4 action orientated Subgroups
currently:
Research and Development .One Health. Surveillance .Stewardship
Beyond 2016: From declarations to deeds
• Building on the success of the last 3 years in RAISING AWARENESS we now need to focus efforts on NATIONAL IMPLEMENTATION. We will therefore focus on:
Implications for the GHSA more
broadly
What does this mean for GHSA and our domestic policy?
Better coordination between relevant APs: Zoonotic, Surveillance, Laboratory Systems;
Workforce
Engaging other Countries outside this room: Engaging neighbouring countries in our own
regions
Close working with Multilaterals: Support the efforts of WHO,FAO and OIE e.g GLASS but also
make the most of the support they can offer
