Request for Proposals (RFP) for HS4TB Global TB Strategy – Leadership Engagement and Strategic Management
Request for Proposals (RFP) for HS4TB Global TB Strategy – Leadership Engagement and Strategic Management
MSH has received a Task Order from the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) under the Integrated Health Systems (IHS) IDIQ Contract to implement the USAID Health Systems for Tuberculosis (HS4TB) project. The purpose of the HS4TB Task Order is to support achievement of USAID TB outcomes through health systems strengthening approaches. The Task Order has two objectives, which form the basis for devising a coherent, overarching, interlocking solution for each country as it seeks to improve the organization and functioning of TB-related health systems in-country:
Objective 1:
Increase the ability of health system actors to use health financing to drive effective achievement of improved TB outcomes
- Sub-Objective 1.1: Improve resource mobilization and allocation for TB services
Objective 2:
Increase the effectiveness of TB governance in-country, including the provision of solutions for countries with decentralized governance, investment, and allocation strategies that align with the local political landscape and meet the needs of modern TB service delivery, and improvements in the coherence and communication between different actors
- Sub-Objective 2.1: Ensure strong technical and managerial competence and leadership in the TB sector
The award described in this Request for Proposals will support two related activities:
- Create and manage a program to foster meaningful dialogue among high-level government officials, including in health and finance ministries, in countries
- Provide strategic management capabilities for a range of related global activities related to TB
Together with such related activities, they will make clearer the need, both to the global community and stakeholders in country, for (a) resource commitments and focus to fight global TB; and (b) more active participation of national leaders across government agencies and branches in health policymaking and governance.
