Opportunity Summary:
The Integrated Health Project (IHP) is a USAID-funded opportunity focused on improving basic health conditions for people in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), specifically within selected health zones. The grant is designed to align with broader U.S. Government goals under the Country Assistance Strategy and the Global Health Initiative (GHI), while also directly supporting the Government of the DRCs own health-sector priorities. In particular, the program is framed to reinforce the DRC Health Systems Strengthening Strategy (SRSS, originally issued in 2006 and revised in March 2010) and the 2011-2015 National Health Development Plan (PNDS 11-15, dated March 2010). In practical terms, the opportunity is meant to finance a large, integrated effort that strengthens both service delivery and the underlying systems that make those services reliable over time.
The project is structured around two major components. The first is the services component, which concentrates on increasing the use and adoption of high-impact health services, products, and practices in the targeted zones. This includes family planning and the full range of maternal, newborn, and child health (FP/MNCH) interventions, along with nutrition programming. It also covers prevention and treatment efforts for major communicable diseases, including malaria and tuberculosis, plus work on neglected tropical diseases (NTDs). HIV/AIDS is included but described as limited interventions, indicating that HIV activities are likely narrower in scope or more targeted than other technical areas. The services component also incorporates water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH), recognizing that WASH is tightly linked to disease prevention, child health outcomes, and the effectiveness of community-level health improvements. Overall, this component emphasizes measurable increases in utilization and uptake, suggesting the expectation of expanded coverage, improved quality, and stronger community engagement around proven interventions.
The second component is the other health systems component, which focuses on strengthening how the health sector functions beyond direct service provision. It prioritizes improved implementation of selected policies, stronger program advocacy, and better decision-making, with a particular emphasis on provincial levels. This signals attention to governance and management challenges that can undermine health outcomes even when clinical services exist, such as weak planning, limited use of data, inconsistent policy rollout, or fragmented coordination across actors. By targeting provincial decision-making and advocacy, the project appears intended to help health authorities and partners translate national strategies into operational improvements, strengthen accountability, and improve how resources and programs are prioritized and managed.
From a funding and administrative standpoint, this opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number RFA-OAA-10-000006) was offered as a discretionary cooperative agreement under CFDA 98.001 (USAID Foreign Assistance for Programs Overseas). The award ceiling and floor are both listed as $142,000,000, which typically indicates a single large award at that amount rather than multiple smaller awards. There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement stated. The opportunity was posted and created on May 7, 2010, with an original and current closing date of June 21, 2010, and an archive date of July 21, 2010.
Eligibility is broad within the development and humanitarian implementing community. U.S.-based and international non-governmental organizations and private voluntary organizations, as well as in-country NGOs, are eligible to apply (with the note that additional eligibility clarifications are contained in the full announcement). USAID is the issuing agency, and a point of contact is provided for access issues: Mark Thompson, Contract Specialist, at 202-712-5593.
