Synopsis

This NOFO seeks to build and sustain a more resilient public health system in Ghana capable of identifying, responding to and mitigating public health threats. CDC, through this NOFO, will continue to leverage and complement the strengths and resources of multi-sectoral and multilateral partners in Ghana to build and improve country capacity and leadership in the prevention, early detection and response to infectious disease threats.
