This funding opportunity aims to enhance global health security in Kenya by building on over forty years of partnership with the CDC. The focus is on improving epidemic prevention, early detection of biological threats, and effective response strategies. Key outcomes include strengthening public health systems and implementation science programs to ensure healthier populations. With continued support from the U.S. government, the initiative aligns with global health priorities to protect the well-being of the Kenyan people.

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:
Improve prevention of avoidable epidemics including naturally occurring outbreaks and intentional or accidental releases of dangerous pathogenImprove ability to rapidly detect threats early, including detecting, characterizing, and reporting emerging biological threatsRespond rapidly and effectively to public health threats of international concernStrengthen implementation science programs and platforms to improve health outcomes.
