AI Contract Overview
This contract aims to enhance the capacities of the Nigeria Centre for Disease Control and Prevention (NCDC) and other relevant Nigerian government entities to better implement the International Health Regulations (IHR) through a strengthened multi-sectoral response framework.

The effort is designed to foster collaborative, multisectoral action across national and sub-national levels, thereby enhancing Nigeria’s overall health security and resilience against emerging diseases. Spearheaded by the Centers for Disease Control under the Department of Health and Human Services, the contract reflects a strategic approach to expanding global health security through strengthened local partnerships in Nigeria. The contact point for additional information is Broderick Yoerg, with correspondence facilitated via the CDC.

Full Description
The purpose of this NOFO is to strengthen International Health Regulations (IHR) (2005) capacities of the Nigeria Centre for Disease Control and Prevention (NCDC); other Government of Nigeria ministries, departments, and agencies (MDAs) relevant to the implementation of multi-sectoral response efforts of the IHR; and sub-national public health institutions, such as State Ministries of Health and local government authorities. NCDC recently completed its second Joint External Evaluation (JEE) in 2023 and has shown significant improvement from the first JEE in 2017, however several gaps remain. Strengthening NCDC and MDAs health systems and workforce management capacity will further support Nigeria’s ability to work collaboratively using a multisectoral approach to implement the IHR. Strengthening sub-national capacities can improve detection and response to health threats at the local level where they occur.
