The United States Agency for International Development (USAID) Bureau for Humanitarian Assistance (BHA) is seeking applications from qualified entities to implement the Augmenting Humanitarian Capacity for Infectious Disease Emergencies with Epidemic or Pandemic Potential program.

  • Strengthen local and international organizations’ operational capacity to rapidly respond to future ID outbreaks of epidemic or pandemic potential that are in or become
    humanitarian. This would include augmenting internal systems to scale up quickly and launch a multi-sectoral integrated response.

  • Review current technical resources and develop new common support tools/capacities /technical resources as needed to support an integrated multi-sectoral response for ID outbreaks of epidemic or pandemic potential that are in or become humanitarian, and where appropriate, an integrated humanitarian-ID response.
