Opportunity Information: Apply for 72066924RFA00002
The Advancing Community Health Activity (ACHA) is a USAID/Liberia funding opportunity designed to support implementation of Liberias Community Health Assistant (CHA) program in selected, targeted counties. The core aim is to expand and strengthen community-level delivery of an essential package of integrated, quality health services so that more people, especially those in underserved and hard-to-reach areas, can access care in a timely and equitable way. By reinforcing routine primary health services at the community level, the activity is intended to help reduce preventable illness and death (morbidity and mortality) and improve the overall sustainability of community health service delivery.
This opportunity is structured as a discretionary award using a Cooperative Agreement, which generally means the funder anticipates substantial involvement during implementation, such as active collaboration on technical direction, coordination, and monitoring. The activity is categorized under Health and is associated with CFDA number 98.001. USAID/Liberia (USAID-Monrovia) is the issuing agency, and the program is explicitly meant to align with, and operate in coordination with, Liberias national community health program rather than functioning as a stand-alone project. In practice, that emphasis on alignment typically implies close engagement with government systems, policies, standards, supervision structures, and national planning and reporting processes.
Eligibility is listed as unrestricted, meaning a broad range of applicants may be allowed to apply depending on the full solicitation requirements. USAID expects to make one award under this opportunity, with an award ceiling of USD 23,000,000. The opportunity was created on 2024-10-07 and has an original closing date of 2024-11-21. The funding opportunity number is 72066924RFA00002, and the title is Advancing Community Health Activity (ACHA).
At a high level, ACHA is about scaling and sustaining the frontline community health workforce model through Community Health Assistants in targeted counties, ensuring that services provided at the community level are integrated, consistent in quality, and connected to the wider national health system. The intended results center on improved access and continuity of essential community-based care, with a particular focus on equity, quality, and measurable reductions in preventable health burdens.Apply for 72066924RFA00002
