The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is offering this grant to bolster Vietnam’s public health capacity. This initiative builds on a long-standing partnership with the Government of Vietnam, which aims for compliance with International Health Regulations (IHR 2005) following a 2016 Joint External Evaluation. The grant’s primary purpose is to empower four key Public Health Institutes—NIHE, PI-HCMC, PINT, and TIHE—to effectively implement World Health Organization (WHO) essential public health functions. Key areas of focus include supporting Global Health Security Agenda (GHSA) action packages for preventing, detecting, and rapidly responding to epidemics, alongside developing additional cross-cutting public health programs at the regional level. This grant is crucial for enhancing Vietnam’s health security infrastructure.

Key components include support for GHSA focus areas, including preventing avoidable epidemics, early detection of threats, and rapid and effective response; and support for additional programs performing cross-cutting public health functions at the regional level.
