Opportunity Information: Apply for CDC RFA GH20 2102
The grant opportunity titled "Tanzania Presidents Office Regional Administration and Local Government (PORALG) Building Capacity for the Sub-national Implementation of the National Action Plan for Health Security (NAPHS)" is a CDC-funded cooperative agreement (Funding Opportunity Number: CDC RFA GH20-2102; CFDA 93.318) designed to strengthen Tanzania's ability to carry out its National Action Plan for Health Security at regional and local levels. Administered by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services through the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (Center for Global Health), the opportunity is structured around a close partnership with PORALG, the government entity responsible for translating national health security policies and strategies into real-world action across sub-national systems.
At its core, the opportunity supports work that advances the Global Health Security Agenda (GHSA) by building practical capacity where public health functions are often most stretched: districts, regions, and local government authorities. PORALG plays a central coordinating role in the provision and development of health services by working through Regional Secretariats and Local Government Authorities, and the grant aligns with that mandate by emphasizing implementation, monitoring, evaluation, and day-to-day operationalization of health security guidelines and strategies. In other words, the focus is not on writing plans, but on making existing plans function consistently and measurably across the country, especially in areas considered high risk.
The program is organized around three main strategic aims that mirror standard health security frameworks: preventing avoidable epidemics, detecting threats early, and responding rapidly and effectively to public health events of concern. "Prevent" activities typically involve strengthening the systems and practices that reduce outbreak risk in the first place, including better coordination, preparedness planning, and routine implementation of health security measures. "Detect" emphasizes earlier identification of emerging threats through stronger surveillance, improved reporting, and more reliable information flows. "Respond" focuses on the ability to act quickly and in a coordinated way when an event occurs, which often requires clear roles, tested procedures, trained personnel, and functional communication channels between levels of government and across sectors.
A notable feature of this opportunity is its explicit push for multisectoral engagement, including coordination between human and animal health stakeholders in high-risk districts, reflecting the reality that many significant outbreaks have zoonotic origins and require a One Health style response. The NOFO highlights practical actions such as improving the sharing of best practices between sub-national units, using relevant tools that promote health security implementation, strengthening accountability and transparency around data sharing, and participating in regional and national health security initiatives. These elements point to a systems-building approach: not only helping districts do better work individually, but also helping them learn from each other, adopt consistent methods, and contribute data that national leaders can use to make timely decisions.
The intended outcomes are centered on measurable capacity improvements that enable Tanzania to prevent, detect, and respond to health security threats more effectively, while also strengthening local leadership and ownership of NAPHS implementation. Rather than positioning health security as solely a national responsibility, the opportunity emphasizes building sub-national capability so that regions and districts can lead implementation in a sustainable way. The work is also framed as aligned with the GHSA 2024 Framework, reinforcing that the capacity being built is meant to be consistent with internationally recognized health security objectives and measurement approaches.
From an administrative standpoint, the opportunity is categorized as discretionary funding and uses a cooperative agreement mechanism, which typically implies substantial involvement and collaboration with the funding agency during implementation. The expected number of awards is one, with an original application closing date of July 7, 2020 (applications due by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time). The listing shows an award ceiling of 0, which generally indicates that the ceiling was not specified in the summary field or was to be defined elsewhere in the full announcement.
