The Vietnam Integrated National Program on Avian Influenza, Pandemic Preparedness and “One Health”, 2011-2015 seeks an International Consultant on Cost Estimates to prepare a consolidated cost estimate.
During the past decade, Vietnam has experienced successive significant threats to public health and economic growth from the international transmission of new strains of zoonotic viruses including SARS, Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza A(H5N1) and the Pandemic (H1N1) 2009. The Vietnam Integrated National Operational Program for Avian Influenza (OPI), 2006-2010 (the “Green Book”), has provided a framework for activities by national agencies and international partners with the overall objective of reducing the health risk to humans from avian influenza by controlling the disease at source in domestic poultry, by detecting and responding promptly to human cases, and by preparing for the medical consequences of a human pandemic. A mid-term review of the OPI was conducted in 2009 with 43 recommendations for the future period.
The selected international consultant will provide a overall cost estimate as an input into the development of the human health and pandemic preparedness sections of the Vietnam Integrated National Program on Avian Influenza, Pandemic Preparedness and “One Health”, 2011-2015, based on review and consolidation of individual cost estimates prepared by related national agencies as well as supplementary estimates including for overall activities related to coordination and monitoring.
