The United States Agency for International Development (USAID) invitesorganizations working on the prevention, detection, and response

of infectiousdisease threats to participate in one of two pre-application conferences beingorganized by USAID’s Emerging Threats Division that will be held on November29, 2018, in Washington, DC, and on December 7, 2018, in London, UK.

At thesemeetings, USAID plans to discuss a Request for Information (RFI) that isanticipated to be released in approximately 30 days from this publication inorder to solicit feedback from a broad range of stakeholders, including thehigher education community, on a planned activity to equip current and futureworkforces with the multisectoral skills and competencies required to addressinfectious disease threats.

Addressinginfectious disease threats requires workforces that not only have the technicalskills and competencies to function within their own discipline and sector, butalso possess the skills to effectively and sustainably work across sectors anddisciplines.

USAID has invested fornearly a decade in the development of two regional OH university networks inAfrica and Southeast Asia that are committed to transforming health workforcesto function more effectively and across sectors:
One Health Central and EastAfrica (OHCEA), which is based in Kampala, Uganda, and Southeast Asian OneHealth University Network (SEAOHUN), which is based in Chiangmai, Thailand.These networks are comprised of 144 schoolsand faculties in 84 universities across 12 countries.

Under OHW NextGeneration, USAID plans to build on this investment by strengthening theorganizational capacity of these two networks to use assessments ofmultisectoral workforce capacity to inform the design and adaptation oftraining and educational offerings, develop and deliver educational offeringsin alignment with prioritized One Health core competencies and technicalskills, and acquire and manage direct donor funding.

Onecooperative agreement will be awarded to a qualified higher educationinstitution that will represent a coalition of universities and other publicand private sector organizations that will work with OHCEA and SEAOHUN, asbeneficiary institutions.
