Timeline
    Description

    The Agency for International Development (USAID) is forecasting a funding opportunity titled the PROPEL Health Project, aimed at enhancing family planning and reproductive health (FP/RH) policies through a Request for Information (RFI). This initiative seeks to gather expert input from industry stakeholders to inform the design of future funding opportunities that will address critical areas such as policy advocacy, financing, and the integration of FP/RH with HIV/AIDS and maternal, newborn, and child health programs. The RFI will facilitate an interactive discussion forum from December 6 to December 11, 2020, allowing participants to engage in real-time feedback and share insights on various health strategies. Interested parties can contact Samantha L. Pierre at spierre@usaid.gov for further information, noting that this RFI is not a funding opportunity but a means to collect valuable industry perspectives.

    The PROPEL Health Project, initiated by USAID, is seeking input through a Request for Information (RFI) forum, scheduled from December 6 to December 11, 2020. The forums will be structured to allow industry organizations to engage in bidirectional feedback by responding to both USAID's questions and each other’s comments in a self-managed, message board format. Participants can access and view all live comments during the forum. There are no limits on the number of representatives from each organization, and they may choose to disclose their affiliation or remain anonymous. Although participants can interact freely, USAID will not provide clarification on specific funding details at this stage, as updates may be found on the USAID Business Forecast. The overall objective is to gather varied insights that could shape future funding opportunities aimed at implementing effective development strategies. The forum exemplifies an inclusive approach to soliciting input from various stakeholders in the health sector, reinforcing the collaborative spirit mandated in federal grant initiatives.

    The document is a transcript of the online forum discussions related to the Request for Information (RFI-GH-21-002) by USAID on the PROPEL Health Project, focusing on family planning and reproductive health (FP/RH) policy, advocacy, financing, and governance (PAFG). It underscores the need for an integrated approach to FP/RH, emphasizing engagement with key populations and addressing gender inequities. Key responses identified critical areas for improvement, including better integration of mental health services, enhancing community health systems, and tackling identified gaps in FP/RH policy implementation. The forum highlighted the pressing need for solidarity in policy-making, leveraging private sector involvement, and ensuring that FP/RH services remain essential during crises, notably amid the COVID-19 pandemic. Moreover, respondents discussed the importance of empowering communities and stakeholders to demand accountability and participate actively in the governance of FP/RH services. This discussion is part of ongoing efforts to refine U.S. government assistance programs and methodologies, aimed at achieving sustainable health outcomes through comprehensive FP/RH solutions.
