Description
Summary:The project will increase participating countries’ capacities in four main areas: 1) risk communication and crisis communication, 2) prevention and control of ASF and other swine hemorrhagic diseases, with special attention to emergency response plans, 3) capacity building in health surveillance, and 4) Strengthening inter-agency work (public-public and public-private strategic work). The three general sequential steps are the identification of the main needs; provision of training, workshops, subject matter expertise, and follow-up; and the application of the knowledge in the field to the priority countries, delivering communication plans, emergency response plans, health work strategies, associated regulations, monitoring, and evaluation. The project will be both regional and national in scope, thereby building capacity and reinforcing and strengthening networks and collaborative work among countries with varied capabilities and contexts.
