Opportunity Summary:
USAID/GHANA PEOPLE FOR HEALTH (Funding Opportunity Number RFA 641 15 000009) is a USAID Accra health-sector funding opportunity designed to strengthen public demand and citizen-led advocacy for better health services in Ghana. The program is centered on increasing the ability of citizens and communities to speak up, organize, and hold decision-makers and service providers accountable so that access to, and quality of, essential health services improves. In practical terms, the opportunity focuses on making sure community voices are not only heard, but are influential in shaping how health services are delivered, monitored, and improved.
The technical scope of the program covers several major priority areas. It includes family planning services, maternal, newborn, and child health, nutrition, HIV/AIDS services with attention to key populations, and malaria prevention and treatment. Alongside these service delivery areas, the opportunity explicitly emphasizes interventions that strengthen the management and performance of the broader health system that supports them. That means the grant is not just about individual health campaigns; it also supports efforts that improve how the system functions, such as governance, transparency, responsiveness, and the ability of health facilities and local authorities to meet community needs.
This opportunity was offered as an earmark and will be implemented through a Cooperative Agreement, indicating an assistance relationship where USAID expects substantial involvement during implementation (for example, collaboration on work planning, monitoring, and technical direction). USAID anticipated making one award under this announcement, with an estimated total funding amount of $3,710,000. The award ceiling and floor are both listed at $3,710,000, which signals that the single award was expected to be made at that specific funding level rather than across a range of possible amounts. Cost sharing or matching is required, meaning the recipient would need to contribute resources toward the program in addition to USAID funds, consistent with the terms described in the full announcement.
Eligibility is limited to local Ghanaian organizations only, with the listing noting that additional details appear in the full announcement under the eligibility clarification field. This restriction reflects an emphasis on local ownership and leadership, aligning the program with building Ghanaian civil society and community-based capacity to advocate for and champion improved health outcomes.
Key administrative details show the opportunity was posted on August 11, 2015, with the application closing date set for September 8, 2015, and an archive date of October 7, 2015. The funding activity category is Health, and the issuing agency is USAID/Ghana based in Accra. For support accessing the full announcement, the contact provided is Harriet Luwemba, Senior Acquisition and Assistance Specialist, reachable by phone at +233 302 741200 or by email at accracontract@usaid.gov.
