Opportunity Summary:
The "Systems for Health" opportunity is a USAID/Ghana request for applications to fund a five-year cooperative agreement aimed at strengthening health services and the underlying health system in Ghana. The program is structured to improve both access to care and the quality of care across several priority areas: family planning (FP), maternal, newborn and child health (MNCH), nutrition, and malaria prevention and treatment. In addition to direct service-area improvements, the opportunity emphasizes interventions that raise the management capacity and overall performance of health systems that enable and sustain those services, signaling a focus not only on delivering health interventions but also on fixing the systems that make them reliable and scalable over time.
This is a discretionary funding opportunity administered by USAID under the activity categories of health and food/nutrition. The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, which typically means USAID expects substantial involvement during implementation (for example, in technical direction, coordination, approvals, and adaptive management) compared with a traditional grant. The solicitation anticipates making one award, suggesting a single lead implementer (often with partners or subrecipients) will be responsible for delivering the full scope of work nationally or across multiple regions.
The total estimated funding is up to USD 68,000,000, and the award ceiling is also USD 68,000,000, with an award floor listed as USD 0 (often a standard entry indicating no minimum amount is guaranteed). Cost sharing or matching is required, meaning applicants must contribute a portion of project costs from non-federal sources as defined in the solicitation. The opportunity is listed under CFDA 98.001, "USAID Foreign Assistance for Programs Overseas," which is the standard federal assistance listing for many USAID overseas development programs.
Eligibility is described as "unrestricted," meaning the competition is open to a wide range of entity types, subject to any additional eligibility clarifications contained in the full announcement. Key timeline details include an original posted date of January 31, 2014, with the closing date extended from April 2, 2014 to April 7, 2014. The opportunity was archived on June 1, 2014, indicating the application window has closed and the notice is retained for record/reference purposes.
The funding opportunity number is RFA 641-14-00002, and the title is "Systems for Health." The issuing office is USAID/Ghana in Accra. For technical difficulties accessing the full announcement, the listed contact is Frederique Rakotoarivelo, reachable by phone at +233 302 741 272, with an email address referenced for amendments to the request for applications.
