Eliminating Tuberculosis in Central Asia (ETICA)

The RFP for this solicitation has been posted..

The United States Agency for International Development (USAID), Regional Mission to Central Asia (USAID/CA), intends to issue a Request for Proposal (RFP) for an activity entitled "Expanding Tuberculosis Identification, Treatment, and Prevention in Central Asia (TB-CA)". USAID anticipates awarding a single, five-year cost-plus-fixed-fee contract with a total estimated cost of approximately $30-$34 million. USAID intends to use full and open competition for this procurement.

The purpose of the Expanding Tuberculosis Identification, Treatment, and Prevention in Central Asia (TB-CA) is to reduce the burden of TB in Central Asia by building local and regional capacity for improving the detection and treatment of drug-resistant tuberculosis (DR-TB). USAID seeks to invest in services that will lead to measurable and sustainable improvements in the ability of the health systems in Central Asia to deliver quality DR-TB services by building the leadership, management, financing, and technical capacity of Central Asian institutions, communities, and civil society. The end result will be increased access to quality DR-TB diagnosis and appropriate treatment, improved TB and DR-TB treatment success, and an enhanced enabling environment promoting financially sustainable DR-TB services that meet international standards. Interventions will target both facility- and community-level DR-TB services.

TB-CA will operate as one overarching regional activity with distinct interventions/activities taking place in each country of Central Asia (Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, Turkmenistan, and the Kyrgyz Republic) based on local context and needs.
