Opportunity Information: Apply for RFA 617 17 000002
The USAID opportunity titled "Expanding and Strengthening Family Planning Service Options in Uganda" (Funding Opportunity Number RFA 617 17 000002) is a discretionary health-sector grant to support Uganda in expanding access to modern family planning services and improving the quality of those services across the country. Structured as a Cooperative Agreement, the award mechanism signals that USAID expects to remain actively engaged during implementation, working closely with the recipient to shape strategy, monitor progress, and align activities with national priorities and USAID objectives. The opportunity was issued by USAID/Uganda in Kampala, with an original application closing date of February 28, 2017, and it carried an award ceiling of up to $35,000,000.
At its core, the program is designed to increase the availability and accessibility of equitable, quality family planning (FP) services. The emphasis on equity points to intentional efforts to reach populations that often face barriers to care, such as adolescents and youth, rural communities, low-income clients, and other underserved groups. The activity is described as USAID/Uganda's flagship mechanism for family planning assistance, meaning it is intended to be the primary, large-scale vehicle for helping Uganda achieve its national family planning goals. Those goals are framed in practical public health terms: reducing unmet need for family planning and increasing the use of modern contraception. In effect, the grant focuses on closing the gap between people who want to delay or avoid pregnancy and those who are currently unable to access or use effective contraceptive methods.
The implementation approach highlighted in the description has three major thrusts. First, it aims to broaden family planning service options, which typically means ensuring a wider method mix is available so clients can choose what best fits their needs and circumstances. Second, it prioritizes improving the quality of family planning services in both the public and private sectors, implying work with government health facilities as well as private clinics, pharmacies, and other non-state providers. Quality improvement in this context often includes strengthening provider skills, improving counseling and informed choice, supporting supervision and mentorship systems, and addressing service delivery gaps that affect client experience and continuation of use. Third, the program explicitly includes building demand for modern contraception, which points toward community engagement, behavior change communication, and other demand-generation strategies that can increase awareness, correct misinformation, and reduce stigma or social barriers that prevent people from seeking family planning services.
Eligibility for applicants is listed as unrestricted, indicating the competition was open to a broad range of organizations that could meet USAID requirements, potentially including international and local non-governmental organizations, implementing partners, and other capable entities. The opportunity is tied to CFDA number 98.001, the standard listing for USAID foreign assistance programs. Overall, the grant is positioned as a comprehensive national-level effort: expanding what services are available, improving how those services are delivered, and increasing community uptake, all in support of Uganda's stated family planning objectives.Apply for RFA 617 17 000002
