Opportunity Information: Apply for 72062424RFA00001
The Community Health Equity Through Systems Strengthening (CHESS) Activity is a USAID-funded health opportunity focused on strengthening community-level systems in Cameroon so that more people, especially underserved groups, can access essential health services in an equitable way. The core idea is to deepen community participation in national health efforts and make sure communities are not just beneficiaries, but active partners in planning, implementing, and sustaining solutions that improve health outcomes and reduce gaps in access and quality.
CHESS is structured as a five-year cooperative agreement, which typically means USAID expects close collaboration with the awardee during implementation rather than a hands-off grant. The activity will be awarded to a local entity, using USAID’s definition of a local organization (as referenced in ADS 303.6). In practice, that eligibility requirement is meant to keep leadership, decision-making, and resources closer to Cameroonian institutions and communities, and to build longer-term local capacity rather than relying primarily on external implementers.
The activity is designed to support priorities from Cameroon’s 2020-2030 National Development Strategy (NDS). Specifically, CHESS aligns with national goals to (1) advance sustainable development through healthier, more productive human capital that can contribute to inclusive and sustainable economic growth, (2) guarantee equitable and universal access to basic health services and care for all segments of the population, and (3) prioritize specialized, high-quality healthcare with full participation from communities. The opportunity also notes that interventions may be adjusted in later years to stay aligned with future updates to the NDS, signaling that the program is intended to remain flexible and responsive to evolving national priorities and on-the-ground realities.
From an administrative standpoint, the opportunity is listed as discretionary funding and falls under the health category, with CFDA/Assistance Listing number 98.001. The funding opportunity number is 72062424RFA00001. USAID’s West Africa platform is listed as the agency (West Africa USAID-Ghana), and the solicitation anticipates a single award (ExpectedAwards: 1), with an award ceiling of $6,023,000 for the full period. The posting date is 2023-11-13 and the original closing date is 2023-12-07. Eligible applicants are local Cameroonian entities, consistent with the activity’s emphasis on locally led systems strengthening and community-centered approaches to improving health equity nationwide.Apply for 72062424RFA00001
