Opportunity Summary:
USAID's Health Project in Timor-Leste is a discretionary funding opportunity released by the USAID Timor-Leste Mission to support national development goals focused on strengthening institutions and building human capacity in order to improve the lives of Timor-Leste's citizens. The award is intended to align with USAID's Country Development Cooperation Strategy (CDCS), specifically contributing to Intermediate Result 2, which centers on increased capacity to deliver responsive public services at both national and sub-national levels, and more specifically to Sub-Intermediate Result 2.1, which emphasizes improved implementation of Government of Timor-Leste policies and programs for delivering key public services. In practical terms, this opportunity is designed to help the health system function more effectively by improving how government health priorities are carried out and how services reach communities.
The program is categorized under health and will be implemented through a cooperative agreement, meaning USAID expects to remain substantially involved in the project during implementation rather than simply providing a grant with minimal engagement. The core technical focus is maternal and newborn health, with an emphasis on strengthening the capacity of the Ministry of Health to ensure health personnel can deliver higher-quality services. The Ministry of Health (MOH) and the Institute of Health Sciences (INS) in Timor-Leste are identified as the main local partners, signaling that the work will likely include workforce development, training systems, and institutional strengthening components that connect pre-service and in-service health education to real service delivery needs.
Eligibility is broadly open ("unrestricted") to U.S. and non-U.S. organizations, including non-profit and for-profit nongovernmental organizations and other non-U.S. government entities, subject to any further clarifications that may appear in the full announcement. The opportunity includes a cost-sharing or matching requirement, indicating applicants should be prepared to contribute resources (financial or allowable in-kind support, depending on the terms) alongside USAID funding. The legal authority cited for the funding is the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961, as amended, which is a common statutory basis for USAID overseas assistance programs.
In terms of funding, USAID anticipated making one award, with an estimated total funding amount of $8.5 million. The ceiling is also $8.5 million, while the floor is listed as 1 (as provided in the source data). The opportunity was posted on May 8, 2015, created June 12, 2015, and the closing date was ultimately set to July 15, 2015 (after an original closing date of June 10, 2015). It was scheduled to be archived on September 15, 2015. The Funding Opportunity Number is USAID TIMOR RFA 472 15 000001, and the CFDA number listed is 98.001 (USAID Foreign Assistance for Programs Overseas). The issuing agency information references USAID Bangkok (Thailand), reflecting regional administrative support for the Timor-Leste Mission. For access issues or questions about the announcement, the listed point of contact was Suthicha Chussananalin, Acquisition Specialist, reachable by phone at 6622573000 or by email at schussananalin@usaid.gov.
