Improving global health security in Côte d'Ivoire to stop the spread of infectious disease

This funding opportunity aims to strengthen global health security in Côte d’Ivoire by supporting programs that collaborate with the Ministry of Health and other governmental bodies to prevent, detect, and respond to infectious disease threats. The initiative focuses on three core outcomes: preventing avoidable epidemics caused by naturally occurring outbreaks or deliberate and accidental releases of dangerous pathogens; enhancing the ability to swiftly identify, characterize, and report emerging public health threats; and building robust capacity to mount rapid and effective responses to infectious diseases that pose international public health concerns. The program is designed to sustain and expand upon previous efforts funded by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to ensure long-term resilience against health emergencies. The opportunity is issued under solicitation number CDC-RFA-JG-26-0042 by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s Global Health Center, under the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. Applications must be submitted by October 2, 2026, with the notice posted on August 3, 2026. The funding is open to entities partnering with Côte d’Ivoire’s public health institutions, and the primary point of contact for inquiries is the CDC’s Global Health Procurement and Notices Office, reachable via email and phone provided. Performance of the activities will take place in Côte d’Ivoire, with U.S.-based administrative support, and the initiative aligns with broader international efforts to secure global health systems against emerging threats.
