- **Purpose of consultancy**

The purpose of the consultancy is to provide technical input to enhance the capacity of WHO-EMRO to detect acute public health events through innovative tools for detection and event management. The consultant will liaise between the HQ-Public Health Intelligence (PHI) team on the development and use of the SAFE platform and EMS2 (event management site) suite. In this regard, he is responsible for providing orientation to the other PHI colleagues.
- **Background**

The WHO Health Emergencies Programme (WHE) is mandated to enhance WHO’s capacity for the rapid detection, assessment, and follow-up of all public health risks. This provides the opportunity to establish a framework that facilitates the implementation of a common approach to public health intelligence and public health event management across all levels of the organization.

The Health Emergency Information and Risk Assessment (HIM) Unit is responsible for identifying new public health events, assessing risks to public health, conducting epidemiological surveillance and field investigations, monitoring public health interventions, and communicating public health information to technical partners.

Under the HIM Unit is the Public Health Intelligence (PHI) Team, which is at the forefront of rapidly identifying emerging public health threats, assessing the risks and communicating them. This enables timely response and strategies to address critical needs and avoid further morbidity and mortality. The key to deliver this crucial task is to identify signals within 24 hours, verify, risk assess and communicate and manage these acute public health events. The team systematically uses the Epidemic Intelligence from Open Source (EIOS) and social media platforms in collecting relevant information that may have potential to international public health. The team works 24/7 and produces results with a very tight deadline.

Technical support is needed to provide assistance in the detection of signals and management of acute public health events, risk assessment, development of communication products (posts on the Event Information Site (EIS), Disease Outbreak News (DON), Daily and Weekly Summary of Events) and assist in the monitoring process of the regional IHR communications as needed. Support is also required to liaise between HQ and EMRO-PHI/HIM in the development and utilization of the SAFE platform and EMS2 Suite.
