UNIVERSAL HEALTH CARE PROJECT APS

The U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) Mission in the Philippines is seeking applicants for the Universal Health Care Project (UHCP) Annual Program Statement (APS). The UHCP aims to achieve improved health outcomes for underserved and vulnerable Filipinos through interventions focused on health systems strengthening, improving service delivery quality, and promoting positive social norms and behaviors. Key technical areas include tuberculosis, family planning, HIV/AIDS, and global health security. Eligible applicants will submit concept papers that will be evaluated based on technical approach, management plan, and institutional capability. The APS has multiple addenda with varying deadlines, including for health systems strengthening (October 13, 2023) and tuberculosis activities in Luzon (October 31, 2023) and Visayas/Mindanao (January 17, 2024).

USAID anticipates making 6-7 new cooperative agreement or grant awards under this APS, with individual award values ranging from $500,000 to $5,000,000 over one to five years. The UHCP activities will be implemented nationwide in the Philippines and funded through the USAID Foreign Assistance for Programs Overseas federal grant program (CFDA 98.001).
