WHO South-East Asia Region (SEAR) 2012-2013

The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) funds nine non-research bilateral influenza cooperative agreements in the South-East Asia Region (SEAR). Cooperative agreements with eight Ministries of Health (MOH) or institutions designated by the MOH build capacity to routinely identify, diagnose and respond to seasonal, avian and pandemic influenza. In addition, CDC supports the WHO Regional Office for South-East Asia (SEARO) via a cooperative agreement.

Six of the eight countries ( Bangladesh[802 KB, 2 pages] , India[787 KB, 2 pages] , Indonesia[1.2 MB, 2 pages] , Nepal[834 KB, 2 pages] , Sri Lanka[821 KB, 2 pages] and Thailand[848 KB, 2 pages] ) were awarded sustainability grants and are in varying stages of completion. These grants support the countries for additional five years. Bhutan[531 KB, 1 page] and Maldives[531 KB, 1 page] were awarded their first influenza capacity building grants in September 2013. Countries are expected to do the following: develop and maintain a surveillance system that allows countries to rapidly detect, identify and respond to seasonal, novel and pandemic influenza, participate in the World Health Organization’s (WHO) Global Influenza Surveillance and Response System (GISRS), and create and implement a sustainability plan that phases out U.S. government funding.
