The READY initiative held this one-hour webinar to launch our recently published guidance, Coordination de la réponse aux épidémies de maladies infectieuses : guide d'introduction à l'intention des organisations non gouvernementales. The purpose of this guide is to help national and international nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) better understand the basic elements of outbreak response coordination in major disease outbreaks.
This webinar showcased an expert panel discussion on the opportunities and barriers for humanitarian actors working at the national and sub-national levels to meaningfully engage with outbreak response coordination. Bringing together global, national, and sub-national perspectives and expertise, panelists discussed the role of NGOs in outbreak response, how they can most effectively navigate outbreak response coordination mechanisms, and how to effectively contribute to nationally-led responses.

Children are often the most vulnerable group in major infectious disease outbreaks, either directly from the disease itself or the indirect effects such as disruption to essential services and movement restrictions. With recent Ebola outbreaks in Uganda and DRC and an unprecedented number of cholera outbreaks around the world, there is a growing and urgent need for timely and effective child protection and health collaboration and integration to ensure the needs of children and their families are prioritized during outbreak response.
To strengthen integration and collaboration between child protection and health actors, READY facilitated this three-part inter-agency webinar series. Each webinar took place during the same one-hour period (15:30-16:30 EAT / 7:30-8:30 AM EST/ 12:30-13:30 GMT). The topics and dates of the webinars were:
- January 18, 2023: Understanding the centrality of children and their protection in infectious disease outbreaks
- February 1, 2023: Integrating child protection into the design and operation of isolation and treatment centers
- April 5, 2023: Communicating with children in infectious disease outbreaks (originally scheduled for February 15, 2023)
These webinars are intended for health and child protection actors working within NGOs in East, Central, and Southern Africa, but may also interest actors working in other countries, regions, and agencies. The webinars were presented in English with live interpretation into French and Arabic.
This series was hosted by the READY initiative, led by Save the Children, and funded by the USAID Bureau for Humanitarian Assistance.
