Introduction

The New Partnerships Initiative EXPAND: New Partners for Better Health (NPI EXPAND) Activity implemented by Palladium International, LLC (Palladium), is a five-year cooperative agreement funded by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID). NPI EXPAND's ultimate goal is to increase the availability and utilization of high-quality services through new and underutilized local partners (NUPs) globally.

The USAID Ethiopia Mission is engaging the NPI EXPAND project to support their Empowered Communities for Better Health (ECBH) project, which aims to empower locally driven improvements in health and nutrition and foster a cycle of responsive and accountable service delivery. The ECBH emphasizes the need to engage communities toward improved health services and outcomes. This involves tapping civil society organizations, networks (e.g., women, men, youth), professional associations (e.g., midwives), religious institutions, and community elders and other community structures (e.g., IDDIRs) toward better health.

Request for Expression of Interest (EOI):

NPI EXPAND Ethiopia invites grant applications from select Civil Society Organizations including non-governmental organizations, professional associations, faith-based groups, and community-based organizations. Applicants must be registered with the Organization for Civil Societies Agency of Ethiopia under the revised proclamation of 2019 and have the skills and experience necessary to implement activities in one or more of the intervention areas outlined in the Expression of Interest (EoI).
