DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
Notice of Award of a Single-Source Cooperative Agreement To Fund
the United Nations Children's Fund
AGENCY: Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Department of
Health and Human Services (HHS).
ACTION: Notice.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), located
within the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), announces the
award of approximately $36,000,000 for Year 1 funding to the United
Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF). The award will provide support and
vaccines for supplemental immunization activities (SIAs) as well as
support towards strengthening of routine immunization delivery systems
and capacities in developing countries to achieve global targets for
vaccine-preventable disease (VPD) eradication, elimination, and
reduction. Funding amounts for years 2-5 will be set at continuation.
DATES: The period for this award will be 7/1/2023 through 6/30/2028.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mary A. Mulholland, Center for Global
Health, Global Immunization Division, Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention, 1600 Clifton Rd. NE, Atlanta, GA 30333, Telephone: 404-553-
7371, Email: <a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#96fbfbe3fafef9fafaf7f8f2d6f5f2f5b8f1f9e0"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="462b2b332a2e292a2a2728220625222568212930">[email protected]</span></a>.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The single-source award will support UNICEF
in collaboration with partners to sustain and strengthen global,
regional and national immunization program capacity needed to achieve
the globally agreed-upon goals of the Immunization Agenda 2030
(IA2030), including polio eradication, elimination targets for measles,
rubella and neonatal tetanus, and national and subnational vaccination
targets; achieve the 2030 Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) to end
vaccine-preventable deaths among children under 5 years of age; reduce
chronic disease and cancer deaths from VPDs; and prevent, detect and
respond to VPD outbreaks.
UNICEF is in a unique position to conduct this work, as it has a
unique role in the global immunization partnership as the world's
largest purchaser of childhood vaccines and has the primary
responsibility for providing countries with access to high-quality,
affordable vaccines through their procurement systems and distribution
networks. UNICEF has additional roles, including a global mandate to
lead on social mobilization, community engagement, and other health
communication activities. This agreement will expand on collaborative
work to detect and respond to vaccine hesitance and threats to
resilience of demand for vaccines that contribute to the gap between
current global achievements and global targets.
Summary of the Award
Recipient: United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF).
Purpose of the Award: The purpose of this award is to support
UNICEF's efforts to support polio eradication, maternal and neonatal
tetanus elimination, and regional measles and rubella elimination;
planning and implementation of, and demand for, supplemental
immunization campaigns; and strengthening of immunization systems and
capacity in developing countries, in line with CDC's Global
Immunization Strategic Framework (GISF.)
Amount of Award: The approximate year 1 funding amount will be
$36,000,000 in Federal Fiscal Year (FYY) 2023 funds, subject to the
availability of funds. Funding amounts for years 2-5 will be set at
continuation.
