    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.

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.
