Health emergencies preparedness and response strengthening in Togo

The Project’s objective is to strengthen the preparedness and resilience of the Togolese public health system to health emergencies. The Project’s specific objectives are to:

1. strengthen the system of detection, early warning and response to epidemics and pandemics
2. improve the functionality and quality of the national laboratory network for the diagnosis of diseases with epidemic potential
3. strengthen capacity in both human and animal health for public health emergency preparedness.

Implementation arrangements and key components

Expected outcomes

Improvements in early warning and response systems to disease outbreaks, in the national laboratory network for disease diagnosis, and in workforce capacity in the human and animal health sectors are expected to reduce the health, social, and economic impact of future health emergencies in Togo. Efforts to mobilize additional domestic and external resources are expected to result in sustained and expanded investments in PPR over time.
