USAID’s broad-based and multi-sectoral approach allows the Agency to leverage the Bureau for Global Health’s Office of Infectious Disease technical expertise to strengthen local capacity worldwide to prevent, detect, and respond to infectious disease threats.
USAID has established partnerships across the U.S. Government (USG) and with relevant international, non-governmental, and other organizations to strengthen preparedness efforts for potential disease outbreaks that could require a global emergency response.
