Deadline: 24-Apr-22
The United States Agency for International Development’s (USAID) Mission in Egypt (USAID/Egypt) is seeking applications for a Cooperative Agreement from qualified entities to implement the OSRA Activity.
The title of the activity is “OSRA,” meaning “Family” in Arabic. The purpose of the OSRA activity is to improve family health outcomes by reinforcing the national family planning and reproductive health (FP/RH) program in partnership with the Ministry of Health and Population (MOHP).
The OSRA activity will achieve this purpose through the three pivotal results:
- Women’s and men’s uptake and continuation of voluntary family planning services increased;
- Youth equipped with knowledge and skills necessary to make healthy life choices; and
- Gender dynamics improved for enhanced voluntary family planning and reproductive health outcomes
The OSRA activity will closely collaborate with the MOHP and potentially with the Supreme Council of University Hospitals (SCUH), the Ministry of Social Solidarity (MOSS), the National Population Council (NPC), and other Government of Egypt (GOE) entities and stakeholders to attain its results.
Activities
The OSRA activity’s theory of change is that:
- if women and men have access to quality family planning information and counseling, updated contraceptive methods, and efficient services, delivered by knowledgeable and competent health care providers; and
- if young people are enabled to apply their newly acquired knowledge, skills, and confidence to mature into healthy young adults; and
- if women, men and couples are empowered to use their competency for power-balanced family relationships and are supported by their households, communities, and peers to make healthy, gender equitable FP/RH choices;
- then health outcomes will be improved among Egyptian families to live prosperous lives.
Funding Information
Subject to funding availability and at the discretion of USAID/Egypt, USAID/Egypt expects to provide up to $39 million in total USAID funding over a five-year period.
Eligibility Criteria
Eligibility for this NOFO is not restricted. USAID/Egypt welcomes applications from organizations that have not previously received financial assistance from USAID.
