III. Project Description
...
Focus on existing tools:
Applications must focus on digital health systems or tools that are currently deployed or in the process of implementation in countries, with requisite authorization or approval from the relevant government ministries for public sector use.
Implementations of the digital health systems or tools should be active in more than one country.
Digital health systems or tools not currently in active implementation will not be considered. Furthermore, digital tools that are active, but show very little usage will not be prioritized.
Health, family planning and last mile relevance:
Existing implementations must include at least one, but preferably more than one, of the USAID FP/RH Recipient Countries listed here: https://www.usaid.gov/global-health/health-areas/family-planning/countries .
The digital health systems or tools must be used for/directly benefit family planning products and may also be used for/directly benefit other health products.
The proposed enhancements must specifically target the last mile of the supply chain or health system. While they may also provide benefits or support to other levels, priority will not be given to enhancements that primarily focus on upstream elements of the supply chain or health system.
Demonstrate impact:
Clearly show how the proposed investment meets a specific need for increasing access to family planning and other health supplies at the last mile and what the expected impact would be.
Provide a plan for measuring the impact of the investment (see section IV below for details/examples).
Funding limitations:
The subaward will not fund activities to initiate or conduct pilot implementations.
Evaluation priority:
Preference may be given to digital health systems or tools classified as Digital Public Goods[1] or Global Goods[2], particularly those with in-country buy-in, though applications are not limited to open-source systems or tools.
