Description:
Invitation: Pre-Application Conference (Amendment 5)
Purpose:
1) Upload pre-application conference presentations, questions and answers, and list of participants
Dear International Development Community:
The United States Agency for International Development (USAID) invited organizations working on the prevention, detection, and response of infectious disease threats to participate in the pre-application conference organized by USAID’s Emerging Threats Division held on November 29, 2018, in Washington, DC. A call-in line was also available for Washington's conference.
This amendment provides a copy of the PowerPoint presentations presented in the conference, questions and answers, and the list of participants.
At the meeting in Washington, D.C., USAID discussed a Request for Information (RFI) provided as Annex 1 soliciting feedback from a broad range of stakeholders, including the higher education community, on a planned activity to equip current and future workforces with the multisectoral skills and competencies required to address infectious disease threats.
The RFI (Appendix 1) was posted for the following purposes:
1) To obtain feedback on questions pertinent to the RFI (Appendix 1)
2) To provide industry and stakeholders an opportunity to review, comment and provide suggestions for improvement or clarification of the DRAFT Program Description for One Health Workforce Next Generation activity (Appendix 2)
The comments to the Program Descriptions will not be shared; however, questions and responses as result to this RFI are made public with this amendment.
Addressing infectious disease threats requires workforces that not only have the technical skills and competencies to function within their own discipline and sector, but also possess the skills to effectively and sustainably work across sectors and disciplines. USAID has invested for nearly a decade in the development of two regional OH university networks in Africa and Southeast Asia that are committed to transforming health workforces to function more effectively and across sectors: One Health Central and East Africa (OHCEA), which is based in Kampala, Uganda, and Southeast Asian One Health University Network (SEAOHUN), which is based in Chiangmai, Thailand. These networks are comprised of 144 schools and faculties in 84 universities across 12 countries. Under OHW Next Generation, USAID plans to build on this investment by strengthening the organizational capacity of these two networks to use assessments of multisectoral workforce capacity to inform the design and adaptation of training and educational offerings, develop and deliver educational offerings in alignment with prioritized One Health core competencies and technical skills, and acquire and manage direct donor funding.
One cooperative agreement will be awarded to a qualified higher education institution that will represent a coalition of universities and other public and private sector organizations that will work with OHCEA and SEAOHUN, as beneficiary institutions. More information on eligibility can be found under the “Eligibility” section of this Synopsis.
Thank you for your interest in USAID’s Emerging Threats Programming.
