The purpose of the Health Financing Activity (HFA) is to improve access to equitable and quality health services and prevent catastrophic health expenditure through increased resources for health, efficient allocation and utilization, and enhanced financial risk protection in alignment with Ethiopias overall aim of achieving Universal Health Coverage (UHC) through Primary Health Care (PHC) by 2035. Health care financing reform in Ethiopia, initiated in 1998, aimed to improve the quality and equity of health services. The strategy focused on increasing resources for health care, promoting efficiency, and ensuring long-term sustainability through multiple financing mechanisms. Key interventions included revenue retention at health facilities, a fee-waiver system, standardized exemption services, and the introduction of health insurance schemes. These reforms have significantly improved health service delivery and financial protection for citizens. USAIDs investments in healthcare financing reform are largely focused on strengthening and institutionalizing health care financing (HCF) functions and systems to support universal health coverage of quality primary health care (PHC) services for Ethiopian citizens with reduced financial barriers. The HFA will build upon the lessons derived from previous USAID Ethiopia Health Care financing reform initiatives, including the recent five-year Health Financing Improvement Program (HFIP). The expected outcomes will be evidence-based and objectively measured through the progress made in the country's capacity to achieve sufficient, equitable, sustainable, and efficient financing for universal healthcare coverage.

Adolescence is a critical risk period for substance use initiation and adverse outcomes related to substance use, particularly as drug use has been found to escalate between ages 12 and 19. The goal of substance use prevention efforts is to prevent and/or delay the first use of substances. Research shows that early age of onset is an important predictor for the development of a substance use disorder later in life. Further, research shows that prevention interventions can have positive long-term effects in reducing substance use. Recognizing that preventing or delaying initiation of substance use can confer important health and social benefits, the purpose of the NCI is to serve as the training and technical assistance partner for DFC and non-DFC funded community coalitions across the country by enhancing the capacity of the prevention workforce and others in the prevention community to implement evidence-based interventions.

Executive Summary: The Embassy of the United States of America, Bishkek, announces an open competition to implement a program to support equal access to public services, educational institutions, and economic opportunities for all peoples, including minorities and marginalized groups. This program supports an inclusive society and vibrant, effective civic engagement by competitively awarding cooperative agreements to nonprofit, nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) and associations, civil society organizations (CSOs), educational institutions and independent local media organizations in the Kyrgyz Republic. Respect for others is a shared value between the Kyrgyz and American people, but understanding of and sensitivity toward diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility (DEIA) concepts remains limited in the Kyrgyz Republic. By promoting understanding of DEIA concepts, this project will advance U.S. foreign policy priorities to reduce discrimination and advance the human rights of historically marginalized groups. Background: The Public Diplomacy Section (PDS) of the U.S. Embassy in the Kyrgyz Republic is soliciting applications for cooperative agreements that focus on the requirements below.

Over the past year, PDS has implemented two initiatives focused on accessibility and promoting DEIA terminology in the Kyrgyz language: 1) DEIA Kyrgyz-language flashmob with local Kyrgyz-speaking social media influencers; and 2) Installation of the elevator specifically designed for wheelchair users. This funding opportunity seeks to support projects promoting respect for human rights in the Kyrgyz Republic. Potential projects may include, but not limited to: Expanding and popularizing DEIA terminology in the Kyrgyz language: Translating existing resources and DEIA-related vocabulary, developing educational materials.

The purpose of this NOFO is to reduce the burden of vector-borne diseases by building public health entomology capacity within regional networks around the globe to improve surveillance and control of arthropods of public health importance. Key objectives include developing and expanding regional expertise in surveillance and control of arthropods of public health importance; formalizing and encouraging mechanisms for information exchange between public health entomologists; strengthening networks and through them improve the public health impact of vector control and emergency response preparedness; and long-term sustainability of networks. Additionally, this project will build on ongoing work with to strengthen preparedness and response capacity for arboviral outbreaks through implementation and evaluation of sterile insect technique (SIT) in the Pacific to reduce vectors and risk for arboviral diseases.
