Introduction and Project Overview: STRIDES Activity in Jordan
FHI 360, under the Strengthening Infectious Disease Detection Systems (STRIDES) Activity, invites
qualified organizations to submit proposals to support the implementation of Global Health Security
(GHS) activities in Jordan. STRIDES is funded by the U.S. Department of State and builds upon the U.S.
Government's (USG) GHS and other global health investments to enhance diagnostic networks and
surveillance capabilities in partner countries. Through STRIDES, the USG supports life-saving activities
that improve infectious disease detection, surveillance, and data systems for priority diseases that pose
public health risks for outbreaks, while also providing emergency response support when outbreaks
occur. FHI 360 is the prime contractor for the STRIDES Activity.
Infectious diseases remain one of the most serious threats to global health security. In today's
interconnected world, diseases can spread from a remote village to major cities across continents in a
matter of hours. Increased international travel and trade, rapid urbanization, population growth and
movement, and weak health systems heighten the risk of emerging and re-emerging infectious disease
outbreaks, which endanger lives, disrupt economies, and undermine national and global security.
Jordan's extensive refugee population, active trade and travel corridors, and proximity to conflict zones
elevate its vulnerability to emerging infectious diseases, antimicrobial resistance (AMR), and other cross-
border health threats that could rapidly impact U.S. interests and allies. Strengthening Jordan's GHS
capacities directly advances U.S. national security and foreign policy objectives by reinforcing regional
disease surveillance, outbreak response, and biosecurity systems.
The 2016 Joint External Evaluation (JEE) found that Jordan had established or was developing capacities
across most of the 19 technical areas assessed. While Jordan demonstrated significant progress in global
health security, the evaluation identified remaining gaps in multisectoral coordination, surveillance
systems, laboratory capacity, emergency operations, and workforce development.
1

Jordan's GHS agenda has continued to advance, with notable investments in surveillance, laboratory
systems, and emergency preparedness, particularly within the human health sector. During the COVID-
19 pandemic, Jordan benefited from substantial donor support, including USG assistance, which enabled
critical improvements in laboratory capacity for priority pathogens, expansion of sample transportation
networks, strengthening of public health laboratory systems, and enhanced implementation of quality
management systems, biosafety and biosecurity measures, and supply chain resilience. Progress has
also been made in molecular diagnostic capacity, including expanded polymerase chain reaction (PCR)
testing, digital case reporting platforms, and contact tracing systems. However, important gaps remain
in ensuring sustained, integrated, and multisector approaches to health security. AMR surveillance in
particular requires continued strengthening through improved coordination between the human,
animal, and environmental health sectors; harmonized laboratory protocols; enhanced data
management and reporting systems; and strengthened mechanisms for monitoring antimicrobial use
and residues in animals and animal products.
FHI 360 seeks a qualified local organization to provide technical support services in close coordination
with the Government of Jordan, including the Ministry of Health (MOH), the Ministry of Agriculture
(MOA), and the Jordan Center for Disease Control (JCDC), and the STRIDES technical team in Jordan. The
selected organization will work with national and subnational partners to strengthen laboratory drug-
resistance diagnostics, surveillance, and outbreak preparedness and response, contributing to
sustainable, measurable capacity, evidence-based solutions, and local ownership that improve Jordan's
long-term ability to prevent, detect, and respond to infectious disease outbreaks.
Global Health Security (GHS) Objectives
Through this Request for Proposals (RFP), FHI 360 seeks qualified local organizations to implement
technical support and capacity-strengthening activities that contribute to three of the four STRIDES
objectives in Jordan:
1. Strengthen detection capacity and systems at the national and subnational level for both
human and animal laboratory networks and increase access to quality laboratory services for
diseases of public health importance.
2. Develop sustainable surveillance systems, using event-based surveillance (EBS) and indicator-
based surveillance (IBS) systems to detect events of significance for public health and health
security.
3. Strengthen host country capacity in data collection, analysis, and reporting for actionable
disease prevention and response decision-making (out of scope for this RFP).
4. Provide targeted technical and detection assistance during an outbreak.
Offerors may propose implementing one or more of Objectives 1, 2, and 4 based on their technical
expertise, institutional capacity, and ability to operate effectively within Jordan's context. FHI 360 may
award one or more subcontracts to offerors demonstrating strong alignment with STRIDES' technical
priorities, the Government of Jordan's health security objectives, and a multisector, systems-
strengthening approach.
By addressing critical gaps in laboratory systems, drug-resistance surveillance, multisector coordination,
and emergency preparedness and response, STRIDES will support Jordan to build a resilient, quality-
assured health security framework.
Technical Description of the Work to Be Performed: STRIDES Scope of Work
This subcontract addresses the following critical cross-sectoral and subnational constraints. Proposals
should clearly articulate how activities build on, and do not duplicate, previous and ongoing USG
investments.
2

A. Fragmented Laboratory Systems and Non-Standardized Laboratory AMR SOPs
* The 2023 Jordan AMR Surveillance Report documents high levels of resistance to critically
important antimicrobials among priority pathogens, underscoring the need for a coordinated,
multisector health response.
* While the MOH has adopted the National Action Plan on Antimicrobial Resistance (2023 to
2025), implementation has been uneven, particularly across sectors beyond human health.
* Drug-resistance standard operating procedures (SOPs) are not yet harmonized across human
and animal health laboratories.
B. Gaps in Cross-Sectoral Outbreak Preparedness and Response
* Subnational diagnostic and surveillance capacities are not fully integrated with operational
preparedness at Points of Entry (PoEs), limiting the timely detection, reporting, and response to
public health threats.
* The absence of standardized, competency-based operational frameworks for PoEs constrains
coordinated multisector response to high-consequence infectious disease (HCID) threats.
C. Vulnerabilities at the Animal and Human Health Interface
* Subnational veterinary response capacities within the MOA lack standardized, competency-
based operational frameworks and adequately trained personnel to detect, investigate, and
respond to zoonotic disease outbreaks.
* Targeted technical assistance is required to develop standardized response protocols and
deliver competency-based training that enhances surveillance, outbreak investigation,
reporting, and rapid response capacities.
D. Gaps in Multisector Health Security Coordination and Governance
* While Jordan has established institutional capacities and coordination mechanisms for managing
public health threats, further strengthening is needed to ensure sustained, structured, and
operational collaboration across human health, animal health, environmental sectors, and
national response entities.
* Targeted technical assistance is needed to enhance coordination frameworks, operationalize
cross-sectoral collaboration, and strengthen preparedness through joint planning, training, and
simulation exercises.
Implementation shall be guided by the principles of national ownership, sustainability, cross-sectoral
collaboration, quality assurance, and evidence-based decision-making. Technical Working Groups and
existing national coordination platforms may be used, where appropriate, to provide technical
oversight, facilitate multisector collaboration, and promote harmonization with complementary
initiatives.
Technical Management Model
STRIDES will maintain overall responsibility for contractual management, donor compliance, financial
oversight, quality assurance, and approval of all technical deliverables. Overall technical and contractual
oversight will be managed by the STRIDES team in Jordan, with the STRIDES Associate Technical Director
