About HPI
The Health Policy Initiative (HPI) project is a multiple-award IQC designed to exercise global leadership and provide field-level programming in health policy development and implementation. The technical and related assistance provided under this procurement is expected to improve the enabling environment for health, making it possible for men and women around the world to obtain and use the information and services they need for better health, especially in the areas of family planning/reproductive health (FP/RH), HIV/AIDS, and maternal health (MH).
HPI will help countries to:
- Adopt and put into practice policies that improve equitable and affordable access to high-quality services and information
- Strengthen public sector and civil society champions and support them to assume leadership in the policy process
- Increase health sector resources (public, private, nongovernmental, and community-based organizations) and allocate them more effectively and equitably
- Strengthen multisectoral engagement and host-country coordination in the design, implementation, and financing of health programs
- Use timely and accurate data for evidence-based decisionmaking
USAID has awarded four contracts under the HPI IQC to consortia led by Abt Associates Inc., Chemonics International, Futures Group International, and RTI International. The combination of prime and subcontractors provides a diverse mix of talents, skills, and experience, as well as opportunities to work with new partners. Assistance procured through a task order with any one of the prime contractors can be long-term or intermittent, depending on Mission or Bureau requirements. Task orders awarded under HPI can extend up to 36 months beyond the end date of the contract (September 29, 2010), provided they are awarded before that end date.
