What it funds
Official synopsis as published by the agency, formatted for readability.
This is a Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) full package to solicit applications for one cooperative agreement from qualified entities to implement the Integrated Health Systems Strengthening (IHSS). Eligibility for this award is not restricted. The purpose of the Integrated Health System Strengthening (IHSS) program is to accelerate countries’ Health System Strengthening (HSS) efforts and achieve sustainable, equitable, and resilient health systems through locally-led, evidence-driven, and context-specific approaches to HSS. The primary goals are to advance primary health care (PHC), accelerate progress toward universal health coverage (UHC), and improve health outcomes. Investments in HSS help USAID reach its priority global health goals of preventing child and maternal deaths, controlling the HIV/AIDS epidemic, and combating infectious disease, which directly contributes to strengthening global health security. A strengthened and accessible health system is necessary to yield high-quality health services, which are essential for achieving sustainable improvements in health, promoting economic growth, and overall democratic development.
