Over the last 6 years the Global Outbreak Alert and Response Network (GOARN) training programme has expanded and evolved to meet the changing outbreak response learning and training needs, with many lessons learned along the way. With a new GOARN Strategy being released in late 2022, there was a need for the GOARN Capacity Building and Training Partners to come together in August 2022 to explore the priority global public health emergency workforce development needs and how the GOARN Capacity Building and Training Programme can be best used to support the workforce development efforts. The meeting report presents the discussions and agreements made by the 29 participating GOARN Partner Institutions which will be used to the inform the Capacity Building and Training elements of the new GOARN strategy and subsequent implementation plan for the coming years for the GOARN capacity building and training programme to help build the required workforce for public health emergencies.
This document outlines the recommendations/considerations for the GOARN Strategy 2022-2026. Strategy recommendations were developed to shape and define the future directions of the Network through an extensive strategy development process involving interviews with key stakeholders, a survey to GOARN partners, scenario-building workshops, a strategic workshop at the GOARN Global Meeting of Partners, regional consultations with regional focal points and partners, and meetings/workshops with Steering Committee Members to refine and finalize. The Strategy document will be implemented by the GOARN Steering Committee and GOARN partners.
The GOARN 2022–2026 Strategy Implementation Plan is a derivative product which follows the GOARN 2022-2026 Strategy. The Implementation Plan is intended to define and present, in a systematic manner and in alignment with GOARN’s areas of work, how the Strategy will be implemented. The Implementation Plan outlines the activities which contribute to GOARN projects and areas of work, and provides timelines for how these will be implemented through to the end of the Strategy.
The National outbreak response handbook by the Global Outbreak Alert and Response Network (GOARN) provides national public health agencies, ministries of health and partners with practical guidance as they respond to outbreaks in their country or territory. The Handbook can be used to inform outbreak preparedness and response plans at the national and subnational levels, including to ensure complementarity with existing national outbreak response plans. It summarizes effective organizational structures that can be implemented during national outbreak response, highlights best practices based on GOARN partners’ collective experiences, and references key technical and operational resources that have been developed by GOARN and its partners. This version (2024) of Handbook has been developed following extensive consultation across multidisciplinary GOARN partners and WHO technical teams, including collective response experiences. It is accompanied by an online portal version on the GOARN Knowledge Platform.
This document elaborates on the strategic grouping approach adopted by the Global Outbreak Alert and Response Network (GOARN), focusing on its conceptual and operational aspects. The strategic grouping approach refers to convening partners to work together on mutual technical interests towards strategic goals, and to strengthen collaboration and coordination, promote participation and to deliver common priority Network activities. It is an approach that provides guidance and opportunities for partners to help them better engage in GOARN’s activities at the national and regional levels.
This document enhances the accountability, transparency and efficiency of GOARN, thereby ensuring that responses can occur and be coordinated rapidly in times of need. By setting out terms of reference and decision-making structures, the framework assists partners and stakeholders in making informed decisions and taking effective coordinated action. The GOARN Governance Framework is a significant achievement in defining the way we work together as a global network, and it will continue to evolve as we strive to provide the best technical support to the communities we serve.
An accessible and diverse resource for infectious disease outbreak response. For too long, the theory and practice of infectious disease outbreak response have been the domain of a small number of experienced responders. The COVID-19 pandemic brought global attention to the requirements of effective outbreak response, and the need for preparation across the key pillars. Decisionmakers, early career practitioners, and those in the field now have access to a comprehensive text that brings together evidence-based and practical insights from the best in the business. Dale Fisher, Professor of Medicine at the National University of Singapore, was chair of WHO's Global Outbreak Alert and Response Network before and during most of the pandemic. In this massive collaborative effort, he marshals nearly one hundred top public health leaders and experts from the front lines to present thirty-seven chapters on pandemic preparedness and response, drawing heavily on experiences from COVID-19, but also from Ebola, MERS, SARS-1, influenza, and other outbreaks of modern times. The contributors include experts from health ministries and Centres for Disease Control and national public health institutions around the world; from international organizations like the WHO, MSF, IFRC, and UNICEF; and research institutions and various NGOs from dozens of countries, adding to the diversity and richness of the descriptions.
The 2006 World Health Report focuses on the chronic shortages of doctors, midwives, nurses and other health care support workers in the poorest countries of the world where they are most needed. This is particularly true in sub-Saharan Africa, which has only four in every hundred global health workers but has a quarter of the global burden of disease, and less than one per cent of the world's financial resources. Poor working conditions, high rates of attrition due to illness and migration, and education systems that are unable to pick up the slack reflect the depth of the challenges in these crisis countries. This report considers the challenges involved and sets out a 10-year action plan designed to tackle the crisis over the next ten years, by which countries can strengthen their health system by building their health workforces and institutional capacity with the support of global partners.
This timely new textbook lays bare the ways in which disease and disaster can turn politicians into global leaders or national liabilities. It explains the impact of crises on development and human security and explores how states and societies can respond more effectively. Written primarily for the student of politics, but also drawing from public health, public policy, and environmental studies, the book investigates the threats posed by disease and disasters, and demonstrates how states can shape the ways in which these crises unfold. Case studies include: • Diseases such as Covid-19 and Ebola • Natural disasters such as Typhoon Haiyan and the 2010 Haiti earthquake • Manmade disasters such as the Yemen and Congo civil wars or famine The book delves deep into how state response to these challenges can impact political and economic stability and ends by exploring the role played by international institutions and international cooperation in addressing common challenges. This introductory textbook is perfect for undergraduate and masters courses exploring the expanding politics and human security issues surrounding disease and disasters. It will also be of interest to think tanks and policy communities looking for fresh insights to bring into professional practice.
