Opportunity Information: Apply for CDC RFA GH20 2092
The Global Health Security Partnership Engagement: Expanding Efforts and Strategies to Protect and Improve Public Health in Cameroon opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number CDC RFA GH20-2092) is a CDC discretionary cooperative agreement designed to strengthen Cameroon's ability to prevent, detect, and respond to public health threats. The overall focus is global health security, with an emphasis on building practical, sustainable capacity through partnerships with health organizations and coordinated work across sectors. In plain terms, the funding is meant to help Cameroon improve how it prepares for outbreaks and emergencies, how quickly it identifies threats, and how effectively it manages response efforts when health events occur.
A central theme of the program is multi-sectoral engagement, meaning the work is expected to bring together human health and animal health partners and operate at multiple levels of the system (national, regional, and local). This reflects the reality that many high-impact outbreaks can emerge at the human-animal interface and that strong public health performance depends on coordinated systems rather than isolated projects. The supported activities are intended to contribute to stronger health systems and the workforce, better surveillance and information flow, and improved preparedness and readiness for outbreaks, public health emergencies, and other health security threats.
The NOFO is structured around three strategic areas that align with widely used global health security frameworks: preventing avoidable epidemics, detecting threats early, and responding rapidly and effectively to events of concern. Prevention includes strengthening systems that reduce the likelihood of outbreaks or limit their spread, such as better planning, risk reduction practices, and capacity-building that stops threats before they become crises. Early detection focuses on surveillance and the ability to find signals of emerging problems quickly and reliably, including laboratory and reporting functions that can confirm and communicate risks. Rapid, effective response covers readiness and operational capability to manage incidents, including coordination mechanisms, emergency response structures, and practices that support quick decision-making and action.
The CDC also emphasizes alignment with the International Health Regulations (IHR 2005) core capacities and with Global Health Security Agenda (GHSA) technical areas, using these as organizing frameworks for measurable progress. The announcement highlights that CDC intends to leverage resources to promote national initiatives and frameworks that support IHR capacities, reduce bio-threats, and encourage the use of relevant tools that improve health security performance. It also points to improving the sharing of best practices, strengthening accountability and transparency in data sharing, and participating in regional and international health security initiatives. Taken together, this signals an expectation that awardees will not only run activities on the ground, but also help strengthen governance, coordination, and data practices that support sustained performance and credible reporting.
The expected outcomes are framed in capacity terms rather than narrow deliverables. The program aims to measurably strengthen Cameroon's abilities to prevent, detect, and respond to potential public health and health security events. A key benchmark included in the opportunity is demonstrating improvement in at least five GHSA/IHR technical areas to a level described as "Demonstrated Capacity," using recognized health security assessment approaches such as the WHO IHR Monitoring and Evaluation Framework. This implies that applicants should be prepared to select and target specific technical areas, establish baselines, implement capacity-building interventions, and document progress with assessment-aligned indicators and evidence.
Administratively, this is a cooperative agreement, which usually means CDC expects substantial involvement during implementation, such as collaboration on planning, technical direction, monitoring, and coordination with broader CDC and partner initiatives. The NOFO lists an anticipated three awards. The eligible applicant pool is broad and includes various levels of government, public and private higher education institutions, nonprofit organizations (both 501(c)(3) and non-501(c)(3)), for-profit organizations (including small businesses), tribal entities, and other eligible entities as clarified in the full eligibility text. The opportunity was created on February 8, 2020, with an original closing date of April 7, 2020, and it required electronic submission by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the due date. The award ceiling is listed as 0 in the source data, which typically indicates that a specific maximum was not provided in that field and would need to be confirmed in the full announcement or related budget guidance.
Overall, this funding opportunity is aimed at building durable, measurable health security capacity in Cameroon through coordinated partnerships and system-strengthening work. It prioritizes progress that can be demonstrated through internationally recognized assessment frameworks, with practical emphasis on surveillance, preparedness, readiness, and rapid response functions that reduce the human and economic impact of outbreaks and other public health emergencies.Apply for CDC RFA GH20 2092
