#Dosso #Niger 3 days workshop. The @WHO REPREP (Response Preparedness) programme, in collaboration with @FAO & @WOAH, is an initiative designed to help countries strengthen their preparedness for zoonoses. It structures a multisectoral response (human health, animal health, environmental) before crises occur, through joint operational plans & exercises.
The key point of the REPREP #OneHealth programme is to create a national multisectoral response framework to better manage outbreaks of zoonotic diseases. During the workshop, participants will agree on a process for finalizing & operationalizing the joint framework. This process will be implemented in the post-workshop phase. The session is organized in collaboration with @OMSNiger with technical online support @TTSTOP & @barryrodB on behalf of @WHOAFRO #DakarHub, preparedness team. #ProudToBeWHO.
