Closed

The Avian Influenza Control and Human Pandemic Preparedness and Response Project for Moldova minimizes the threat posed to humans by Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza (HPAI) and other infectious diseases that originate in animals. To achieve this, the Project will conduct surveillance for outbreaks of such diseases, prepare for outbreaks, and act to control outbreaks among humans and animals. There are four project components. Component 1, Animal Health, supports government surveillance of the HPAI and other diseases by procurement of vital laboratory equipment for identifying viruses and through training of technicians. Moreover, it strengthens HPAI control programs through training and through procurement of special equipment for culling birds. To encourage reporting of sick animals, the component establishes and contributes to a Compensation Fund for farmers whose poultry are culled. Component 2: Human health. This component strengthens the health system's response capacity through investments in laboratory equipment for identifying viral infections, equipment for intensive care units, training, and potentially, anti-viral medications and influenza vaccines. Component 3, Public Awareness and Information, supports information and communication activities to increase public understanding of HPAI and to promote commitment and cooperation by civil society, the private sector, and government. Component 4: Implementation Support and Monitoring & Evaluation. This component supports project management, monitoring, and evaluation.
