Take a look at how @STOPSpillover and our partners are driving progress towards strengthening the capacity of countries to prepare for & identify high-risk interfaces & control zoonotic diseases. #2023STOPSpillover annual report

In markets in Sierra Leone people constantly handle, butcher, process, and consume sell wild meat with little attention to biosafety and hygiene. With support from @USAID, @STOPSPillover Sierra Leone implemented a rapid 30-day PPE campaign with wild meat traders and processors.

[STOP Spillover @STOPSpillover]

With support from @USAID, @STOPSPILLOVER_ Cambodia has engaged stakeholders from international agencies, government ministries, academic institutions, NGOs, and local authorities in a tabletop simulation to discuss, test & role play outbreak risk management coordination.

Beating the odds to reach the high-risk interfaces in last mile communities in Africa and Asia. From the bat caves in the mountains of Bundibugyo in Uganda, to the wildlife farms in Dong Nai province, Viet Nam, and beyond.

[STOP Spillover @STOPSpillover]

Looking back on #2023 @STOPSPILLOVER: we continued to strengthen in-country capacity to urgently prepare & respond to spillover events in concurrence with GHSA & JEE.

STOP Spillover focused on prioritized zoonotic viruses across seven @USAID priority countries in Africa & Asia.

[STOP Spillover @STOPSpillover]

Journalists play a major role in shaping people’s understanding of an outbreak.

Three capacity strengthening grants were awarded by @STOPSpillover in Sierra Leone, Cote d’Ivoire & Bangladesh, & over 120 journalists trained on accurate coverage of zoonotic diseases.

Going local to reduce the risk of spillover.

Learn how @STOPSPILLOVER _ Côte d'Ivoire is working with district level stakeholders to increase capacity for wildlife carcass identification and disposal in the District des Montagnes.

During a recent community-level stakeholder consultation in Sierra Leone, stakeholders described lessons learned during the Ebola outbreak & emphasized the importance of local leaders & the implementation of local by-laws that helped mitigate & slow the rapid spread of Ebola.

[STOP Spillover @STOPSpillover]

A tabletop simulation exercise—though less intense than a full-scale simulation—provides an opportunity to assess community readiness, structure functionality and staff’s ability to respond to an epidemic.
