Description
This funding opportunity from the CDC Global Health Center aims to reinforce and expand Côte d'Ivoire’s ability to prevent, detect, and respond to infectious disease threats. The program builds on prior U.S. investments in global health security, focusing on strengthening surveillance, laboratory systems, workforce development, and emergency preparedness in partnership with the country’s Ministry of Health and other stakeholders. The overarching goal is to stop avoidable epidemics at their source, improve early detection and notification of public health threats, and enable rapid, effective response to infectious diseases of international concern—thereby protecting both local and global populations.
Key outcomes include:
- Improved prevention of avoidable epidemics (including both natural and accidental/intentional pathogen releases)
- Enhanced rapid detection and reporting of emerging public health threats
- Strengthened capacity for rapid, effective response to infectious diseases and international health emergencies
Funded activities may include implementing time-driven frameworks (such as the 7-1-7 model for outbreak detection and response), developing public health workforce capacity through training (e.g., Field Epidemiology Training Program), and reinforcing laboratory and emergency operations infrastructure.
