It provides clarifications regarding the project scope and past performance requirements for applicants. The project will target malaria control efforts across 17 high-burden health districts in seven provinces, including Kirundo, Muyinga, and Karusi for maternal and child health/family planning. Regarding past performance reviews, the prime applicant may submit a maximum of three relevant awards, with sub-awardees allowed to contribute their own past performance if the prime applicant has less than three.
