Expanding global health security through local partnerships in Indonesia

This opportunity seeks to strengthen global health security in Indonesia through collaborative partnerships between the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the Indonesian Ministry of Health, with the goal of advancing the implementation of International Health Regulations and enhancing the capacity to prevent, detect, and respond to public health threats. Priority will be given to initiatives that build upon previous CDC-funded activities and directly address recommendations from Indonesia’s 2023 Joint External Evaluation and the National Action Plan for Health Security, ensuring alignment with the Ministry’s strategic priorities and existing infrastructure. Projects must focus on five core public health domains: real-time surveillance and reporting, laboratory systems, workforce development, emergency management and response, and health system strengthening and services delivery, with a strong emphasis on sustainable, locally led solutions. Applicants are required to design programs with robust monitoring and evaluation frameworks to measure performance and progress against clearly defined outcomes. All proposals must demonstrate a clear understanding of the local context, engage key national stakeholders, and prioritize identified gaps in Indonesia’s public health system. The solicitation is open to entities capable of executing complex, long-term health security initiatives in partnership with government institutions, and responses must be submitted by October 2, 2026, through the designated grants portal. For inquiries, applicants may contact the CDC point of contact listed in the notice, who serves as the primary liaison for program-specific questions and technical guidance.
