USAID Nigeria has called for proposals for a five-year community health programme to improve health behaviours and services across the country. With funding up to $35 million, the initiative focuses on strengthening community-based health worker programmes and enhancing local health governance.
The programme targets three main areas: implementing evidence-based social behaviour change, scaling up community health worker operations, and strengthening local health governance at government and ward levels.
Eligibility is restricted to local Nigerian organisations, defined as legally organised entities, majority-owned (51% or more), and managed by Nigerian citizens or permanent residents. The agency welcomes applications from organisations new to USAID funding, including faith-based groups.
The application process involves two phases: initial concept submission with oral presentations for shortlisted candidates, followed by detailed proposals from top-ranked applicants. Interested organisations must submit applications by January 24, 2025.
USAID emphasises that applicants must demonstrate a politically neutral humanitarian mandate and commitment to non-discrimination in their operations.
