RFA Announcement of LF MDA Fund Transfer

Request for Applications (RFA) from local non-governmental organizations to transfer funds and provide technical support to Municipalities and Rural Municipalities for the implementation of Lymphatic Filariasis Mass Drug Administration (LF MDA)

ENVISION is an eight-year project funded by the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) which provides assistance to national neglected tropical disease (NTD) control programs for the control and elimination of seven targeted NTDs: lymphatic filariasis, trachoma, onchocerciasis, schistosomiasis, and three soil-transmitted helminths (roundworm, hookworm, whipworm). ENVISION contributes to the global goal of reducing the burden of targeted NTDs so that they are no longer public health problems.
