Grant Description

The United States Agency for International Development (USAID) is seeking applications for a Leader with Associates Cooperative Agreement from eligible U.S. for-profit, non-profit, or private voluntary organizations, or an Institution of Higher Education for a program titled, “Strengthening Health Outcomes through the Private Sector (SHOPS).” The authority for the RFA is found in the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961, as amended. USAID strongly encourages Applicants to develop consortiums with other responsible organizations (U.S. or Non-U.S. Organizations). With this RFA, USAID’s objective is to build upon its decades of support for and leadership in private health sector programming and its extensive work in expanding contraceptive choices and Family Planning (FP) and Reproductive Health (RH) programs. The purpose of the agreement is to increase the role of the private sector in the sustainable provision and use of quality FP/RH, HIV/AIDS and other health information, products, and services. Specifically, USAID is seeking assistance to: • Strengthen global support for state-of-the-art private sector FP/RH and other health models, approaches and tools; • Advance knowledge about and understanding of private sector provision of FP/RH and other health information, products and services; and • Strengthen key private health sector systems and initiate, implement and scale-up innovative, effective and sustainable private sector FP/RH and other health programs.
