Opportunity Summary:
The USAID/Mozambique grant opportunity titled "Healthcare Management and Administration (HMA) Education Twinning in Mozambique" is designed to strengthen Mozambique's National Health System by improving the quality and availability of trained health managers. The central idea is that better management at both the strategic level (policy, planning, oversight) and the operational level (facility and program implementation) is essential for a health system to perform well. USAID is seeking to support a structured "twinning" arrangement between Mozambique's Instituto Superior de Ciencias de Saude (ISCISA) and a foreign university or other qualified organization that would serve as the twinning partner. Through that partnership, the project is meant to upgrade health management education in Mozambique, directly tackle known gaps in health care management capacity, and ultimately help produce a stronger pipeline of competent health management professionals.
This funding is offered by USAID/Mozambique (USAID Maputo) as a Cooperative Agreement, which typically means USAID expects to be more actively engaged in the implementation than it would be under a standard grant. The opportunity is categorized under Health and is listed as a continuation opportunity. USAID anticipates making one award under this solicitation, meaning the intent is to fund a single lead applicant that will coordinate the twinning partnership and deliver the proposed activities in close collaboration with ISCISA and USAID. The overall emphasis is not only on training individuals, but on building or improving an institutional education platform inside Mozambique so the gains can last beyond the award period.
Financially, the opportunity lists an estimated total funding amount of $2,200,000, with an award ceiling of $2,000,000 and an award floor of $1,000,000. This signals that proposed budgets are expected to fall within that range, and that USAID is prepared to make an award that is substantial enough to support meaningful institutional collaboration and academic strengthening. The solicitation also requires cost sharing or matching, so applicants are expected to contribute resources alongside USAID funds, whether in cash or allowable in-kind support, as specified in the full announcement.
Eligibility is described as unrestricted, meaning the competition is open to any type of entity as long as it meets any additional conditions explained in the full notice. This openness is consistent with the goal of identifying a capable twinning partner, which could be a university, research institute, nonprofit, or another organization with demonstrated expertise in health management education, curriculum development, faculty development, and/or health system leadership training. In practice, the strongest applicants would be those that can show they have the technical depth to strengthen academic programs and the operational experience to work effectively in partnership with a Mozambican institution and within USAID's program environment.
The posting date for the opportunity was January 7, 2013, with an original and current closing date of February 22, 2013, and an archive date of March 24, 2013. The CFDA (now commonly referred to as Assistance Listing) number attached is 98.001, which corresponds to USAID Foreign Assistance for Programs Overseas. For applicants who could not access the full announcement electronically at the time, the notice provides a point of contact: Marianne Pinto Teixeira, Acquisition Specialist, with a listed phone number (285 21352189).
