Please note that whist the Familiarisation with FCDO Tender Process session is planned in relation to the EMPOWER - Strengthening access to Family Planning in the Private Sector, Component 3, the event will not cover the requirements of the contract.
Background information:
Component 3 of the wider EMPOWER programme aims to contribute to creating a vibrant and self-sustaining private sector market for voluntary Family Planning (FP) services in Urban and Semi-urban areas. This will involve identifying the market segments that can pay for their services and building capacity of Private for Profit (PFP) and Private-Not-For-Profit (PNFP) outlets to provide these services affordably and sustainably.
FCDO expects the private sector to play an increasing role in contributing to Uganda’s targeted modern Contraceptive Prevalence Rate (mCPR) and to increase the share of FP service delivery covered by other funding sources beyond Government of Uganda (GOU)and donors, including, for example, out of pocket and health insurance.
Potential interventions are expected to address both demand and supply factors, and the delivery partner(s) are expected to test and scale up the most appropriate interventions.
