U.S. Department of State (DOS) Bureau of Global Health Security and Diplomacy (GHSD) Advancing Global Health

Program Description

The purpose of this program is to save lives, strengthen health systems, enhance efficiency, foster self-reliance, and ensure U.S. investments benefit American safety, strength, and prosperity. As part of the America First Global Health Strategy, the Department of State is entering into bilateral Memoranda of Understanding (MOUs) with partner governments to define shared priorities, establish mutual commitments, and achieve concrete health outcomes while advancing country self-reliance in national health programs. The Advancing Global Health (AGH) APS provides a mechanism to solicit and support projects to complement existing activities and new government-to-government (G2G) agreements, including where targeted technical, operational, or catalytic support is needed to address gaps, sequencing challenges, or transitional needs in MOU implementation.
