Protecting and Improving Global Health Security by Engaging Local Partners: Strengthening and Sustaining Public Health Systems in Ghana

The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has issued a funding opportunity, CDC-RFA-JG-26-0047, to strengthen public health systems in Ghana under a cooperative agreement. The notice describes an aim to build a more resilient health system capable of identifying, responding to and mitigating public health threats, continuing work with multi-sectoral and multilateral partners in the country. It builds on earlier CDC-funded activities in laboratory capacity, surveillance, emergency response and workforce development, and extends support to surveillance and laboratory capacity in border districts and to sequencing and bioinformatics. The stated goals are improved prevention of avoidable epidemics, earlier detection of disease threats, and faster, more effective response. The notice lists no funding amount, and eligibility criteria are stated as not applicable in the source fields. Organizations working in health security, laboratory systems, surveillance or emergency response in Ghana, or partners of CDC in the region, may wish to review the full opportunity before the October 2, 2026 closing date.
