Potential health emergencies rapidly detected and risks assessed

threats, and monitoring of interventions; and continuing to support the development and maintenance of global data systems for epidemic and pandemic intelligence that focuses on the development of a global data ecosystem to produce timely insights and tools for policy-makers before, during and after epidemic and pandemic events. The Secretariat will support countries to: manage, coordinate and monitor acute public health emergencies; deliver appropriate health information services to respond to epidemics or acute humanitarian crises, including the implementation and strengthening of early warning and response to outbreaks; outbreak investigations and risk assessments, including strengthening field epidemiology; detect, verify, risk assess and communicate on the Event Information Site (EIS) platform, improving compliance with the International Health Regulations (2005); and generate timely information during and after responses, by supporting data management and analytics, and build capacity for it, and support countries in implementing appropriate digital solutions for health information and surveillance, including Go.Data. In producing technical products on norms/standard, data and research, the Secretariat will: produce regular global information products on acute events, disease risk and threats globally; develop interim epidemiological guidance to support national, regional and global response during acute events and emergencies; strengthen data-sharing platforms to connect and integrate multisectoral sources of information, including open access to tools and analysis to inform tactical and strategic operations and decision-making; foster and coordinate information exchange during and outside of specific emergencies through the Global Outbreak Alert and Response Network (GOARN); and develop and maintain a global surveillance data ecosystem harnessing artificial intelligence to predict, detect and analyse health threats more effectively, including ensuring that technological solutions and algorithms that are developed under the Epidemic Intelligence from Open Sources (EIOS) initiative are open-source under appropriate open-access licensing models.
