About this opportunity
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is soliciting cooperative agreement applications to strengthen Ethiopia's public health systems and achieve International Health Regulation compliance through disease surveillance, laboratory capacity, workforce development, and emergency response capabilities, with applications due October 2, 2026. Work must be conducted in Ethiopia. Eligible applicants include state and local governments, nonprofits (501(c)(3) and non-501(c)(3)), institutions of higher education (public and private), for-profit organizations, tribal governments and organizations, small businesses, and foreign entities.

The award period is five 12-month budget periods with an expected award start date of October 30, 2026. Funding is structured across five components: Component 1 (Core Global Health Security Priorities) carries a $2,000,000 ceiling and is expected to be funded initially; Components 2 through 5 (Rapid Small-Scale Response, Rapid Large-Scale Response, Emerging Infectious Disease Threats, and Emergency Management) have ceilings of $5,000,000, $10,000,000, $15,000,000, and $750,000 respectively and are approved but unfunded pending future availability. The program targets six core strategies: strengthening national and regional leadership and coordination; integrating and capacitating laboratory systems; improving surveillance; strengthening public health workforce capacity through the Field Epidemiology Training Program; enhancing multisectoral One Health coordination; and supporting public health programs and service delivery.

Synopsis
The CDC office in Ethiopia was established in 2001 and works closely with the Ministry of Health (MOH), the Ethiopian Public Health Institute (EPHI), and other Government of Ethiopia (GOE) agencies to develop the capacity to prevent, detect, and respond to priority diseases. In 2014, CDC began coordination with the GOE to build Ethiopia's capacity to achieve the International Health Regulation (IHR) targets through implementing the Global Health Security Agenda. The initial road map was developed with multi-sector partners in 2015, and the multi-sector collaboration is proving successful with over 500 trained in field epidemiology, a national public health emergency operations center activated for outbreaks and expanding diagnostic and surveillance capacity. In 2020, CDC has continued to support and advance GOE's ability to detect, respond and manage multiple concurrent outbreaks that plague Ethiopia on a yearly basis through the collaboration of multiple implementing partners including EPHI. CDC will continue to empower the GOE to strengthen their response efforts to public health emergencies by building on the 2020-2025 projects focused on CDC's Global Health Security Framework. The strategic focus areas of CDC's work to achieve Ethiopia's IHR compliance are the following: (1) Laboratory, (2) Workforce Development, (3) Surveillance, (4) Emergency Response and Management, (5) Antimicrobial Resistance (6) Immunization, (7) Health Information System Strengthening.
