Opportunity Summary:

The Integrated Family Planning Program (IFPP) is a USAID/Mozambique funding opportunity designed to rapidly expand access to modern contraceptive methods and improve the quality of family planning and reproductive health (FP/RH) services. The core idea is integration: applicants are expected to propose practical approaches that embed family planning services into existing clinical and community platforms, or create strong linkages between family planning and other established programs. In particular, USAID highlights integration with maternal and child health (MCH) services and HIV/AIDS programs, while also encouraging connections with other health and even non-health programs and organizations. The intent is to use these platforms to achieve the widest possible service coverage as quickly and effectively as possible, rather than building a parallel, standalone family planning system.

USAID anticipates supporting one award under this announcement, and the chosen mechanism is a cooperative agreement, which typically means substantial involvement by the funding agency during implementation (for example, closer coordination on plans, performance monitoring, technical approaches, and adaptation during rollout). The opportunity falls under the health funding activity category and is structured to support a large-scale effort, with an estimated total funding amount of USD 35,000,000 and an award ceiling of USD 35,000,000. The program includes a cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning the applicant should be prepared to contribute resources (cash and/or in-kind, depending on the terms in the full announcement) as part of the overall project financing and implementation plan.

Eligibility is listed as unrestricted, indicating that USAID is open to applications from a broad range of entity types, although applicants would still need to comply with any specific eligibility clarifications contained in the full solicitation text. The opportunity is administered by USAID in Maputo, Mozambique, and would be aimed at operational solutions suitable for the Mozambican context, including service delivery realities across clinical facilities and community-based settings. Competitive applications would therefore be expected to show not only technical competence in FP/RH programming, but also credible strategies for partnering, coordination, and implementation through existing systems and organizations that already reach priority populations.

Key timing details include an original closing date of July 20, 2015, with an extension of the deadline to August 10, 2015 at 10:00 a.m. local Maputo time. The funding opportunity number is RFA 656 15 000009, and the announcement was posted on June 15, 2015 (with a creation date of July 16, 2015). The archive date is September 14, 2015, indicating the period after which the announcement would no longer be active on the posting platform. For issues accessing the full announcement, the listed point of contact is Antonieta Manhia, Acquisition and Assistance Specialist at USAID/Mozambique.
