This opportunity is restricted to local and regional entities as defined in the PEPFAR Country Operational Plan of 2022, definition of a Local Partner: Under PEPFAR, a “local partner” may be an individual, a sole proprietorship, or an entity. However, to be considered a local partner, the applicant must submit supporting documentation. USAID has restrictions on funding to partner government entities therefore sub-awards to current employees of the Ministry of Health may not be possible. In addition given the nature of the work requested there are a number ethical and conflict of interest concerns that would need to be addressed.
