Support to the World Health Organization (WHO) for Response to the Ebola Virus Disease Outbreak in Western Africa

 

The objective of the project is to contribute to on-going efforts to reduce the morbidity, mortality and to break the chain of transmission of EVD by strengthening capacities at the district level of affected countries in western Africa to actively find, investigate and refer cases, register all potential contacts and monitor them for symptom development, strengthen data collection, reporting and analysis, and promote appropriate messaging for behavior change. This project also aims to address other public health issues in the affected countries that are exacerbated by the EVD outbreak.
