Support Ethiopia's Capacity to Meet International Health Regulations Requirements
Agency: Centers for Disease Control-GHC
Assistance Listings: 93.318 -- Protecting and Improving Health Globally: Building and Strengthening Public Health Impact, Systems, Capacity and Security
Description
The CDC office in Ethiopia was established in 2001 and works closely with the Ministry of Health (MOH), the Ethiopian Public Health Institute (EPHI), and other Government of Ethiopia (GOE) agencies to develop the capacity to prevent, detect, and respond to priority diseases. In 2014, CDC began coordination with the GOE to build Ethiopia's capacity to achieve the International Health Regulation (IHR) targets through implementing the Global Health Security Agenda. The initial road map was developed with multi-sector partners in 2015, and the multi-sector collaboration is proving successful with over 500 trained in field epidemiology, a national public health emergency operations center activated for outbreaks and expanding diagnostic and surveillance capacity. In 2020, CDC has continued to support and advance GOE's ability to detect, respond and manage multiple concurrent outbreaks that plague Ethiopia on a yearly basis through the collaboration of multiple implementing partners including EPHI. CDC will continue to empower the GOE to strengthen their response efforts to public health emergencies by building on the 2020-2025 projects focused on CDC's Global Health Security Framework. The strategic focus areas of CDC's work to achieve Ethiopia's IHR compliance are the following: (1) Laboratory, (2) Workforce Development, (3) Surveillance, (4) Emergency Response and Management, (5) Antimicrobial Resistance (6) Immunization, (7) Health Information System Strengthening.
