GID Global Partners
The scope and intensity of global health challenges ensures that no single country or agency can work alone to meet them. To contribute to shared global health objectives, CDC works in close partnership with a wide array of international agencies and institutions to shape global health policies and to fund, implement, and evaluate programs. CDC partners with international and multinational organizations, other federal agencies within the U.S. Government, private foundations, universities, and global health organizations.
