Opportunity Information: Apply for 72049223APS00001
The Universal Health Care Project (UHCP) Annual Program Statement (APS) is a USAID Philippines funding opportunity designed to support a coordinated set, or "suite," of awards that collectively strengthen the Philippine health system and improve health outcomes for underserved and vulnerable populations. The overall aim is to advance Universal Health Care (UHC) in the Philippines in line with shared priorities of the U.S. Government, USAID, and the Government of the Philippines. Rather than funding a single standalone project, the APS is structured to generate multiple complementary activities that work together under an integrated health portfolio, with an emphasis on building a more resilient, equitable health system at both national and local levels.
At its core, the UHCP focuses on health systems strengthening and improving the quality of health service delivery. This includes practical, system-level interventions that can make health services more accessible, reliable, and effective, especially for communities that face barriers due to geography, income, stigma, or other vulnerabilities. Alongside systems improvements, the APS also highlights the importance of encouraging positive social norms and healthier behaviors, recognizing that better health outcomes often depend not only on the availability of services but also on whether people can and will use them safely and consistently.
The technical areas USAID expects to address through UHCP-supported activities reflect key U.S. global health objectives and pressing public health needs in the Philippines. The APS explicitly names tuberculosis (TB), family planning and adolescent reproductive health (FP/ARH), HIV/AIDS, and global health security (GHS) as priority areas, while also leaving room for work related to broader health systems issues and emerging public health concerns. In practice, this signals an interest in proposals that can strengthen the enabling environment for prevention, diagnosis, treatment, and sustained care, while also improving coordination, readiness, and overall system performance in the face of health threats.
Administratively, the opportunity is issued by the U.S. Agency for International Development, Mission in the Philippines (USAID-Manila) under Funding Opportunity Number 72049223APS00001. It is categorized as a discretionary opportunity and uses an "other" funding instrument type, consistent with APS mechanisms that often solicit concepts and then refine activities through addenda or subsequent steps. USAID anticipates making up to six awards under this statement, reinforcing the idea that the UHCP is meant to function as a coordinated package of related investments rather than a single award.
The APS was created on August 1, 2023, and the overall closing date is July 31, 2024, with the important detail that each addendum released under the APS may carry its own specific deadline. The award ceiling is listed as 0 in the source data, which typically indicates that a single maximum award amount is not specified at the APS level and may instead be defined in later addenda or individual award negotiations. Eligibility is listed broadly as "Others," with additional requirements or clarifications expected in the full eligibility language referenced in the solicitation.
Taken together, this APS is essentially an umbrella solicitation intended to mobilize multiple partners and interventions to strengthen how the Philippine health system is organized and performs, improve the quality and reach of services, and support behavior and social norm changes that make those services more effective. The expected result is a health system that is better able to deliver equitable care for priority diseases and health needs, withstand shocks, and sustain progress toward Universal Health Care.Apply for 72049223APS00001
