Overview
The U.S. Agency for International Development’s (USAID) comprehensive, cross-sectoral approach to handling infectious disease outbreaks enables the Agency to provide timely, targeted support and strengthen local capacity when requested by partner-country governments. By leveraging USAID’s well-established partnerships with the U.S. Government (USG) interagency and international, nongovernmental, and other organizations, the Agency is able to quickly mobilize and deploy resources effectively during outbreaks that exceed a country’s capabilities and may also require an international emergency response.
