Strengthening global health security through local partnerships in Uganda

The purpose of this Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) is to continue strengthening Uganda's capacities for rapid detection and effective and efficient response to health threats. The focus of this NOFO is based on gaps outlined by the 2023 Joint External Evaluation of Uganda's Global Health Security capacities, including but not limited to surveillance, laboratory, rapid response, and countermeasures for priority human and zoonotic diseases. The project aims to support national legislation for, and operationalization of functional, real-time funding for health emergencies, establishing a national border health program, and rolling out a functional electronic platform expanding the National Integrated Surveillance System (NISS). Key aspects of the project include: • Strengthening Uganda's health security capacities • Improving rapid detection and response to health threats • Supporting national legislation and operationalization of functional funding for health emergencies • Establishing a national border health program • Expanding the National Integrated Surveillance System (NISS)
