Opportunity Information: Apply for 72064122APS00002
The USAID Ghana Health Program (GHP) Annual Program Statement (APS) is a competitive grant opportunity from the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), Ghana Mission, through its Office of Health, Population, and Nutrition. It invites organizations to submit concept papers for potential funding to support health activities in Ghana. The overarching aim is to speed up progress in reducing preventable illness and deaths among mothers, newborns, and children, particularly in specific geographic focus areas. The program is designed to build on Ghana's existing health and development gains while pushing for stronger, more integrated health services that better reach vulnerable populations.
At its core, this APS is focused on practical improvements in how primary health care and frontline services are delivered and sustained. USAID is looking for interventions that combine technical assistance with service delivery in ways that strengthen local capacity and reduce long-term dependence on external support. A major theme is reinforcing the resilience and sustainability of Ghana's health system by investing in local institutions and health system actors, meaning activities should not only provide services but also leave behind stronger systems, skills, and processes that continue functioning after the award period.
The health priorities reflected in the APS align with Ghana's national strategies and USAID's health objectives, especially around preventing maternal, newborn, and child deaths and improving broader health outcomes. The scope includes work that supports better nutrition outcomes and continued progress against major public health threats such as malaria and HIV. Rather than treating these areas in isolation, the opportunity emphasizes integrated approaches that can improve overall service quality and continuity of care across the health system, especially for populations at higher risk or with limited access to reliable services.
The APS also signals a renewed push toward strengthening primary care using established Ghana Health Service policies and approaches. In particular, it highlights the Community Health Planning and Services (CHPS) policy, which is Ghana's flagship community-based primary health care strategy. Applicants are expected to design activities that fit within and reinforce this primary care platform rather than building parallel systems. The opportunity also references an emerging "Network of Practice" approach, suggesting interest in models that connect providers and facilities into learning and support networks to improve quality, spread best practices, and solve implementation bottlenecks more quickly.
Another highlighted priority is the rapid expansion of basic emergency obstetric and newborn care and related support services. This points to an interest in strengthening the continuum from community-level care to facility-based lifesaving services, including readiness to manage common complications during pregnancy, delivery, and the immediate newborn period. Competitive concepts will likely show how they will improve access, quality, and referral pathways, and how they will support the health workforce, commodities, supervision, and quality improvement mechanisms needed to make emergency maternal and newborn services reliable in practice.
From an administrative standpoint, this opportunity is issued under the authority of the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961, as amended, and awards are governed by federal assistance regulations including 2 CFR 700 and 2 CFR 200, which cover uniform requirements for managing federal awards, cost principles, and audit requirements. The opportunity is identified as Funding Opportunity Number 72064122APS00002 under CFDA 98.001 (USAID foreign assistance). The eligibility category is listed as unrestricted, meaning a wide range of entity types may apply, subject to any additional eligibility clarifications included in the full APS.
In terms of scale, the funding opportunity lists an award ceiling of $29,000,000 and anticipates making up to six awards. The posting indicates it was created on August 31, 2022, with an original closing date of August 29, 2023, reflecting an APS structure that typically accepts and reviews concept papers under specified timelines and may support multiple awards that address different elements of the program's objectives. Overall, the APS is oriented toward solutions that measurably reduce preventable maternal, newborn, and child morbidity and mortality while strengthening Ghana's health system through locally grounded, sustainable, integrated primary health care and improved emergency obstetric and newborn care.Apply for 72064122APS00002
