Summary
Notice of funding opportunity (NOFO) issued by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) for the Kenya Digital Health Ecosystem (KDHE) Activity. The NOFO outlines the eligibility criteria, application submission requirements, and selection process for local organizations in Kenya to apply for a cooperative agreement to implement the KDHE Activity. The NOFO specifies that interested applicants must follow a 3-phase process, including the submission of concept papers, participation in an oral presentation, and submission of a full application. The document emphasizes the importance of aligning with national and county governments' ICT policy and strategic directions to achieve universal health coverage and highlights the need for strategic engagement with local systems and actors, investment in digital health governance, leadership, capacity, and systems for long-term ownership and sustainability, increased involvement of the private sector, and strategic collaboration and coordination.

The KDHE Activity aims to provide technical assistance to the Ministry of Health (MOH) on the deployment of integrated comprehensive health information systems, support the management of system evolutions, and align strategic approaches with the new digital health policy environment and the government of Kenya's vision on achieving universal health coverage through implementation of primary health care (PHC) and primary care networks (PCNs) with a strong digital component at all levels. The document also stresses the importance of data-driven co-created technical assistance plans based on locally available data. Interested parties are encouraged to thoroughly review the NOFO for detailed program description, federal award information, eligibility information, application and submission information, application review information, federal award administration information, federal awarding agency contacts, as well as standard provisions and abbreviations/acronyms.
