Improving Market Partnerships and Access to Commodities Together (IMPACT) in Madagascar is a USAID/Madagascar grant opportunity designed to strengthen the country s health supply chains so essential medicines and health products are consistently available, affordable, and reachable for people across Madagascar. The program focuses specifically on the supply chain systems that support U.S. Government funded commodities for maternal and child health, malaria, and family planning, along with technical assistance aimed at broader supply chain system strengthening. In practical terms, the award is meant to back work that improves how these commodities are forecasted, procured, stored, distributed, and monitored so that quality products are on hand where and when they are needed, while reducing stockouts, wastage, and inefficiencies.
The activity is structured around building long term capacity within the Malagasy health system rather than only delivering short term fixes. A core goal is to help the Government of Madagascar improve its ability to manage and sustain a reliable supply of pharmaceuticals and health commodities over time. This includes reinforcing the institutions, processes, and skills needed for supply chain leadership and oversight, and supporting the systems that make a national supply chain function well, such as logistics management, data use for decision making, and coordination across different levels of the health system. The overall intent is sustainability, meaning that improvements should hold up beyond the life of the project and become embedded in routine management and financing approaches.
A defining feature of IMPACT is its emphasis on a total market approach. Instead of treating the public sector as the only channel for health commodities, USAID envisions the recipient working across public, nonprofit, and commercial actors, using each sector where it is strongest. Under this approach, the project would help align roles so that government channels can better focus on serving populations least able to pay, while nonprofit and private sector channels can expand access for other segments. The opportunity explicitly anticipates work that leverages partnerships and market dynamics to improve availability and access, recognizing that a healthier market ecosystem can complement government distribution and improve resilience when one channel faces disruptions.
Alongside strengthening public sector management and systems, IMPACT is also intended to encourage growth in the commercial sector for health commodities. That includes supporting efforts that help private suppliers and distributors reach new geographic markets and consumer segments, which can increase overall availability and reduce pressure on public supply systems. The program also highlights social marketing as an important tool, with the aim of increasing coverage of essential health products at affordable prices. Social marketing typically combines market based distribution with behavior change and promotional efforts, so the mention here signals that USAID is not only concerned with commodities being present in-country, but also with people being aware of them, trusting them, and choosing to use them appropriately.
The award uses a cooperative agreement mechanism, which usually means USAID expects to remain actively engaged with the recipient during implementation, providing substantial involvement in technical direction and coordination. Eligibility is unrestricted, meaning applications were open to qualified U.S. and non-U.S. organizations, subject to any additional clarifications in the full notice. The legal authority cited for the opportunity is the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961, as amended, which is the standard statutory basis for many USAID assistance programs.
From a funding perspective, the opportunity was posted under Funding Opportunity Number 72068718RFA00003, categorized as discretionary assistance in the health sector under CFDA 98.001. USAID anticipated making one award with an award ceiling of up to USD 32,000,000. The notice was created on February 16, 2018, with an original closing date of March 28, 2018. Overall, IMPACT is best understood as a large, single-award effort to modernize and strengthen the end to end systems and partnerships that keep maternal and child health, malaria, and family planning commodities reliably flowing to the people who need them throughout Madagascar.Apply for 72068718RFA00003
