Description de la structure

Unit: Preparedness, Readiness and Core Capacity Building
Department: Country Health Emergency Preparedness and IHR

The International Health Regulations (IHR) are a legally binding agreement revised in 2005 and endorsed by 196 countries (IHR State Parties). Through the IHR, State Parties obliged themselves to develop, strengthen and maintain a set of minimum core capacities for surveillance and response at all levels of the country.

The unit is therefore supporting Member States in achieving the International Health Regulations (2005) core capacities for surveillance and response.

The proposed consultancy contract is aiming at providing direct support to Member States in achieving their IHR core capacities for public health surveillance, and in developing generic guidance and tools in doing so, especially for the prioritization of diseases and conditions of immediate and weekly interest for the surveillance system.
