**Purpose of consultancy**:
The main objective of this consultancy is to provide technical support in surveillance work and the development of documents for the detection, prevention, and control of high-threat pathogens such as emerging and re-emerging vector-borne and zoonotic infectious diseases in the Eastern Mediterranean Region.

**Background**:
Countries in the Eastern Mediterranean Region continue to be the hotspots for emerging and re-emerging diseases including infectious disease outbreaks which have a significant impact on health and economic development in the Region. Available surveillance data from the countries reveal that emerging vector-borne and zoonotic diseases pose a significant burden in the Region.

Zoonotic diseases are infectious diseases that can spread between animals and people with increased prevalence in recent years or at risk of increasing in the near future. 6 out of every 10 infectious diseases in humans are spread from animals, 3 out of 4 new or emerging infectious diseases come from animals. Zoonotic diseases are responsible for an estimated 2.5 billion cases of illness and 2.7 million deaths worldwide each year.

Vector-borne diseases are human illnesses caused by parasites, viruses, and bacteria that are transmitted by vectors. Vector-borne diseases account for more than 17% of all infectious diseases, causing more than 700 000 deaths annually.

Both vector-borne and zoonotic diseases require a multisectoral, transdisciplinary approach that recognizes the interconnection between the health of people, animals, and plants and their shared environment. The approach ensures collaboration and coordination among all relevant sectors and stakeholders to achieve better health outcomes.

Apparently, emerging and re-emerging vector-borne and zoonotic infections that are associated with high morbidity and mortality continue to be an important public health priority in the Eastern Mediterranean Region (EMR) and require urgent attention. Countries in the Region have experienced multiple outbreaks of vector-borne and zoonotic diseases in the last few decades, and the risk of epidemics caused by vector-borne and zoonosis infectious diseases is high due to the growing interaction between human and animal, climate change and population movement within the region which further heightened the risk of the potential spread of vector-borne and zoonosis infections.

This consultancy is expected to engage in a broad range of epidemiological work (e.g. collection of data, investigation, analysis) and draft a regional report based on the data collected from the regional arboviral survey and a regional arboviral strategic plan and any other requested documents associated to high-threat pathogens.

**Work to be performed**:
**OUTPUT 1**: Conduct analysis and documentation of high-threat pathogens in EMR

**Deliverable 1.1**: Draft a regional report based on the previously collected arboviral survey data from member states in EMR

**Deliverable 1.2**: Elaborate on the regional Vector-Borne and Zoonotic Diseases Strategic Guidance and draft a regional Arboviral Strategic Plan in coordination with relevant units/departments in WHO and partners

**Deliverable 1.3**:Provide technical support for analysis and documentation for the detection, prevention, and control of high-threat pathogens in EMR

**OUTPUT 2**:Engage in surveillance/epidemiological work for high-threat pathogens in the context of One Health

**Deliverables 2.1**: Enhance coordination across 3 levels of WHO and with partners, regular collection of surveillance data from countries and analysis for high-threat pathogens, and engage in follow-up activities

**Deliverable 2.2**: Provide technical support in the development of analytical manuscripts for surveillance and epidemiology of high-threat pathogens in EMR and data-sharing mechanisms in the context of One Health

**OUTPUT 3**: Create a robust regional network/community for vector-borne and zoonotic diseases in EMR

**Deliverable 3.1**: Conduct a mission to countries in response to high-threat pathogen outbreaks or sharing of expertise based on the country's needs and requests. Participate in WHO/external meetings as an expert in high-threat pathogens in EMR and share expertise with others
