Opportunity Information: Apply for CDC RFA GH20 2112
This funding opportunity, titled "Advancing Ethiopia's Capacity to meet International Health Regulations requirements" (CDC RFA GH20-2112), is a discretionary cooperative agreement from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), under CFDA 93.318. It is designed to strengthen Ethiopia's ability to prevent, detect, and respond to public health threats in line with the International Health Regulations (IHR), using the Global Health Security Agenda framework as a key implementation pathway. The CDC presence in Ethiopia dates back to 2001, and the work described is built around long-standing partnerships with Ethiopia's Ministry of Health, the Ethiopian Public Health Institute (EPHI), the Ministry of Agriculture, and the National Animal Health Diagnostic Investigation Center, reflecting a "One Health" style approach that connects human, animal, and broader environmental health risks.
The opportunity reflects progress already made through multi-sector planning and investments that began in earnest around 2014. A national roadmap to meet IHR targets was developed with multiple sectors in 2015, and the collaboration is portrayed as producing tangible results, including training more than 500 professionals in field epidemiology, activating a national Public Health Emergency Operations Center during outbreaks, and expanding diagnostic and surveillance capacity. Ethiopia is highlighted as an early mover in global health security monitoring, being the second country to complete a Joint External Evaluation (JEE), and it has also developed a costed National Action Plan for Health Security (NAPHS). EPHI is specifically noted as having led the multi-sector partners through both the JEE and NAPHS processes, positioning it as a central technical and coordinating institution for national preparedness.
The grant's strategic emphasis is organized around four core capacity areas that map closely to IHR readiness: laboratory systems, workforce development, surveillance, and emergency management. In practical terms, this points to activities such as improving laboratory diagnostic capability and quality systems, expanding and strengthening the public health workforce (including field epidemiology and related competencies), enhancing surveillance systems to detect outbreaks and priority diseases earlier and more reliably, and reinforcing emergency management structures so that Ethiopia can coordinate and execute timely responses through mechanisms like emergency operations centers and incident management systems.
Administratively, the funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, which generally indicates substantial involvement by CDC in project planning, technical direction, or monitoring compared with a standard grant. The listing notes an expected number of awards of one, suggesting a single primary recipient/partner arrangement. The eligibility category is listed as "Others" with additional clarification referenced in the full notice. The opportunity was posted June 15, 2020, with an original closing date of August 12, 2020, and applications were due electronically by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the deadline. The award ceiling is shown as 0 in the provided excerpt, which often means the ceiling was not specified in that summary field rather than implying no funding, and would normally require checking the full announcement for the actual budget expectations and funding range.
Overall, the opportunity is aimed at advancing Ethiopia's measurable compliance with IHR capacities by building on established national plans (JEE and NAPHS) and scaling proven interventions across laboratories, surveillance, workforce development, and coordinated emergency response. The emphasis on multi-sector collaboration and national ownership, with EPHI in a leading role, signals that the intended work is not just about isolated technical upgrades, but about strengthening the connected systems that allow a country to detect health threats early and manage them effectively across sectors.Apply for CDC RFA GH20 2112
