Opportunity Information: Apply for 72061520RFI000004
The USAID Kenya and East Africa opportunity titled "Private Sector Opportunities to a Fully Private Care and Treatment" (Funding Opportunity Number 72061520RFI000004) is centered on exploring how private sector partners can help reshape Kenya's healthcare supply and service delivery using market-based approaches. USAID issued this as a Request for Information (RFI), which signals that the agency is first trying to understand what the market can realistically offer before moving into a formal competitive solicitation. In practical terms, USAID is inviting organizations to share ideas, capabilities, business models, and lessons learned that could support a shift toward more privately delivered and financed care and treatment, with the broader aim of expanding access while building a health system that can sustain itself over time rather than relying indefinitely on donor support.
The opportunity falls under the health sector and is administered by the Agency for International Development, USAID-Nairobi, under CFDA number 98.001. The applicant pool is listed as unrestricted, meaning the RFI is open to virtually any type of entity (such as private companies, investors, healthcare providers, insurers, nonprofits, or consortia), subject to any additional eligibility notes that may have been included in the full attachment. Because it is an RFI, the immediate goal is market research and partner discovery, but USAID indicates it expects the RFI to lead to a subsequent solicitation and, ultimately, a single award. That planned award is anticipated to run for up to five years, suggesting USAID is looking for a partner or implementing mechanism capable of carrying out a multi-year effort that can demonstrate measurable, durable change in how care and treatment are supplied and paid for in Kenya.
Financially, the posting lists an award ceiling of USD 5,500,000 and an expected number of awards of one. That combination usually implies a relatively focused intervention rather than a broad portfolio of sub-awards, with USAID likely seeking a clear, cohesive strategy and a partner that can execute it end-to-end. The emphasis on "private sector engagement" and "market-based approaches" points toward solutions such as strengthening private provider networks, improving distribution and availability of health commodities through commercial supply chains, expanding sustainable financing models (for example, insurance-linked care, employer-based coverage approaches, or cost-recovery models designed to protect vulnerable populations), and using performance incentives or risk-sharing structures that encourage quality and efficiency. The "fully private care and treatment" language also suggests an interest in transitioning certain services that may historically have depended on donor procurement or public-sector delivery into models where private entities can operate viably while still meeting public health objectives.
The RFI was created on August 20, 2020, with an original closing date of September 10, 2020, indicating a relatively short window for industry to provide feedback and capability statements. USAID also references additional details in an Attachment 1 document, which typically contains the specific questions USAID wants respondents to address, such as target populations or service areas, expected geographic scope, possible partnership structures, regulatory or market barriers, approaches to affordability and equity, and how respondents would measure outcomes like increased access, improved quality, and financial sustainability. Overall, the opportunity is best understood as USAID testing the market for credible, scalable private sector-led pathways to improve healthcare access in Kenya while reducing long-term dependence on external funding, and positioning itself to make a single five-year award based on what it learns through the RFI process.Apply for 72061520RFI000004
