Opportunity Summary:
USAID Tanzania is soliciting applications under the opportunity titled "Management of Severe Febrile Illness" to support Tanzania in reducing illness and deaths among children under five, particularly those driven by malaria and other major causes of severe fever. The core purpose is to improve child health outcomes by strengthening the Ministry of Health and Social Welfare's capacity to deliver essential diagnostic and treatment services for severe febrile illness, with a strong emphasis on better frontline clinical management and more reliable access to fundamental services that can prevent avoidable child deaths.
The proposed program is designed to operate in three regions of Tanzania's Lake Zone, an area highlighted for having some of the highest malaria burdens and child mortality rates in the country. While the initial geographic footprint is limited to these priority regions, USAID notes that expansion to additional areas may be possible later, depending on project performance and the availability of funds. The results are expected to feed directly into broader under-five mortality reduction goals aligned with the President's Malaria Initiative (PMI) as well as complementary USAID child health programming, indicating that this award is intended to fit into an existing national and donor-supported health strategy rather than function as a standalone effort.
A key feature of the opportunity is the explicit focus on strengthening linkages between facility-based care and community-based child health promotion programs. That includes collaboration with community platforms that support orphans and vulnerable children (OVC), reflecting an intent to make clinical improvements more effective by connecting them to prevention, early care-seeking, referrals, and follow-up at the community level. In practice, this kind of linkage typically aims to ensure that children with severe fever are identified earlier, reach appropriate services faster, and receive consistent messaging and support that improves adherence and outcomes.
Funding is offered through a cooperative agreement, which generally means USAID expects substantial involvement in shaping and overseeing implementation compared to a standard grant. The opportunity is categorized under health assistance, with an estimated total funding amount of $24,000,000. USAID anticipates making a single award, and the award ceiling and floor are both listed as $24,000,000, suggesting the agency intends to fund one project at that full amount rather than multiple smaller awards. Cost sharing or matching is required, so applicants are expected to contribute a defined portion of resources, whether through cash, allowable in-kind support, or other forms specified in the full announcement.
Eligibility is broadly open ("unrestricted") to organizational applicants, including both for-profit and non-profit entities, while excluding individuals and government agencies. The opportunity is administered by USAID in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, and is associated with CFDA 98.001 (USAID Foreign Assistance for Programs Overseas). The original posting date was May 28, 2010, with a closing date that was extended to July 27, 2010, and the notice was later archived on August 26, 2010. For issues accessing the full announcement, the listed point of contact is Samuel Kiranga, Acquisition and Assistance Specialist, reachable by phone at 2668503.
