E). The announcement calls for starting a structured process to train, build capacity for, and place a cadre of Mozambican M&E specialists within Mozambican government institutions as well as selected international and local implementing organizations. This implies a practical, placement-oriented approach rather than training alone, with the longer-term goal of creating a pipeline of national SI/M&E professionals who can operate and improve health information systems, conduct data quality assurance, and promote routine analysis and use of program data.
From an administrative and funding perspective, the mechanism is a discretionary Cooperative Agreement, meaning USAID expects substantial involvement during implementation (for example, technical direction, coordination, and joint planning). The opportunity anticipated up to 5 awards, with an estimated total funding amount of $3,200,000. Individual award sizes were expected to range from a floor of $100,000 to a ceiling of $300,000. Cost sharing or matching was required, so applicants would need to contribute resources in addition to USAID funding, consistent with the details in the full announcement.
Eligibility was listed as unrestricted (open to any type of entity), subject to any clarifications included in the official notice. The opportunity was posted on January 18, 2012, with an application closing date of June 18, 2012, and it was later archived on July 18, 2012. The issuing agency was USAID Mozambique in Maputo, and the activity falls under CFDA 98.001 (USAID Foreign Assistance for Programs Overseas). For applicants needing support accessing the full announcement, a local contact was provided: Albertina Cample, Acquisition Assistant, phone 285 21352187.
