The Health Systems Strengthening Accelerator (Accelerator) is a global initiative funded by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) through a Cooperative Agreement, with co-funding from the Bill amp; Melinda Gates Foundation (BMGF). Its goal is to strengthen institutions and processes, build local expertise, and support countries as they co-create, innovate and adapt, in order to build more effective and sustainable health system interventions on their journeys to self-reliance. The program’s approach supports local partners as they lead implementation and find their own pathways to meaningful and lasting health systems change. The Accelerator is led by R4D.
The Inclusive Development Hub of USAID’s Bureau for Development, Democracy, and Innovation (DDI) has engaged with the Accelerator to support the Government of Liberia (GoL) in expanding the provision of high-quality mental health and psychosocial support (MHPSS) services. Accelerator support to the GoL will be implemented over a period of 12 months. Overall, the project will seek to strengthen key health system functions (with tools, processes, and capacities) that can mitigate the care, quality, and/or prevention gaps in Liberia’s MHPSS response.Opportunity:
