Company Description
The Intergovernmental Authority on Development (IGAD) has secured funding from the Pandemic Fund to implement a multi-sectoral pandemic preparedness and response (PPR) initiative in the IGAD region. The PREPARE project is a multi-year regional initiative aimed at strengthening PPR activities across the seven IGAD countries—Djibouti, Ethiopia, Kenya, Somalia, South Sudan, Sudan, and Uganda—within the One Health framework. This initiative involves collaboration among ministries of health, livestock, environment, and other relevant sectors in the target countries. It will enhance the capacities of IGAD member states, with a focus on cross-border and mobile populations (CBMPs). IGAD will lead the execution of PPR interventions under the One Health framework, coordinating and harmonizing support for integrated cross-border efforts in surveillance, laboratory capacity building, human resource development, and partner coordination. IGAD will partner with the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC), which will facilitate community-level activities through its national societies. With its extensive experience and expertise in PPR, risk communication, and community engagement (RCCE), the IFRC will leverage its Red Cross and Red Crescent network to support these efforts.
