Partnering with Regional Institutes to Strengthen Essential Public Health Functions in Vietnam: The purpose of this funding opportunity announcement (FOA) is to strengthen capabilities of four Regional Institutes of Vietnam to execute essential public health functions. This FOA aligns with and supports Global Health Security, Global Health Initiative[1] and PEPFAR sustainability and country ownership[2] continuum investments in public health systems, health policies, and public health workforce development. Key components include (A) support for Global Health Security Agenda focus areas, including preventing avoidable epidemics, early detection of threats, and rapid and effective response; and (B) support for HIV/AIDS, flu, and other priority disease control programs; and (C) support for departments performing cross-cutting public health functions at the regional institutes through technical assistance. Activities supported through this FOA will enhance the capacity of regional institutes to assess and assure the health of the people of Vietnam through the provision of essential public health services.[1] Global Health Initiative: Uganda: A Strategy for Accelerating Reductions in Maternal and Neonatal Mortality (2011), available at: http://www.ghi.gov/whereWeWork/docs/UgandaStrategy.pdf.[2] PEPFAR Sustainability Planning Guidance Document: Advancing Country Ownership in PEPFAR III, available at: http://www.pepfar.gov/documents/organization/217767.pdf.
