This Learning Brief is the first in a series to pull out areas of interest to a wide range of people in the global health security sector from the independent midterm evaluation of the Public Health England (PHE) International Health Regulations (IHR) Strengthening Project.
The Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC) International Health Regulations (IHR)1 Strengthening Project2, delivered by Public Health England (PHE) as part of the Global Health Security (GHS) Programme, aims to build health system capacity in six countries and at regional level in Africa and Asia, with a view to improving GHS. PHE has been allocated £16 million of UK Official Development Assistance (ODA), over a five year period (April 2016 – March 2021), to contribute to GHS action at national, regional and global levels and lead to measurable strengthening of public health systems in six countries (Nigeria, Ethiopia, Sierra Leone, Myanmar, Pakistan and Zambia) and within Africa CDC.
