within the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), announces the

approximately $20,000,000 over a 5-year period, to the Pan American
Health Organization (PAHO). The award will continue support to PAHO in
developing and implementing coordinated national and regional public
health programs in the Americas that are consistent with the World
Health Organization's International Health Regulations (IHR) strategies
and the CDC global health priorities for improving infectious disease
surveillance and response, building public health infrastructure and
systems, sharing knowledge, tools and other resources in support of
applied epidemiology, and developing improved prevention and control
strategies for infectious disease, such as arboviruses, coronaviruses,
chikungunya, dengue, yellow fever, Zika, HIV, poxviruses, foodborne,

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Amanda (Amy) Pullman, National Center
for Emerging and Zoonotic Infectious Diseases (NCEZID), Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention, 1600 Clifton Road NE, MS H24-11,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The single-source award will assist Pan
American Health Organization (PAHO) in the development and
implementation of coordinated plans and networks that enable national
governments and regional authorities in the Americas to implement IHR
and better address infectious diseases, particularly emerging
infections. Measurable

outcomes of the program will be in alignment with CDC/NCEZID strategies
to strengthen and enhance the national capacity of countries in the
Americas to detect, verify, assess, and respond to outbreaks and other
public health emergencies of national and international concern
(PHEICs).
The PAHO is in a unique position to conduct this work, as it was
established in 1902 by President Theodore Roosevelt and more than three
decades before the United Nations and the World Health Organization
(WHO) as an international public health agency that works with the
countries of the Americas to improve the health and quality of life of
their populations. PAHO is the Regional Office for the Americas of the
WHO as part of the United Nations system. PAHO's formal treaty
relationships with all the ministries of health in the Americas make it
the only organization that can carry out fully the proposed activities.
WHO and its Regional Offices (including PAHO) are at the apex of global
public health organizations and thus have an exclusive status as the
United States government's key partners for global public health. The
International Health Regulations (IHR 2005) is an international
agreement that requires WHO Member States to prevent and respond to
acute public health risks that have the potential to cross borders and
threaten people worldwide.
Summary of the Award
Recipient: Pan American Health Organization (PAHO).
Purpose of the Award: The purpose of this award is to continue
support to PAHO in developing and implementing coordinated national and
regional public health programs in the Americas that are consistent
with the World Health Organization's International Health Regulations
(IHR) strategies and the CDC global health priorities, and better
address infectious diseases, particularly emerging infections.
Strategies and activities include strengthening and enhancing the
national capacity of countries in the Americas to detect, verify,
assess, and respond to outbreaks, including arboviruses, coronaviruses,
chikungunya, dengue, yellow fever, Zika, HIV, poxviruses, foodborne,
antimicrobial resistant and healthcare facility-acquired infectious
diseases, and other public health emergencies of national and
international concern (PHEICs).
Amount of Award: $4,000,000 in Federal Fiscal Year (FFY) 2023
funds, with a total estimated $20,000,000 for the 5-year period of
