The US Agency for International Development (USAID) Mozambique intends to negotiate and award a Cost Plus Fixed Fee (CPFF) completion type contract for the project entitled "Integrated Malaria Program" (IMaP) under USAID/Mozambique's Presidential Malaria Initiative (PMI). The activity aligns strategically with Mozambique's National Malaria Strategic Plan (NMSP). IMaP will strengthen the Ministry of Health's (MoH) capacity to implement the NMSP at national, provincial, district, and community levels. The project will strengthen partnerships with communities, civil society, health facilities, District Health Directorates (DDS), Provincial Health Directorates (DPS), the private sector, and cooperating partners to scale up and maintain internationally accepted strategies to fight malaria.

Synopsis: IMaP will contribute to reduce malaria mortality, morbidity, and parasitemia in targeted provinces, thereby supporting USAID Mozambique's Country Development and Cooperation Strategy (CDCS) Development Objective 4 - Health status of target populations improved. The activities included in this design contribute to the Intermediate Result 4.1 - Coverage of high impact health and nutrition services increased. This will be achieved by increasing utilization and uptake of quality malaria prevention and control interventions. The two principal modes for the provision of malaria services are the facility and community levels. The activities will address all three sub-results shown in Figure 1 by improving the quality of implementation and use of facility and community-based malaria services and by strengthening the data flow between these systems.

Period of Performance: A period of 5 years from the effective date of award.
