The Health Leadership Project (HLP) is a USAID/Haiti funding opportunity designed to strengthen the Government of Haiti (GOH) in its role as the steward of the national health sector. The core idea is to help Haiti move toward a more coordinated health system that can deliver equitable, quality health services while relying less on external donors and implementing partners. Rather than substituting for government systems, the project is meant to build Haitian institutional capability so local actors can increasingly lead their own development, manage resources more effectively, and reduce long-term dependence on outside support.
HLP emphasizes close collaboration with the GOH, relevant U.S. Government (USG) entities, current implementing partners, and international stakeholders. This reflects the reality that health system strengthening requires alignment across many actors, especially in areas like financing and workforce management where multiple programs and donors often overlap. The project is expected to build on prior efforts in Haiti that have supported better governance, stronger human resources for health, improved health financing approaches, and advocacy to increase domestic resource mobilization for the health sector. In practical terms, that means leveraging lessons learned and existing progress rather than starting from scratch, and focusing on changes that can be sustained by Haitian institutions over time.
The work is organized around two interrelated objectives. The first objective is to support the GOH in increasing its ability to finance the health sector. This includes improving the effectiveness and efficiency of how existing resources are used, which can involve better budgeting, expenditure tracking, and prioritization of spending toward high-impact services. It also includes mobilizing additional resources, which points to efforts like strengthening policy and advocacy for greater domestic investment in health, improving revenue generation approaches that are feasible in the Haitian context, and making the case for sustained government commitments to health spending. The intent is not only to find more money, but also to improve how funds flow and are managed so that financing supports reliable service delivery and reduces fragmentation.
The second objective is to support the GOH in improving planning and oversight of the health workforce. This focuses on the systems and management functions needed to understand workforce needs, deploy staff appropriately, and oversee performance and accountability across the health system. Workforce planning typically involves better data and forecasting (how many workers are needed, where, and with what skills), strategies to address gaps and inequities in staffing, and stronger governance mechanisms so the ministry can coordinate and supervise the workforce more consistently. Because financing and workforce are tightly linked, the two objectives are designed to reinforce one another: improved financing supports workforce sustainability, and better workforce planning helps ensure resources translate into real service capacity.
Administratively, this opportunity was issued by USAID (Agency for International Development), Haiti USAID-Port au Prince, under a Cooperative Agreement, which generally means substantial involvement and collaboration between USAID and the implementer during project execution. The opportunity is listed as discretionary and falls under the health activity category, with CFDA number 98.001.
