Opportunity Information: Apply for RFA 442 17 000005
USAID/Cambodia - Enhancing Quality of Healthcare (RFA 442-17-000005) is a discretionary health funding opportunity from the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) in Phnom Penh that planned a five-year cooperative agreement to improve the quality of healthcare services across Cambodia. The core aim is to strengthen both public and private health service quality in a sustainable way by providing technical assistance to national and sub-national health systems, rather than relying mainly on direct service delivery. The opportunity emphasizes building on existing quality assurance efforts and refining them so they are more consistent, effective, and scalable across the country.
The activity is organized around four main objectives. First, it seeks to improve policies, guidelines, and standards so that quality assurance is clearer, more streamlined, and more consistently applied. Second, it targets better efficiency and effectiveness in how services are delivered, which can include operational improvements, management support, and selective introduction of proven techniques, approaches, and technologies that raise care quality. Third, it focuses on strengthening the regulatory framework and improving implementation and enforcement, recognizing that standards alone do not improve care unless providers are held accountable and systems for oversight actually function. Fourth, it aims to strengthen pre-service public health training, with the intent of improving the pipeline of future health workers and embedding quality expectations earlier in professional development.
Implementation support is intended to reach multiple levels of Cambodia's health system. The award would work with the Ministry of Health as well as Provincial Health Departments, Operational District Offices, and referral hospital management teams. Through targeted technical assistance, these institutions would be supported to manage and improve service quality, and to incorporate updated methods that measurably strengthen patient care. The approach is designed to reinforce and enhance systems that are already working, rather than replacing them, while making sure quality assurance efforts align with USAID/Cambodia's priority technical areas: maternal and child health, family planning, nutrition, tuberculosis, HIV, and malaria.
A major distinguishing feature of this opportunity is its strong emphasis on the private sector, reflecting the reality that a significant portion of healthcare in Cambodia is delivered outside the public system. USAID highlights the need to ensure quality of private sector services by strengthening licensing and regulation of providers and expanding monitoring of service quality. The longer-term direction described is movement toward an accreditation system that applies to both public and private providers, creating a more unified framework for standards, compliance, and continuous improvement across the entire health market.
In terms of funding and administrative details, the instrument type is a cooperative agreement, which typically implies substantial engagement by USAID during implementation. The opportunity listed an award ceiling of USD 29,000,000 and anticipated up to five awards. It falls under CFDA 98.001. The solicitation was created on August 25, 2017, with an original closing date of October 4, 2017, at 1600 Phnom Penh time. Eligibility is listed broadly as "Others" with additional eligibility clarification referenced in the full solicitation text.Apply for RFA 442 17 000005
