Opportunity Summary:
The "Zambia Midterm Evaluation Reports" opportunity is a USAID/Zambia information notice intended to support organizations preparing to compete for upcoming USAID health awards in Zambia. Rather than requesting applications or proposing a new project, this posting serves mainly as a public release and pointer to key program documentation: the midterm evaluation reports for several ongoing or recently implemented USAID-funded health activities. These evaluations are made available so that potential bidders can better understand what has been implemented to date, what results have been achieved, what challenges were encountered, and what lessons learned USAID considers important for future programming.
USAID/Zambia indicates that midterm evaluation reports for four specific awards can be accessed through the USAID/Zambia website under the "newsroom/key documents" section (the listing provides a link to http://www.usaid.gov/zambia/newsroom/key documents). The four activities covered by the released evaluations are: Communications Support for Health (CSH), Partnership for Integrated Social Marketing (PRISM), Zambia Integrated Systems Strengthening Program (ZISSP), and Zambia Prevention, Care and Treatment Partnership Project II (ZPCT II). While the notice itself does not summarize the findings of each evaluation, the intent is that these reports provide detailed performance and implementation insights that can inform the design of new proposals, improve alignment with USAID expectations, and help applicants avoid repeating known implementation issues.
From an administrative standpoint, the posting is categorized under Health and uses "Other" as the opportunity category, with "Cooperative Agreement" listed as the funding instrument type. It also explicitly states there is no cost sharing or matching requirement. Eligibility is described as unrestricted (open to any type of entity), subject to any clarifications that might appear in the full text under eligibility information. Key dates listed include a posted date and creation date of March 4, 2014, an original and current closing date of September 4, 2014, and an archive date of September 5, 2014. The agency is USAID/Zambia in Lusaka.
The practical takeaway for interested organizations is that USAID is signaling that these midterm evaluation reports should be treated as important background materials when developing bids for future health-related opportunities in Zambia. Applicants can use the evaluations to understand USAID's assessment of program performance across communications, social marketing, systems strengthening, and HIV prevention/care/treatment programming, and to shape technical approaches, monitoring and evaluation plans, risk mitigation strategies, and coordination models in line with documented evidence from these prior awards.
For access or technical issues retrieving the materials electronically, the notice provides a point of contact: John Loongo, Acquisition and Assistance Specialist at USAID, reachable by phone at 260211357000.
