## Objectives

The goal is to fund nongovernmental organizations with demonstrated capability, expertise, resources, national reach, and track record to strengthen governmental public health system’s infrastructure and core services through provision of capacity building assistance (CBA). CBA is defined as activities that strengthen and maintain the infrastructure and resources necessary to sustain or improve system, organizational, community, or individual processes and competencies. CBA activities will focus on seven strategies: 1) health systems infrastructure; 2) leadership and workforce; 3) data and information systems; 4) communication and information technology; 5) partnerships; 6) laws, including statutes and regulations, and policies; and, 7) programs and services. In the long-term, the CBA provided will help improve public health capacities and capabilities that ensure a current, competent, and connected public health system, and enable delivery of the 10 essential services.
