Sustaining Global Health Security to protect and improve public health in Kenya

This federal document from the Division of Global Health Protection (DGHP) outlines the FY 2026 Standard Partner-Level Indicators used for Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E). Designed for federal grant and cooperative agreement recipients, these indicators must be integrated into each recipient’s Evaluation & Performance Measurement Plan (EPMP) to track progress and performance. The document establishes a menu of standardized metrics across eight core public health technical areas: 1. **Infection Prevention and Control (IPC):** Tracks facility-level IPC focal points and guideline-based improvements. 2. **Border Health (BH):** Evaluates point of entry capacities, multi-sectoral standard operating procedures, personnel training, and cross-border coordination. 3. **Community Mitigation:** Measures risk mitigation strategies and public engagement. 4. **Emergency Operations and Response:** Monitors Emergency Operations Center (EOC) activation, Rapid Response Team (RRT) deployment, and risk communication strategies. 5. **Laboratory Diagnostics:** Evaluates biosafety training, quality assurance programs, proficiency testing, and last-mile procurement logistics. 6. **Surveillance and Epidemiology:** Assesses respiratory disease surveillance, data management, and One Health collaborative training. 7. **Vaccines:** Focuses on evaluating immunization programs and campaigns. 8. **Field Epidemiology Training Programs (FETP):** Tracks curriculum integration and emergency management competencies. Recipients will receive a comprehensive indicator menu with detailed descriptions at the time of award. Performance reporting requirements will align with the specific Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) activities, with progress reviewed during regular technical calls and joint strategic meetings.

This federal document outlines the Division of Global Health Protection (DGHP) Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E) Standard Partner-Level Indicators for Fiscal Year 2026. Designed for integration into a recipient’s Evaluation & Performance Measurement Plan (EPMP) under CDC-funded awards, this indicator menu serves as a framework to measure and track the performance of international public health interventions. The indicators are organized across eight core technical areas: 1. **Infection Prevention and Control (IPC):** Focuses on facility-level IPC improvements, staffing, and participation in detection networks. 2. **Border Health (BH):** Evaluates point of entry (POE) capacities, standard operating procedures, traveler screening, risk communication, and cross-border coordination. 3. **Community Mitigation:** Measures tailored risk mitigation strategies and frontline worker training. 4. **Emergency Operations and Response:** Tracks emergency management systems integration, Rapid Response Team (RRT) readiness, and Public Health Emergency Operations Center (PHEOC) capabilities. 5. **Laboratory Diagnostics:** Assesses biosafety training, quality assurance/proficiency testing, and specimen referral networks. 6. **Surveillance and Epidemiology:** Monitors respiratory disease surveillance platforms, data sharing, and One Health training. 7. **Vaccines:** Evaluates immunization program and campaign effectiveness. 8. **Field Epidemiology Training Programs (FETP):** Measures workforce curriculum integration and emergency competency. Award recipients must incorporate these standard metrics to align with their specific Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) activities. Performance data will be monitored through regular technical calls, progress reports, and joint strategic reviews.
