Sustaining Global Health Security to protect and improve public health in Kenya

About this archived opportunity

For over forty years, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has partnered with the Government of Kenya (GoK) to protect the health of the Kenyan people and strengthen health systems. The United States Government remains the largest investor in Kenya’s health sector. This investment includes PEPFAR (President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief), GHS (Global Health Security), Malaria, TB, Immunizations and Influenza. This Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) seeks to build upon activities funded by CDC to support USG global health priorities in Kenya through implementation of programs and activities that focus on strengthening public health programs. After five years of implementing and strengthening global health security systems, the USG will continue to advance strategies to prevent, detect, and respond to public health threats. This NOFO’s main outcomes are to: 1) Improve prevention of avoidable epidemics including naturally occurring outbreaks and intentional or accidental releases of dangerous pathogens, 2) Improve ability to rapidly detect threats early, including detecting, characterizing, and reporting emerging biological threats, 3) Respond rapidly and effectively to public health threats of international concern, 4) Strengthen implementation science programs and platforms to improve health outcomes.
