Opportunity Information: Apply for 72066024RFI00005
USAID/DRC is collecting input through an information-gathering notice (Funding Opportunity Number 72066024RFI00005) to help shape a planned activity focused on strengthening health financing, governance, and health information systems in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. The work is intended to support the DRC national health strategic plan for 2021 to 2030 and the country s broader push toward universal health coverage, with an emphasis on practical reforms that improve how resources are raised, managed, and used, and how decisions are made and tracked across the health system.
At the core of the proposed Health Financing, Governance and Information Systems (HFG/IS) activity is the goal of boosting government capacity at the national level and in selected provinces to pull key policy and management levers that can increase resource mobilization and reduce the burden of catastrophic health spending on households. The activity is also designed to help authorities spot and address gaps in equity, quality, and coverage of health services, meaning it is not only about generating more money for health, but also about ensuring that services are delivered fairly, at acceptable standards, and to the populations that need them. A related priority is strengthening the ability of citizens to hold government accountable for health service delivery, which signals an approach that treats transparency, oversight, and public participation as essential parts of a functioning health system rather than side issues.
The opportunity highlights the interdependence of governance, financing, and information systems, and frames the activity as a targeted, integrated package that is meant to complement other USAID investments, specifically the USAID Integrated Health Services Delivery Accelerator and the USAID Sante Gouvernance Activities. In practice, this suggests the HFG/IS activity would focus on system rules and capacities (how decisions are made, financed, monitored, and corrected) while coordinating with service delivery programs so that improvements in policy and management translate into better services on the ground. USAID also points to the importance of a structured collaborative learning agenda, indicating that the activity is expected to generate evidence, share lessons across provinces, and support adoption of best practices with an eye toward national scale up.
A notable feature is the explicit inclusion of health security and resilience, with targeted systems strengthening to improve the public health system s capacity to prevent, detect, and respond to emerging infectious disease threats using a one health approach. That framing implies attention to coordination across human, animal, and environmental health considerations, and to the institutional capabilities needed for surveillance, preparedness, and rapid response. The opportunity also stresses gender and social inclusion, with an expectation that citizens, women, and marginalized groups will have a stronger role in the design, delivery, monitoring, and accountability of health services. USAID links this participation to increased trust in the health system and longer term sustainability, suggesting the activity will value not just technical fixes but also legitimacy and responsiveness.
Geographically, provincial level interventions are expected to focus on eight provinces: Kasai Central, Kasai Oriental, Haut Katanga, Haut Lomami, Lomani, Lualaba, Tanganyika, and Sud Kivu. USAID indicates that work in these provinces will be coordinated to create synergies, avoid duplication, and feed into a broader learning agenda that can inform improvements beyond the target areas. The listing also implies that these provinces align with the footprint of related USAID activities, reinforcing the intent to layer systems reforms alongside existing service delivery and governance support.
Administrative details provided in the notice include an unrestricted eligibility statement, an opportunity category and instrument type both labeled as Other, and CFDA number 98.001. The original closing date is listed as 2024 08 19, with an expectation of one award and an award ceiling shown as 1 (as presented in the source data). Overall, the notice reads as an early stage step to gather market and partner input before finalizing a full program design aimed at improving how the DRC health system is financed, governed, measured, and held accountable on the path to universal health coverage.Apply for 72066024RFI00005
