Program description
This NOFO aims to foster partnerships that support collaboration between CDC and the Indonesian Ministry of Health (MOH) in achieving global health security goals, implementing International Health Regulations core principles, and effectively preventing, detecting, and responding to public health threats. Projects considered for this opportunity should focus on strengthening capacity in five key public health areas: Real-Time Surveillance and Reporting, Laboratory Systems, Workforce Development, Emergency Management and Response, and Health System Strengthening and Services Delivery. These projects should build upon the existing public health infrastructure and activities initiated in the previous CDC project CDC-RFA-GH20-2120. Additionally, they should address recommendations from the Joint External Evaluation 2023, align with MOH strategic plans, prioritize gaps identified in the National Action Plan for Health Security, and incorporate robust monitoring and evaluation of program performance and progress.
