Notice Title
Public Financial Management in Ghana's Health Sector
Notice Description
The outcome being sought is to improve financial management, transparency and accountability that enables delivery of the Government of Ghana's strategic priorities for the health sector, increases self-reliance and supports increased domestic resource mobilisation. While health is the primary focus, other social sectors will be integrated into activities where possible to maximise impact across social sector financial management. This contract is to continue work that had begun implementation under an FCDO Delegated Cooperation Agreement (DCA) with USAID signed in November 2024. The DCA provided FCDO funding for the implementation of the USAID Promoting Results and Outcomes through Policy and Economic Levers (PROPEL) Health programme's public financial management component in Ghana, delivered by Palladium. The PROPEL programme was paused by USAID in January 2025 and subsequently terminated. Specifically, this contract is for Palladium to continue implementation of the prior workplan activities up to March 2026.
Procurement Information
Cancellation of USAID funded programme. FCDO picked up responsibility using the supplier that USAID had previously contracted.
