Opportunity Information: Apply for 72061120RFA00005
The End Malaria Program (EMP) is a USAID Zambia funding opportunity focused on reducing the burden of malaria in Zambia by expanding access to proven malaria prevention, diagnosis, and treatment services. The program targets four provinces with high malaria burden: Luapula, Northern, Muchinga, and Eastern. Within Eastern Province, EMP also sets aside earmarked resources for malaria pre-elimination work in a specific group of districts, starting with Sinda, Katete, Chadiza, Petauke, and Chipata, with the possibility of adding more districts later as progress is made and sustained.
At its core, EMP is designed to improve health outcomes by increasing the reach and quality of malaria control interventions and then tracking success through measurable epidemiological results. The opportunity defines key outcome signals as a reduction in malaria parasite prevalence among children under five years old, along with fewer malaria cases and malaria-related deaths across the targeted provinces. In other words, it is not only about delivering commodities or running campaigns, but about demonstrating real reductions in transmission and mortality, especially among the most vulnerable age group.
Strategically, the activity is meant to fit tightly within Zambia's national malaria policy framework. It is aligned with the National Malaria Elimination Strategic Plan (NMESP) 2017-2021 and is intended to transition seamlessly into support for the updated NMESP 2022-2027. EMP is also positioned as a key partner effort under the broader President's Malaria Initiative (PMI) approach in Zambia, which typically emphasizes evidence-based interventions, strong surveillance, and coordinated implementation with national and subnational health authorities.
A major emphasis of the program is capacity strengthening of the Zambian Ministry of Health. EMP is expected to support MOH implementation of the national strategy at multiple levels: national, provincial, district, and community. That includes helping improve systems and performance not only in facilities but also in district and provincial health structures, and in community-level delivery where prevention and early care-seeking often begin. The opportunity highlights the importance of building and maintaining effective partnerships across a wide set of actors, including communities, civil society groups, health facilities, District Health Departments, Provincial Health Departments, private sector stakeholders, and other cooperating partners. The intent is to scale up and sustain internationally accepted malaria control strategies through coordinated, locally grounded implementation rather than isolated activities.
From an administrative and funding standpoint, this is a discretionary health award released by USAID Zambia (USAID-Lusaka) under Funding Opportunity Number 72061120RFA00005. The funding instrument is a Cooperative Agreement, which typically implies substantial involvement by the funding agency during implementation through collaboration, technical input, and ongoing coordination. The award ceiling listed is USD 38,000,000, with an expectation of making a single award. Eligibility is described as unrestricted, meaning proposals could come from a wide range of entity types, subject to any additional eligibility details that may have been included in the full announcement text. The opportunity was posted on May 13, 2020, with an original closing date of June 23, 2020, and is associated with CFDA number 98.001.Apply for 72061120RFA00005
