    The United States Agency for International Development (USAID) has issued an Annual Program Statement (APS) for the Guinea Local Health System Strengthening (GLHSS) initiative, aimed at enhancing local health systems to improve healthcare quality for Guineans. The project, numbered 72067522APS00002, announces funding opportunities from February 16, 2022, to February 25, 2025, focusing on a multisectoral approach to address health accessibility, affordability, and quality. The initiative will engage local organizations, prioritize gender, youth sensitivity, and build partnerships to support local governance and health services. GLHSS targets three regions (Boké, Kindia, Labé) and five communes in Conakry, collaborating with the Ministry of Health and international stakeholders to create sustainable health outcomes. Through conducting concept papers followed by full applications in staggered “Rounds”, applicants will focus on various health challenges such as supply chain management and human resources for health. The program will primarily address critical issues like inefficient service delivery, inadequate training, and limited resources, while establishing health-enhancing social norms via community engagement and behavior change communication. Ultimately, GLHSS aspires to improve key health indicators by leveraging local capacities to foster ownership and efficacy within Guinea’s health framework. The framework emphasizes co-creation, encouraging the community's participation in monitoring and implementing health interventions.
