Opportunity Information: Apply for RFA 521 17 000008
USAID/Haiti issued the Strategic Health Information System (HIS) Program funding opportunity (RFA 521 17 000008) to support a five-year effort aimed at strengthening and sustaining Haitis national health information system, known as the System dInformation Sanitaire Nationale Unique (SISNU). The core intent is continuity: ensuring the Government of Haiti can keep implementing and managing SISNU as an integrated, nationwide health management information system that collects and tracks multiple health indicators from health institutions across the country. In practical terms, the program is meant to reinforce the systems, processes, and capacity needed to keep health data flowing reliably from facilities to national decision-makers, so the information can be used to monitor services, identify gaps, and guide public health planning and resource allocation.
The award is structured as a discretionary cooperative agreement, which generally means USAID expects a high level of engagement during implementation, including collaboration on technical direction and coordination with government stakeholders. The opportunity sits under the Health funding activity category (CFDA 98.001) and is administered by USAID Port-au-Prince. USAID anticipated making one award, with an award ceiling of $12,000,000 for the full five-year period, signaling a single, relatively large implementing mechanism rather than multiple smaller grants.
A central feature of the solicitation is that it lays out concrete program objectives but still gives applicants room to design the technical approach. Applicants are expected to propose interventions that are high-impact, cost-effective, and market-based where appropriate. USAID explicitly asks for results-oriented proposals that are logical and comprehensive, with interventions that are concrete and measurable. That emphasis suggests USAID is looking for an application that clearly connects activities to outcomes, includes a credible monitoring approach, and demonstrates how proposed investments will translate into stronger SISNU performance and improved health sector decision-making.
Eligibility is listed as unrestricted, meaning the competition is open to any type of entity, subject to any additional eligibility details that may be provided in the full announcement. The opportunity was created on March 3, 2017, and originally closed on April 7, 2017. Overall, the solicitation describes a national-level health systems strengthening effort focused on making Haitis SISNU more sustainable and operationally effective, while encouraging implementers to propose practical, measurable solutions that can be delivered efficiently over a five-year timeline.Apply for RFA 521 17 000008
