Guinea Local Health System Strengthening (GLHSS)

The U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) Mission in Guinea is pleased to issue this APS for the implementation of an activity designed to strengthen local health systems in targeted geographic areas so that Guineans can access a higher quality of health care in their communities and local public health facilities. USAID/Guinea’s health office proposes the design of a new health sector activity entitled: Guinea Local Health System Strengthening (GLHSS). Its design involved USAID/Guinea, USAID/Washington, the Ministry of Health (MOH) and stakeholders working in the health sector. This co-engagement process will continue during the five-year implementation phase and will identify health topics on which additional information is needed.

This APS document outlines the goal, purpose, expected results, and priorities of the Guinea Local Health System Strengthening (GLHSS), and may result in multiple awards issued under subsequent APS Rounds. GLHSS in this document is an umbrella APS and will not solicit concept papers or applications. Prospective applicants will be provided a fair opportunity to develop and submit competitive concept papers to USAID for potential funding via Rounds under this APS.
