During this year, a field assessment for preparedness and response activities at the field level was conducted in 17 governorates. Results showed weakening of the capacity and dilution of knowledge in HPAI control activities. Accordingly, a plan for refresh training of field personnel on preparedness and response was developed to cover 20 governorates. A number of two TOT for GOVS personnel was conducted to leverage their capacity in conducting the training at field level.

Up to now, Six P&R workshops covering ten governorates have been implemented and a number of another four was planned to be implemented up to end of October to target the remaining selected governorates.
