Opportunity Information: Apply for 72061719RFA00001
The USAID/Uganda Maternal Child Health and Nutrition (MCHN) Activity is a cooperative agreement opportunity designed to strengthen how the Government of Uganda plans, manages, and implements priority strategies that improve maternal, child health, and nutrition outcomes. The central aim is better government performance in putting proven policies and approaches into practice, with success tracked through the percentage of U.S. Government supported districts that report improved MCHN outcomes. The activity is intended to be carried out in close coordination with other USAID-supported implementing partners working at subnational levels, so national policy and guidance translate into consistent improvements where services are actually delivered.
The program is structured around two main results. The first is improved MCHN service delivery, focused on helping the Government of Uganda effectively cascade national-level policies, guidelines, standards, and implementation approaches (collectively described as "strategies") down to regional and district levels. This includes strengthening national government capacity to develop high-quality strategies and to roll them out in a way that is practical, standardized, and scalable. It also includes supporting complementary USAID/Uganda efforts that help subnational governments adopt and expand these national strategies across selected regions, specifically Eastern, East Central, Southwestern, and the Northern regions of Acholi and Lango. A distinct emphasis is placed on Kampala, where the activity aims to strengthen national-to-subnational coordination and local capacity for better MCHN services, positioning the capital as a model for urban health service delivery that can inform broader national efforts.
The second result is increased capacity for MCHN good governance. This part of the activity targets the leadership, coordination, and accountability systems that make service delivery improvements sustainable over time. It emphasizes stronger multi-sectoral collaboration (recognizing that nutrition and maternal/child health outcomes depend on more than the health sector alone), greater use of data and evidence in planning and decision-making, and improved governance practices that support effective implementation. In practical terms, this result is meant to reinforce the enabling environment needed to achieve and maintain the service delivery gains pursued under the first result, ensuring improvements are not one-off successes but part of a stronger, better-managed system.
From an opportunity standpoint, the funding is issued by USAID/Uganda (USAID-Kampala) under Funding Opportunity Number 72061719RFA00001.
