Core Group Polio and Global Health Security (CGP-GHS) Program
The CGP-GHS program of Kenya integrated national health security priorities to strengthen outbreak and epidemic preparedness planning, detection, and response capabilities in communities deemed at heightened risk of infectious disease threats especially priority zoonotic diseases. Through a multi-sectoral, One Health approach, the program leverages existing capacities that focus on the training and support of community health workers, outbreak response planning, community-based surveillance, and risk communication.
The overall project goal is to contribute to polio eradication by increasing population immunity and enhancing Community-based-surveillance (CBS) for Acute Flaccid Paralysis (AFP) and Priority zoonotic diseases in high-risk and hard-to-reach populations along the Kenya/Ethiopia/Somalia County of Mandera.
