USAID Strengthening Health Systems and Service Delivery through Local Capacity Building in Sub-Saharan Africa
USAID announces a new RFA to strengthen health systems and service delivery in Sub-Saharan Africa through local capacity building. The program aims to improve primary healthcare, maternal and child health, and infectious disease control by enhancing the technical and managerial capacities of local NGOs and government institutions. Key areas include health financing, monitoring and evaluation, data analytics, and leadership. The award will support a consortium to deliver tailored training and technical assistance over five years. This aligns with GSLI's course portfolio in Health in Complex Humanitarian Emergencies, Project Planning and Management, Data Analysis, and Leadership.
