Opportunity Information: Apply for 72049218APS00001 03

The Health Equity and Financial Protection Platform (HEFPP) is a USAID/Philippines funding opportunity aimed at improving health outcomes for underserved populations in the Philippines, with a strong focus on reproductive, maternal, and newborn health. The grant is designed to support activities that directly reduce three persistent public health challenges: unmet need for modern family planning, high rates of teenage pregnancy, and preventable newborn illness and death (newborn morbidity and mortality). In practical terms, the opportunity is seeking a program approach that helps more people access and use modern contraception when they want it, helps adolescents avoid unintended pregnancies, and strengthens conditions around pregnancy, childbirth, and early newborn care so babies are healthier and more likely to survive.

This opportunity is being offered under the authority of the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961 (as amended), and it is administered by the U.S. Agency for International Development Mission in the Philippines (USAID/Philippines), based in Manila. The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, which typically means USAID expects to have substantial involvement in the program during implementation (for example, collaboration on planning, monitoring, and key technical decisions), rather than simply providing funds and stepping back as in some grant structures.

The notice is specifically issued as Addendum #3 to Annual Program Statement (APS) No. 72049218APS00001. The addendum functions as guidance to help prospective applicants understand what kinds of activities USAID is willing to consider and what level of funding is available, so they can develop and submit concept papers. Concept papers are an early-stage submission that outlines the applicant s proposed approach and value proposition; USAID uses them to identify the most promising ideas before requesting more detailed applications. To be considered competitive, applicants are expected to follow the concept paper submission process and requirements exactly as laid out in the underlying APS on Grants.gov, because responsiveness to the APS instructions is part of how applications are screened.

In terms of funding scope and competitiveness, USAID/Philippines anticipates making a single award under this addendum. The expected number of awards is one (1), with an award ceiling of up to USD 11,500,000. Because only one cooperative agreement is anticipated, the opportunity is likely to be highly competitive and oriented toward an applicant (or consortium) that can demonstrate strong technical capacity, implementation reach, and credible partnerships to achieve measurable results in family planning, adolescent reproductive health, and newborn health outcomes. The activity category is Health, and the assistance listing is CFDA 98.001, which is the standard listing used for many USAID foreign assistance programs.

Eligibility is listed as unrestricted, meaning it is open to any type of entity, subject to any additional eligibility clarifications contained in the APS and addendum text. In effect, that can include nonprofits, for-profit organizations, universities, and potentially local or international organizations, as long as they meet USAID requirements and any specific conditions described in the funding notice. The opportunity was posted with a creation date of June 28, 2018, and an original closing date of August 3, 2018, which indicates the submission window for concept papers under this addendum was relatively short and required applicants to be prepared to respond quickly and in the required format.

Overall, HEFPP represents a targeted investment by USAID/Philippines to improve equitable access to essential health services and reduce preventable risks among populations that are often left behind, particularly women, adolescents, and newborns. The emphasis on reducing unmet family planning need, lowering teenage pregnancies, and improving newborn outcomes signals a results-driven platform that likely expects strong coordination with Philippine health systems, data-informed interventions, and strategies that improve both service availability and the ability of underserved communities to obtain timely, quality care without undue barriers.
