    The U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) is seeking local Nigerian organizations to submit concepts for two Global Health Security (GHS) activities outlined in the Partnerships for Progress Annual Program Statement. The funding focuses on improving Nigeria's capability to prevent, detect, and respond to public health threats, aligning with the Nigerian government's health sector plan. The two activities include: 1. **Global Health Security Coordination and Response Activity** - with a funding cap of $12.5 million, aimed at enhancing epidemic response and health governance. 2. **Global Health Security Capacities Strengthening Activity** - with up to $20 million in funding, focusing on combating antimicrobial resistance, improving laboratory systems, and biosafety. Eligible organizations must demonstrate local ownership and can apply for either or both activities, submitting separate applications. The process consists of two phases: initial concept submissions followed by selected oral presentations, and later, a full application phase for the most qualified applicants. USAID emphasizes the importance of collaboration with existing health programs and governmental agencies. Specific eligibility criteria, submission formats, and detailed procedures are outlined for potential applicants. The opportunity reflects USAID's commitment to bolstering health security in Nigeria through strategic partnerships and targeted investments.
