Bamako, Mali – The United States and Mali share a belief that a healthy population is essential to building a stronger, more prosperous nation. The United States Agency for International Development (USAID) is celebrating the contributions of two major health programs that have achieved great successes, and is announcing a new $45 million award for Health Systems Strengthening, Governance, and Finance (USAID HSS) to Palladium, a leading implementer of international development programs.

USAID HSS will expand access to high-quality health services and increase Malians’ ability to plan, finance, and manage their health systems and individual health.
