11 Outbreak Response Teams Core team capacities include 4 essential functions: Team leadership Safety & Security Operational support IT/Data Management Minimum standards to be jointly developed by GOARN RRC partners for each of these functions A common operational language

12 Team types GOARN RRC focus on response to infectious diseases outbreaks, 4 main team types are proposed: Outbreak Investigation and Response Mobile Laboratory Risk Assessment Operational research..a return to basics

13 Supporting functions GOARN RRC supporting functions aim to strengthen coordination (inter-operabilitiy?) of the RRTs and to ensure support partners in building up capacities Core supporting functions include: Coordination Trainings Standards and quality assurance Tools

14 Expected Advantages Coordinated support to countries for outbreak response will be faster more capacity available Assure higher level of quality, operability and safety Dependable capacity, more targeted and reliable Raised acceptance & country trust Member states engagement, and NGOs, Donor confidence

15 Advantages for the partners Support international deployments Enable close cooperation between teams, and institutions Complement and develop essential team functions depending on context and event Access and collaboration on common training activities Provide methodological support Provide a framework for capacity building.
